the weather is worm and sunny. That is if your a hard water man, other wise it is damp and rainy with no sign of ice.
I finished up my sled yesterday.
I contemplated the idea of putting on lots and lots of stuff on my sled. and as I got around to actualy doing it, I kept reminding my self that this is my porta sled for when I cant take the quad. And that I made a couple rules about fishing many many years ago.
When I am the mule,
[ul][li]Keep it light[/li][li]Keep it simple[/li][li]Keep it compact[/li][/ul]
This being said there were a lot of things I omited after my original plans were thought up.
I had plans on putting a box on the bottom so that the sled would double as a wind block, I can still make that modification in the future if and when the wind ever becomes a factor to me.
I omitted putting on pvc rod holders yesterday after the sled construction was done. I had already started cutting the pvc when I remembered that I already have protable rod holders on my boat and the side walls of my sled is sturdy enough to handle the rod holders. So I figured there is no sence in making more work for my self.
All in all I spent more time thinking about what I was going to do and when it came down to time to actualy do it, I got the job done in less than 30 minutes labor.
I did not take step by step photos on how to do this but I did take pictures of the finished construction. I will give step by step instructions for any one who wishes to copy this heavey duty Green sled.
