I'm sure this has been covered, and in my defense I used the search feature but had no luck.  Are shanty tow bars required on lake erie?  Ill be hauling a smitty sled with a suitcase shanty.  I have an idea on how I will make them but won't have time before my trip tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

Stopped by kiser to check the ice and seen about half a dozen people strung out over the entire east side of the lake. Walked out in the middle of a few shanties and measured the ice at 5" nice clear ice. Had a good powder snow cover. Didn't know if anyone was catching but will probably find out for myself tomorrow
