I don't know if anyone has seen this but in case you haven't... I thought it was rather clever...

Here's the caption:

i'm sure we're glad we don't have to fish in a ziploc bag!! i would rather stand outside with my shorts on, than fish like that.

I have seen many people use just clear plastic on a simple frame. Works ok for the $$ invested. One advantage you can see around a lot better to see where the fish are biting! Done that .. Been there! Have Fun is the main thing...get out there!!!

Problem is everybody else can see you catching fish. I peek out the vents on my Trap to see what others are doing.

Cant knock em! Your shanty isnt whats catch fish anyway. Great idea!! They could use a cheap Black tarp and make the same thing so no one could see them catching fish.

Sounds like that brand(type) would be a little cramped

HEY Y.B. Is that the only fish you caught that trip!!!!

mrlongbeard1 · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 12, 2004, 06:55 PM »

I bet that's one of those plastic fish. You know the kind you can buy so you don't have to kill a real one.LOL

captinjohn · « **Reply #14 on:** Jan 12, 2004, 07:03 PM »

Yea...a blow-up one with to much air!!!

Nice Photo though....what kind of camera?

Yellow Belly · « **Reply #15 on:** Jan 12, 2004, 07:17 PM »

Wish I could take credit for it but I can't.

It's just a picture I found on the Net when I signed up for this site. The reason the fish looks so fat is because I had to shrink the picture sideways to get it to fit.

I wish I could say the same for my wife

Just kidding.

Now the whole world knows my shameful secret. LOL

I think most people who invest in ice tents are of the "lets keep it a secret thing" RIGHT
