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

[Alchase]

Think of the logistics, do hookers go from Shanty to Shanty looking for business?

No silly, you just stick your pole out the window and wave it around a little bit and they come a-skatin'.  Rookies.

Nice

Maybe he had this type of ice shanty/castle in mind

Will admit this makes my 4 ft by 8 ft insulated/ plywood shanty look pretty cheap, even with the wood stove I had in it

If you ice fish in a place that can hold a 7K trailer plus the 3-4 ton fullsized truck needed to pull (it for many weeks in a row so it is worth the investment), then you probably need something that robust to deal with the biting cold it takes to freeze that much ice!!

What would that be, 18-20 inches of clear ice?

From the MN DRN:

For new, clear ice only
UNDER 4" - STAY OFF
4" - Ice fishing or other activities on foot
5" - 7" - Snowmobile or ATV
8" - 12" - Car or small pickup
12" - 15" - Medium truck

Double the above thickness guidelines when traveling on white ice
White ice or "snow ice" is only about half as strong as new clear ice.  Many factors other than thickness can cause ice to be unsafe.

I read on another site that the Semi-Trucks need 40 inches.

Just out run the crack.

Mopar.  There's your answer.
