ATV on the Ice

[RonPaulFan]

Thanks, Randy and Kent and CoyoteSpinner.

I wasn't considering a Slush Monster.

I suppose for that I should wear waders and drag a sled like ordinary Earthlings.

Well, at least until I get another idea. How about I fabricate a frame for hauling things and attach a pair of old skis to the bottom? Does that work in the various conditions or all except the Slush Monster?

I haven't bought a sled and they look like a poor value for just a piece of vacuum formed plastic. But, I have a quality Venture Outdoors fly fishing pontoon boat (at least until I sell it to replace it http://www.ventureoutdoors.net/productpi...t8TGal.htm with a fishing kayak -- I like the Hobbie sailing version with pedal powered propulsion). The pontoon boat should be a stable base for loading with lots of gear and dragging it over the Slush Monster with buoyancy to slide over without sinking into it. What's going on with that? A lake forming on top of a frozen lake surface? Am I thinking right on that?

Will a pontoon boat win against the formidable Slush Monster?

Nothing works well it seems from the posts since I've heard: helicopter, Mars Rover ... abandon expensive equipment ... interesting challenges!

You guys put up with all that for ice fishing! It must be fun. I'm glad I'm getting into it!
