A Fishing Shanty is a small, often temporary structure used by fishermen to store gear, prepare bait, and sometimes rest while out on the water. These shanties are typically found near lakes, rivers, or coastal areas and are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions. They can be made from wood, metal, or other durable materials. Many fishing shanties are equipped with basic amenities like benches, tables, and heating sources for warmth during cold months. Some fishermen use them for ice fishing, where they set up on frozen lakes, while others may use them during open water seasons. The shanty serves as a practical space for those engaged in the sport of fishing.
