Ice house Johns (crappers, toilets...)


Judd

Recommended Posts

This is my 2nd year with a permanent house on Mille Lacs (8x16). Last year I used a 5 gallon bucket with a garbage bag liner, tied up the bag, let it freeze and then stuck it in a heavy duty garbage bag for disposal. Just curious on any more innovative approaches to the call of nature.

Well........ I have sometimes used a one man. If you're lucky it'll sink. There's only one problem with this.... You have to know who your true buddies are. On one occasion I was in the makeshift pooper, And my buddy thought it would be humorous to pull the sled around. Talk about being caught with your pants down. There I was going for ride with my drawers at my ankles and all of the by-standers watching and wondering why there was a guy hollering in the one man being pulled around. Now I make sure i've got a good distance between us. That way I'll have everything tucked away before he gets there. Of course pay back is a son of a gun. Instead of pulling him around, I just flipped the top.....The moon was out a little early that day.

Sounds like quite an event.

I put together a kit to use on the ice when old Ma' Nature calls. Pretty simple, trash bag in a 5 gallon bucket, some paperwork of course, and just let it freeze and take it home in the back of the pickup.

When ya got to go, it just really doesn't seem to matter how elaborate the facilities are.

Most all of the resorts I fish out of have public restrooms ranging from heated flush toilets and showers to just plain old out houses, but in a pinch a plastic bucket lined with a plastic trash bag works just fine. Just remember to take it home with you when you leave the lake, there is way too much crap left on the lake to suit most of us.

I believe you Big Guns.

This is in the way past, so lets leave it there.

People should really think before they do something so stupid.

His names mark and I haven't seen him since I met him out on eden. He came out with a friend of mine I hadn't seen in a while. Windier than heck that day. So hes lookin and can't hold it. Never said anything to the guy. I was only foolin about payback, but you gotta admit it would be pretty **** funny to give him a big steamer on his door step.

Two years ago I bought the Luggable Loo from Fleet Farm for $10, its a 5 gallon bucket with a snap on toilet seat. We just put a small garbage bag inside of it and off you go! Sure beats digging a hole in the snow bank, and it makes it really easy to help keep the lake clean. Just toss the bag on the ice to freeze and then throw it out once you get to shore. I am pretty sure FF still has these, well worth the $10 and really makes it a lot easier than the chemical toilets since these have to be emptied and the chemicals tend to freeze.

Good luck in your selection!

      These ads are irritating. I’ve been delayed getting to our island; but health issues with my wife, my mother and my dog ( I hope that’s in the right order) but I hit the lake tomorrow. I’ll fish the next day and I promise temps and any tips ( I’ll be using rainbows) I can offer.  RLG

      Riders with an all-terrain vehicle registered for private or agricultural use won’t need to pay the registration fee to ride the state’s public ATV trails June 10-11. This is the 10th year that Minnesota is providing ATV riders with free access to more than 3,000 miles of state forest and grant-in-aid trails during an annual no registration weekend.Discuss below - to view set the hook here.

      I have complete confidence in their expertise, and I'm certain that our cabin and fish cleaning house will soon have a brand new roof that not only meets our needs but exceeds our expectations. It's such a relief to have found a trustworthy contractor after previously having negative experiences. I'm incredibly grateful for the recommendations I received, and I'm excited to move forward with this reputable roofing contractor. If anyone is in need of a reliable and fair contractor in the area, I'd be more than happy to share their contact information

      On the south end...  A great week of walleye and sauger fishing on Lake of the Woods.  Lots of limits.  Good numbers of fish being caught, which includes eaters, slots and some trophy walleyes to make things interesting!    Most anglers are jigging with a frozen emerald shiner or live minnow.  Jig colors to consider are gold with a bright color such as gold / pink, gold / glow white and even gold with some tinsel.     Some reports of spinners starting to work well tipped with a minnow or crawler.  A great technique is drifting with a 2 ounce bottom bouncer and spinner rig. Fish being caught around the lake.  Trust your electronics and watch for fish.  In addition to the south shore where various schools of walleyes and saugers are living, consider the Garden Island area, Knight / Bridges Island area, and Twin Islands where good fish are being caught.   Most walleyes in that 18 - 24 foot depth.    Good pike reports.  Back bays are still holding good eaters and a few big females.  Some of the larger fish have made their way to the lake.   On the Rainy River...   Walleye anglers are finding some nice eater walleyes in the River.  There is always a number of walleyes that stay in the river all year.  Whether you like the beauty and secluded feel of the river, have a small boat or simply want to get out of the wind, the river is a great summer spot with little traffic.  Anchored up or slowly moving upstream with a jig and minnow, trolling spinners / crawlers or trolling crankbaits are all effective right now.     Smallmouth bass are plentiful in the Rainy River.  Whether you are a bass angler or simply want to mix up species, target feeder rivers, bridges, and areas with rocks.   The sturgeon season will re-open again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Excellent walleye fishing this past week.  The jig and minnow is the goto bait.  Anglers using spinners with crawlers or minnows and crankbaits are catching lots of fish as well.     Structure around the many islands holding walleyes.  Shallow flats areas with current are also heating up.     Great fishing reports from both sides of the border.  NW Angle anglers boating into Canada to fish cannot possess or transport any bait, alive or dead.  Most are using jigs / plastics, artificial crawlers on spinners and crankbaits with great success.  If desired, live bait is available and can be purchased for the day just over the border via boat in Canada, check with your resort for details. This entire area is great for multispecies action.  In addition to walleyes, big pike, smallmouth bass, jumbo perch, crappies,and muskies are also being caught on a regular basis.

      We are heading up a week from Friday if anyone has walleye thoughts on the West end. Thanks!

      Fishing for Walleyes slow. Panfish are going good however.  Lots of junk floating around the lake be careful. Pontooners give the fishing boats a wide birth.

      Thanks to all that have shared reports.   Please post water temps and general area of the lake from the weekend and throughout this week.  I am heading up this weekend and water temp will play a role in our tactics.  Thanks!
