The "friends" who call you up all week making plans to fish, then don't show up when its time to go. Got a couple who will then call mid day wanting to know if your catching any.
Believe it or not. The most annoying was this guy that had walked out on the ice during a wind storm and I was the only fisherman on the ice. And he started preaching to me about God. Only that could happen to me.
People that want everyone to tell them where the Safe ice is . You know the one ones that don't want to get out of the house and do there own home work to find good ice . And most of the time these people want you to tell them where the hot bite is too .
Ex-wives that want you to teach their new husbands how to ice fish so he can take your kids out-I just hope he can swim!!!
Or the people who think its funny you wont go out on (insert any number) inches of ice. I personally wont fish on less than 4", and that's not far from shore. So when when the ice is 2.5" and doesn't crack when you stand on it, don't try to make me the bad guy when I turn down your invite to fish 2 miles down the shore. I also won't risk my life driving on questionable ice, I couldn't care less about my truck (but I would hate to pay someone to get it out). When all you see is quads out, you are going to have to walk with me.Possibly the best ice fishing advice I ever got from my dad, "don't be the first one to drive out."
People who give advice or opinions on products they dont own and have never used...And are adamant about it even with people who have/us the product.. ugh...
PFF I'd tell her to pound it!
I wouldn't ever let my kids go out on the ice with a greenhorn.....no matter who he was...or wasn't! Just my $.02.
I also gave him a very dull 8 inch hand auger.
When its only 6:34 and out of candy to give out to kids.
