Ice Fishing
Name something that annoys you while Ice Fishing
Guys pulling up yo my shack in full size trucks, drilling too close, jaw spreaders on snaller northern, anyone who uses gaffs to land fish. (I can see maybe a lake trout or very large pike with a lot of ice... Maybe) but in my opinion if you can't grab and a fish you shouldn't be fishing period!
Yes. People leaving trash on the ice. Today I picked up 3 plastic caps from propane bottles. Also picked up the back cardboard from Ice jig packaging. And yes there were loads of cigarette butts all over. There was a fish contest on the lake yesterday. Parking lot was full. Why can't people take their trash with them?
Kind of what Popper said. Guys in your group that do not respect your equipment. Had a relative that was like that Mayhem Guy on T.V. If something got wrecked, he was probably involved. We even had a name for the incident..........yeah, you just got Garyed. This was years ago but he has moved away. Good guy otherwise, just didn't give your stuff the same respect that he did his stuff. Mrt.
Definitely people who leave garbage on the ice, especially cigarette butts. I'm a smoker but I dispose of all of my cigarettes after I'm done with them. How hard is it to throw in a can or in the bottom of your sled, or knock off the cherry and place in your pocket. The amount of butts I saw on a small 25 acre lake this weekend was pretty sad. I picked up what I could.
Snake - true dat!
I go fishing to get away...
I also hate the loud talkers. they want EVERYONE to hear them and how good they are. I should bring ear plugs.
The other day there was this fat azz slob, gut hanging out of his jacket, swearing like a sailor talking loud about how he's limited every day the last week. I just wanted to hit him in the face with my skimmer. So what you got a limit, so did every one else.
Having the motor on your 3 year old flasher take a dump, now having to pay another $100 to send it in and get it "fixed." I suppose I could carry on and watch the bottom of a lake sway back and forth by 1-2 ft. But it sure is annoying when your trying to distinguish the difference between two fish and your jig and that damn graph won't sit still... pissed to say the least.
People driving too fast.
people walking up to me and ask if I caught anything, i'm lying to you anyway.
Monkey see monkey do.
Other than that, I can tolerate pretty much.
Oh yes, the people with dull power augers. I can chop a hole with a ax faster than some of these power augers i see taking 3 minutes to dig a hole in 2 feet of ice.
