Bob House Pulled!

[20mile]

(See pic below) While there was still plenty of ice, the ice was very soft and the upcoming warm forecast told me it was time to get the hell out of Dodge! A short ice season this year for sure!

Time for this ice to melt and time to get the Eastern ready for trolling season!

We put ours on last year on less than desirable ice thickness. It doesn't take much to support a shack. Just be careful of 10" holes that grow to 30" holes this time of year.
