That is an amusing concept, and it sounds like a fun project. Why
not poke a hole in the ice and drop the rod in the water? If the
water is not too deep, send it to the bottom. It certainly will be
below the permanent moisture level!

Sounds like a silly question but is there any way to ground a small
battery based PV system serving a temporary fishing shack on the
middle of a frozen lake? Around here they call these 8' x 8' (or
larger) shacks "ice houses". One or more holes are augered through
the ice for fishing lines. Some of the shacks get remarkably fancy,
almost luxurious (in a guy kind of way). There is usually plenty of
beer and snacks. Sometimes fish, too. The shacks get set in place as
soon as the ice is solid (4-6" thick) and they may stay there for
several months. It's a home away from home for a lot of upper
midwest folks in the winter. Some like the idea of a small solar
powered battery system for light, CD player, TV, etc. There's no
earth around for hundreds of yards, even miles.
