Thanks for the report! You can easily stop your tent from moving around. Simply attach some cords with a bungee at the ground end of each cord. I have a Frabil that I have cords running from the outside top and bottom edges that with the bungees come together at one point 6' behind the tent. I carry a cordless electric drill to tap a hole in the ice and screw in an eye hook. Then I let the wind settle the tent where it want to move it to. I go inside and mark where I want my holes, I only have about 18" that isn't inside the sled where my seats are. I move the tent to the side drill my holes and move the tent back over the holes. I'm good to go and it has worked in winds up to 50 MHP. The bungees allow for those Ginormous gusts that would rip up the connectors on the tent without some kind of give. Hope this helps the next time you fish out in the gale conditions!
