Got all the essentials...Rods Store on the cover, and the tackle is in a removable tray. Under the tray os tip-up storage....and in case I need to do some paper work....a little something on the side...that was my son's donation.

Very nice, neat and organized! I leave a trail of gear and clothing across the ice....

Great job, That's an awesome idea to have the jigging rod holders in the lid, can't tell you how many of them I have snapped over the years just carrying them around in a 5 gal pail or laying them in the sled.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry

I made almost the same one years ago from a article in the fisherman mag.
Mine has a hinge on the back with a inlay pic of a bass,it also has a 1/2 moon bracket to hold the auger on top.
The only problem is that you need to 2 people and a truck to move it!

Nice job on yours

We finally finished ours today. After a few tweaks it's good to go. It's pretty large but tows without effort. The problem we had was in deep snow but with some Portuguese engineering we fixed the problem and she pulled nice in 8 inches. I'll get some pic's posted after we give her a camo paint job. The camo paint job will ensure that nobody will see where we are fishing.

We are probably going to head to Quaboag Pond around mid week for some pike. If anyone wants to head up shoot me a pm. Probably can't get there until around 10am but we will fish the full day.
