I have always wondered this:  If you freeze about a foot of ice in a barrel or waterproof box, drill a hole in the middle, put a trap on it and float it off the side of a canoe or boat with a trap in it, would this not be legal?  The def of ice fishing in the law book is fishing through a manmade opening in ice with a trap, jig rod or hand line?  I bet the warden would be speechless anyway.  could have 5 of these, use a fence staple to anchor a rope too it, and float them all around the boat!

It would be just like using planer boards on a boat sounds cool. I wonder what a warden would do?

I saw a news story on Bill Green's Maine last year where they took a chunk of ice and did just what you said.  They had a warden confirm that it is LEGAL.  As long as your line is through ice you are fine!  ;D
