Anyone have a source for the Eskimo Quick Fish III shelter?
#1
I want to purchase an Eskimo Quick Fish III ice fishing shelter; however, I can't find anyone locally or Online that has them in stock. Anyone happen to know where one is still available?

I Googled the livin' daylights out of the Web for them and they seem to be out of stock EVERYWHERE. So were the Eastman Ice Cubes, although Cabela's in Lehi said they were getting 6 of them "soon, they are being shipped."
That's one reason why I went with the Eskimo QuickFlip II - they were available.

I have a buddy who has been looking as well (he loves mine). He checked with Sportsman's and their Anchorage store had three as of last Monday or Tuesday. They told him he'd have to prepay and for the cost of shipping they would have one sent down here. For some reason he didn't go that route. Aside from that, he hasn't found one anywhere.

I happened to see -2- of these today at Cabela's- They were in boxes towards the back / by the African animal exhibit-

They were on sale - 15% off... but I don't recall what the final cost was.

Hope this helps...PB

I know the ice cube is similar to the QF III. There are several ebay sites selling them.

I saw about 4 of them at the cabela's in Lehi Yesterday. They were not on display but they were on the floor next to the ice shelters right by the fish finders. I had never seen or heard of them before, and there was no price on them so i went right home and looked it up on the web. Hopfully there is still one there for you.

Thanks for the replies from everyone. It will cost me $51 more, but I just purchased on eBay, the Eastman Four-Person Ice Cube. It is 21 inches larger in width and length, and still weighs the same (23 pounds) as the Eskimo Quick Fish 3. I just called Cabela's and they have six Eskimo Quick Fish 3s in stock, and on sale for $169 (regularly $199), which was extremely tempting, but I know that I will enjoy the additional 21 inches.

[black][size 3]Kent, where does it say it is 21 inches bigger. The things I have read say it is only 1 inch bigger in length and width?????[/size][/black]

Ok, I just re-read the ebay sites and it says that it is 91X91. But this site says it is only 71 X 71 at the base and 90 X 90 at the hubs..... [url "http://setthehook.com/icefishing/shelters/icecube.htm"]http://setthehook.com/icefishing/shelters/icecube.htm[/url]
That would make it only 1 inch bigger than the quick fish III.

Does anyone know which one is correct? Is it really 71 inches square or 91 inches square?

After your reply I went back and double checked, and I misread the information provided. At your first eBay link there is a diagram showing the Ice Cube to be 91"X91". In reading other sources that is the maximum if one measures to the extreme outside edges of the tent (not the size of the base). At this official link it gives the dimensions as being 1" bigger.

Sure wish that I would have noticed that before, and I could have picked up a Quick Fish 3 on sale at Cabela's today, and enjoyed it tomorrow in the cold at Strawberry. Oh well, I guess that I will enjoy my extra 1".[unsure]
