Title: Shanty Mods
Post by: icebucketjohn on November 02, 2011, 10:42:28 AM
Since I'm home with a bum left ankle., (sprained it Sunday Oct 30), I'm going stir crazy. Have spent hours sofar at various ice fishing websites, videos, manufacturers, etc. Needless to say, it's been lots of fun and really getting me pumped of the upcoming season.
Contemplating upgrading & improving my son's Clam Nanook.
Adding runners are at the top of the list.
Thinking about adding some LED lights to the Clam Nanook.
(I did take out the folding chairs for the weight reduction and used 5 gallon buckets last year).
Any comments, suggestions, insights, experiences, & directions would be appreciated.

IBJ, sorry to hear about the ankle. Hope it heals up quick. One simple thing I added to my shack was a golf towell. It has a metal clip ring on it that attaches to a golf bag. I just clip it on one of my poles overhead and let it hang. It is ready for me to wipe the fish slime off and can be removed if needed. Since it has a clip on it I can slide it left or right to keep it out of the way. Hope this helps.

Hollhisle has the salmo towels that are part of the support package, and in his case you can also use these to wipe your tears if your fishing partner out fishes you every time you go fishing :o

Gosh Chris you're starting early this year I love it, but I heard he got a new camo suit so he could sneak up on the fish and hook them when they're not looking.

I like that set up!
Can you describe how you did it and what you used. Maybe a close up picture.
Thanks
