Caribou Gear

First fish Of the year

I was on the ice in Northern Wisconsin over the weekend and saw trucks out on the ice. We were in 10-11”, way too early for me to drive out here.

I remember once driving on 12” of ice. There was a 3/4 ton out there and I was like if he can drive out I can too lol

They’ve been trying to drive on the ice at Chetek since October!

 
Is that a hovercraft of some sort?
Either way, your ice fishing gear game trumps mine. As does your ice fishing success.
It’s a hovercraft. It has a 25hp motor to run the fan and a 12.5hp motor to inflate the skirt. I was just along for the ride, it’s not mine, although I told my wife I’ll be getting one ASAP! It was fun to be able to get to places otherwise impossible because of distance or in this case ice conditions. We had to cross a couple of open water areas on a slough.
