Nothing like having idiots set up in the middle of your tipup field. I was rapidly reminded why I enjoy fishing from my boat way more than ice fishing. I hope the rain melts all the lakes so I can get the boat wet next weekend!
Well Mup.....when you have very few options for safe ice, and 40 people trying to fish (and claim stake) on 1 acre of a 550 acre impoundment, things get tight. I was out there....and very well might have been the one who walked through and set up in between your tip-ups. There were many groups of people out and tip ups everywhere, I could not tell who's was who's.......next time, have enough balls to come and say something. Big talker on the IE eh....little man on the ice eh.
If you were the one using plain wooden tipups....I very well could be the guy your looking for...and calling an idiot. Next time grow a sack and say something.....
When you set up tip ups 20-30 feet apart around many other people....expect that it is going to happen.
Lot's of people and good company, with the exception of this douch apparently.
Other than that, I had a blast. Friday night was great for small crappie.....Saturday mornign had an agressive 4" bluegill bite, Satuday night actually picked up a couple 8-9 inch crappie, missed a ski on a large spoon on Sunday morning. Talked to alot of people and everyone was just out enjoying time with their friends and family.....and some nice fish caught for Tamarack.
It was nice to get out and I only encountered one person who acted like a fool....it was a guy and his little kid (drove a white sunbird). Everyone else was parking appropriatly and he decided to just park right behind everyone. I about took his door off when I backed out. He was also screaming at his little boy cause he lost a cleat on the ice. Well Dad, teach him to put them on correctly and it wouldn't happen. He certainly got my vote for Dad of the year.....
