Last year i picked up a polaris xcf fan cooled 440 this year I found a ski-doo mxz 600 that i just got. We also use a 600 grizzly 4x4 wheeler. Late last year i burried my quad 4 times on the way in off the bay and about killed myself getting unstuck. So I decided to find some sleds for when the snow and slush get deep. These are my rides for the bay.

I have a 2001 Ski Doo 2 up that I built a storage box and auger carrier for. I pull my Yukon behind.

That's me on the right. He worked out for fishing in front of the trailer park but took forever to get out to 20' of water. Kept spilling my minnows. That's what those damned birds were after.

Default Rough Ride

Soup,

That looks like it could be a bit of a rough ride to stay on. But very good on fuel. Plus you won't loose any fish at the hole with that polar bear to land them. The birds like you as u must use just a minnow head and toss the rest for them???

Sweet ride man sweet.

Sorry the lack of ice is making me nutz??

EVERYTHING NEEDS TRACKS!

You guys are all spoiled with the new fangled gadgets they have now a days. When I was a kid and first started out on the bay this is what we rode.......Did'nt have any tracks.

What was your line of choice? Braided hog gut or braided horse mane? I supose you carved your own hooks from a block of wood too?!?!?!

When you headed back over to the west side? Ill be over next weekend. Spent my fishing money on truck parts today and i gotta get an alignment tomorrow or id be over there. So, the next scheduled blood bath is next Friday evening. Hopefully its not rough as a cob for a change. Getting tired of dealing with Ma Nature's PMS when im over there. Dont think ive fished in less than 4'ers everytime ive been over there.....Anyhow, gimme a jangle if ya make it over and ill do the same.

If you fish those numbers north of the point you will probably run right into us.
