Joe’s Moving Bob House
Joe is an inventor / tinkerer who lives in Wisconsin. He loves to ice fish, but sometimes the fish move around.
He thought he'd make a Bob House that moves with the fish.

What a wonderful idea! You are to be congratulated for your idea and following through and enjoying your winter months and the fishing.
I have never seen an ice covered lake. Not many around these parts of subtropical Queensland!!!!! But I reckon I would just about kill to have one of those if I lived in a cold part of the world!!!!
Thanks Russell! Joe did a marvelous job. I'd LOVE to have one too! I'll bet the other ice fisherman are VERY JEALOUS! He could even have some fun and put a ramming spear on the front and tip over other bob houses. Actually, that's a bit too aggressive!
What a smart guy......Tim you could partner with him and you could do the wood building of the shantys since you did a great job on your shed and he could do the rest and you guys could sell them for ice fishing.....I bet you would sell a lot......just an idea 🙂
