    The cops seeing him with the first 4 lb fish was the clincher. BTW how many of you rules junkies count your fish separately when fishing with friends in the same boat?

    We cannot party fish here in Iowa, so we keep our limits separate unless we are just going to keep one limit (6 eyes, 25 bluegill, 25 crappie, etc). I have been checked and asked to see each person’s limit.. and I have seen others caught with a stringer of 25+ white bass (two people) and the CO told them to separate them right there and make two separate limits.

    When in MN you can party fish, so we just use one livewell and keep a combined total.

    I thought Iowa limit was 5 walleyes?

    I just got my Otter medium box and I’m not seeing a way to attach it to my Polaris sportsman XP 550 rear rack. It came with 4 U bolts but those don’t seem like they will work. What am I missing?

    Do you have the Plastic rack with the speed mounts? (1 inch diameter holes designed for Polaris accessories?)

    My Sportsman has that so what I did was picked up 4 of the Polaris long anchors and mounted them into my otter box and all is well. Once the anchors are tightened the box isn’t moving.

    You drilled holes through bottom of box for anchors and attached them on the inside? Do you recall where you bought these?

    yes I have the rack with speed mount holes. I currently have the lock and ride but needed to upgrade to hold my LX-7. I’ll have to order the long anchor mounts.

    hopefully they will address these and the other small issues before the next production run.

    I have the Otter Ice Cottage 1-man house and LOVE IT! It has plenty of room when set up for me at 6’ and 230 lbs. I also run two fishing holes, a Big Buddy Tough heater, Marcum Camera and Marcum Flasher all set up on the ice. When stowed all my gear fits inside including the rod bag and lunch box; for size Otter designed the Cottage perfectly for one man and a ton of gear.

    On another note that particular house lives in the back of the plow truck. It spends every single day getting slammed around, stuff bouncing off of it and it has even fell out of the truck on the ice road…twice. Even with the full helping of abuse I have dished out to that little shack it has held together great without one single blemish on it. Not to mention the super easy set up, windows that actually open (didn’t even realize they did that until I fished in it), super comfy seat and the blue camo just looks cool.

    I just can’t tell you how impressed and satisfied I am with my new Otter Cottage.

    glad you are happy with yours. I just bought mine from Reed’s sporting Goods and it didn’t have the new seating system like I expected and had damaged parts and the snap on skin doesn’t fit very well either. guess I should have bought something else

    that’s too bad for the plant employees. I feel for them as my job is on shaky ground too. I did my part and bought a new fish hawk last summer!

    I picked this one up several years ago at Scheels and haven’t seen one since. I don’t know if it is a Rose Creek box or not. But now I know there is something like it still out there and I know I can order one from CJS on my next order. I could use another one or two.

    looks like my bug luggage. great box

    order them here

    haven’t heard any reports from there this winter. I live 20 miles from there and might make 1 trip a year. too mnay other spots produce steady results for the hit & miss I find down there. it doesn’t get much pressure from what I’ve seen and does have some very nice fish. If a guy would put the time in to search and seek it may pay huge dividends

    I fished out there today and had 6″ of ice with no snow cover about 100 yards south of the north ramp. saw shacks set up west of the north ramp this week too. should be good to go on most of the lake from the looks of things. didn’t look like many have went out from the south ramp
