Ice-fishing pet peeves

[Lee Borgersen]

 

Pet peeves: Those particularly annoying things that get under your skin no matter how hard you try and ignore ‘em. Ice fishing fans polled were polled to find out their biggest ice-fishing pet peeves and compiled them into one big-nasty list.

       Feel Free To Add To the List


1. Garbage left on the ice. If you bring it out, bring it back with you! How hard is that?

2. Losing a fish after it gets wrapped up in the transducer.

3. Snowmobiles are the jet skis of ice fishing. Are they trying to run over your tip-up?

4. Sunflower seeds in my hole.

5. When people set up right on top of you, even though there’s a whole lake.


6. People complaining about you being set up too close.

7. Snake northerns, ‘nuff said.

8. People who keep every fish they catch regardless of size.

9. Trying to re-tie with frozen fingers.

10. The guy that’s first to call you for a hot spot, but as soon as he finds fish it’s a secret.


11. People leaving cigarette butts on the ice.

12.  Seeing small little lakes posted all over Facebook.

13. When your tip-up gets frozen in the hole.

14.  People that purposely waste fish — if you don’t want it,  put it back!

15. Running out of propane.


16. Wind!

17. Driving too fast on the ice — slow down!

18. How most anglers need the internet to find hot spots. Seems long gone are the days of finding your own fish.

19. When people start fishing before everything is set up and don’t offer to help.

20. Marking fish, but can’t get ‘em to bite.


21. People drilling holes during prime time.

22. People who don’t read the rules and regs, and instead ask others online. Even worse are the ones who give answers having never read ‘em either.

23. Buddies that are retired and say they can’t go fishing because they have too much to do.

24. People posting pics of fish and telling everyone exactly where they were caught.

25. When there’s an ice road plowed right over your waypoint.


26. Cleaning frozen fish.

27. When someone thinks you catch the same exact fish over and over: “Must be the same one you caught before,” or, “that’s the one I caught.”

28. Running out of beer.

29. Women hanging all over me once they find out I’m an ice fisherman….

30. Not getting to go!

  Great list.

Add:

And when you decide you CAN'T wait a second longer, you HAVE  TO  poop NOW, and yer bobber goes down the hole and disappears...

You hear "huh?" and get that blank stare from yer buddy when yer all set up, and say "You've got the minnows, right?"

Cookie may have a few to add after this weekend!!!

being a half mile or more from anyone, and waking up to a city around you.

Having yer buddy tell ya after ya get there..."The wife says I have to be back by noon on Sunday"......

That same buddy, when ya suggest taking running into "town" for a few cold ones and a bite to eat..."I didn't bring any money"...

It's kinda annoying, but I'm the opposite of rebs last paragraph.  I bring food and all on the ice so I don't miss the evening bite unlike lots I've fished with that have to go to the bar, nuttin wrong with that if that's your thing.  My biggest pet peeve is the people that need to break into the perms on the lake, a sheriff flat out told me to leave the door unlocked....really?

[Gunner55]

Gotta admit, leaving their trash is on the top of my list. A few more there like #'s 8,11, & 14 but they don't grind on me as bad as #1

[LPS]

#1 to me is when someone sets up near me, winter or summer.....

1.  For me is getting work phone calls while fishing.

Here's my pet peeve from another site I posted this morning about how close is too close.


I moved my house in a hurry late last week and thought I could do it with Just a GPS(like I said, I was in a hurry). Well it didn't work, when  I drilled my first 2 holes and cleaned them out I was in No Mans Land in 8 feet of water. It was my own stupidity but Oh Well. I went out yesterday to move it again and watch the football game. I had 4 portables within 15-20 feet of my house. One guy had a 4 wheeler and a snowmobile so his 6 kids could take turns doing brodies and racing between houses. The other group was playing football with a dog that barked on every toss. I had to ask the guy in front of me to move just so I could hook up to my house to move it which he grumbled and did. Now, do you guys that defend these dumbasses really think they came that close because I had the spot on the spot blocked off?

The very next guy posted-
They must have thought so. What difference does it make "why" they were fishing where they were?They had the same right to be there as you did.


It's all about rights now, no more etiquette or courtesy.
