Description
This
photograph
shows
a
group
of
ice
fishing
houses
(shanties)
, as
well
as a
few
vehicles
, on a
portion
of
Lake
Erie
.
Though
a
scene
similar
to this
could
be
found
in
countless
places
in
Ohio
during
the
winter
, this was
most
likely
in the
area
of
Sandusky
Bay
and the
Lake
Erie
Islands
, as
it
was
grouped
with
other
photographs
from that
area
.
Neuman
Boat
Dock
offers
the
best
vantage
point
for
viewing
the
water
front
and
Sandusky
Bay
.
It
was
located
at the
foot
of
Columbus
Avenue
, in
Sandusky
,
Ohio
, and was a
particularly
popular
place
in
winter
, with
skaters
,
ice
sailers
and
fishing
shanties
all
vying
for a
piece
of the
ice
.
Ice
fishing
is
the
practice
of
catching
fish
with
lines
and
fish
hooks
or
spears
through
an
opening
in the
ice
on a
frozen
body
of
water
.
Ice
anglers
may
sit
on a
stool
in the
open
on a
frozen
lake
, or in a
heated
cabin
on the
ice
,
some
with
bunks
and
amenities
.
Fisherman
walk
onto the
ice
with
sleds
made
of
plastic
or
wood
with
equipment
. They
drill
holes
with
hand
augers
or
power
augers
with a
motor
that
turns
the
auger
or
drill
.
Many
fishermen
will
go
out
with
2.5
inches
of
good
ice
for
walking
, but the
recommended
is
4
inches
,
5–6
inches
for
Sleds
(Snow
Machines
,
Snowmobiles)
7–12
for
light
cars
and
14–16
inches
for
full
sized
trucks
.
Care
must
be
taken
,
because
sometimes
ice
will not
form
in
areas
with
swift
currents
,
leaving
open
areas
which
freeze
with
much
thinner
ice
. On the
Great
Lakes
,
off-shore
winds
can
break
off
miles-wide
pans
of
ice
stranding
large
numbers
of
fishermen
. In
Ohio
,
ice
fishing
usually
starts
mid-January
and
ends
in
early
March
, but this
greatly
depends
on the
weather
. The
Lake
Erie
Islands
are a
chain
of
archipelagic
islands
in
Lake
Erie
.
Most
islands
that are
large
enough
are
popular
tourist
attractions
with
car
ferries
running
from the
mainland
and
between
some
islands
and
some
small
airports
and
numerous
private
marinas
offering
other
ways
to
reach
the
islands
.
