For folks in Minnesota and Wisconsin, ice fishing is a revered winter pastime.

I mean,
who can forget the movie Grumpy Old Men?

Here’s
something for anyone who’s ever ventured onto a frozen northern lake, used an
auger to drill a hole in the ice, and rigged their favorite tip-up to slam the
perch, walleye or tasty panfish.

The Bikini Ice-Fishing Team
is the marketing brainchild of the folks at Exotica Swimwear, based in the St.
Paul suburb of Mahtomedi, Minn., on the shores of White Bear Lake.

Not the
best-suited location in the universe to sell skimpy swimwear, you say? Well, by
all appearances, they’ve made the best of a tough market.

With the
additional sponsorship of a commercially produced fish house, a power auger
company and other ice-fishing equipment, the Bikini Ice-Fishing Team makes appearances at fishing shows and
tournaments across Wisconsin and Minnesota.

 And, from the looks
of things, we bet they’re a tough act to follow.

I'd make a comment about how cold it gets on the Minnesota ice, but it would be deleted. So I'll just say those bright bikinis are bound to bring in the fish--my tackle box is full of lures in the same color patterns.
