Ohio Mayor Says It's a Slippery Slope from Ice Fishing to Prostitution.

The mayor of an Ohio town recently voiced his opposition to allowing ice fishing at a local park by inexplicably linking the pastime to prostitution.

Mayor Craig Shubert of Hudson, Ohio recently voiced his opposition to local ice fishing by stating that it leads to prostitution.

Mayor Craig Shubert of Hudson, Ohio recently voiced his opposition to local ice fishing by stating that it leads to prostitution.

Mayor Craig Shubert of Hudson, Ohio, made his comments at a council meeting this week during a discussion about the safety and liability issues that might arise if the city allows ice fishing at Hudson Springs Park.

"If you open this up to ice fishing, which while on the surface, it sounds good, then what happens next year? Does somebody come back and say, 'I want an ice shanty in Hudson Springs Park for X amount of time?'" Shubert asked. "And if you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then that leads to another problem: prostitution. And now you have the police chief of the police department involved. Just some data points to consider."

Ice shanties are portable sheds used to provide shelter while fishing.

In response to the mayor's comments, city council member Chris Banweg responded, "That's why I'm not in favor of shanties." Attendees laughed.

Ice fishing has been prohibited at the park for several years, according to WOIO. While the city council's decision on whether to allow it is unclear, city council members said that the city should make residents aware of ice fishing's dangers.

Ice fishers can fall through the ice into sub-zero waters, injure themselves with fishing equipment, set themselves aflame or even inhale toxic levels of carbon monoxide due to rudimentary heating systems inside of ice shanties, according to a 2017 Mayo Clinic study on ice fishing injuries.



I didn't know this.   :dunno:   :chuckle:

I've been icefishing alot.... and while innuendo are often present i've never seen it escalate to that level. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.

"Ice fishers can fall through the ice into sub-zero waters"

That is not even possible.  If the water is sub-zero, it is already way below turning into ice, therefore if you fall into sub-zero water, might end up with a bruise or two, but not drown.  The air temp may be sub-zero, but the water temp below the ice is above 32 degrees.  This statement came from the Mayo Clinic?  Hopefully someone who is not too sharp paraphrased their study.

Not sure about this. It's really cold outside icefishing,I'm pretty sure my equipment is going to perform in frigid temps.

My experiences ice diving was that the water was 36 to 37 degrees below the ice.  The Puget Sound varies from 48 to 54 in most places (by contrast).

Believe it or not but you can have liquid water until -55f. Probably doesn’t happen much if at all in nature but it can def be below freezing and still be liquid. Kind of crazy but pressure and other things can affect it.

Moving water can be colder than 32, but I'm guessing there isn't much of that going on in a town pond.

My guess is the mayor knows something about shanty life the rest of us don't.   :chuckle:

Much the same can be said for using RVs for hunting. They may lead to prostitution!!! I've thought that an RV full of hotties might well make bank during hunting season traveling around from camp to camp. Thank you mayor. :tup:

As any Minnesotan will tell you, when ice fishing, the correct term is "Frostitution"

Ha!  :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

With hunting, I believe it's called Rutting for Dollars.

Back in the heyday of pheasant hunting in the Dakotas there was actually a flow of "working women" who went to the Dakotas during the season.  :chuckle:
