Ice Fishermen Turn to Boating

Hey, you don’t need to spend all of
that money buying a boat just to go fishing! Simply wait until winter and the lake
freezes over. Then go drive the family sedan out on the ice, drill a hole for your
line, and sit on a box in the sub-zero weather. And, think of all the money you
save on fuel! Well, this winter some of these penny-pinching fishermen found out
that using a boat might be the best way to go out on the water – frozen or otherwise.
A whole new crop of ice fishermen discovered boating last winter.

It seems some men will do almost anything to get away from their wives.

But what happens when something goes wrong…

Just going to check and see if there are any fishing down there…

Hey, that’s quite a catch…

We needed a PWC instead of a snowmobile…

Hey, I know a great place to park the car for free…

As regular readers of BoatTEST might have guessed by now, these pictures are courtesy
of our trusty reader, Bill Noble, a fisherman himself, who has passed them on to
us for his usual payment of two packs of Coors Light. He has no idea where they
were taken, or what
year, or even what these men were fishing for. By the way, he
is the one that told us the men were out there sitting on the ice to get away from
their wives – the thought would never have occurred to us. Why would any one want
to do that? Thanks, Bill, for the pictures. See you on the ice.



If any of our readers know where this little fishing fiasco took place, and when,
please let us know…
