A small or medium otter sled works very nice for this.  This kid sleds are too tippy.

Couldn't have said it better my self I have have a small sport a medium sport and a medium pro. I find I use the small sport the most. If your looking for something a bit bigger a medium would work to but I would recommend a small sport should be perfect for you. The small runs for around $40 but you can get them cheaper on sale. Mediums are around $50-$60. And the pro is about $70. Hope this helps!

If you chase panfish late ice, make sure you get a sled with high sides. My Otter Pro has already made several water crossings, while keeping my gear high and dry.

+1 The only down side to going to bigger size sleds is there going to pull harder by hand.

Build yourself a "Smitty" sled. 2 down hill skies with a platform of desired size mounted. Mine is 4' x 4' and the easiest thing you'll ever pull by hand on early ice. Pic of my grandson hauling Eskimo pop up, 20" heat, buckets, auger, 3 flashers and the Hub floor on early ice.

 I was just going to suggest Smitty Sled too. A hybrid version with a kick sled and tail wind might be fun.

Couple pics of the Smitty Sled. Two on the right built with a bit more clearance and have tub sleds.

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.

      Ice condition didn't change much in the last week as shown in the McKinley Park photo from today.  The holes in my house froze all the way down in the last six days; 40 inches of ice now.  I drilled my two holes 24 inches and cleared the shavings out before reaching water.  Much cleaner way in a permanent house.   Fishing was pretty good today.  Caught two 24" walleyes, including the 5#-7oz fatty pictured.  Also caught a 19 incher.  Best bite was from 11 to noon.  Much better action with chubs than shiners today.  Never tried the pike suckers I had.   Good luck fishing the last weekend this winter.  Going to be very windy Friday, but drifting shouldn't b a problem since there is no loose snow on the lake.  Saturday and Sunday look to be very warm.  Still about 35 houses left out from McKinley Park.

      Too bad she’s after big game when she leaves home.  Your one eyed trouser trout might not lure her in. 😉
