Geeez! Now everyone's gonna know!  Question is: Did that figure in when I put it somewhere, forgot it somewhere or went to look for it?

All of the ABOVE!!!

It's OK... I don't mind being a



Lord knows I dish out my share

social media spot beggars and freeloaders.   I love helping people get on fish without specifically drawing them a map but am pretty generous with information.  But cripes..some people don't want to do any work for themselves. 

and even on the ice.  we don't have huge bodies of water all over, just mostly borrow pits, and smaller local lakes, and the river backwaters.   when i'm on a 10 acre body of water all by myself and watch other people just make their way over to fish 5' from me.  I just kind of giggle.  It no longer bothers me like it did whant i was younger but is still comical.

I guess living in NW Iowa it'd be wind, but what I also hate are the people in my area who marks spots publicly on Navionics. Mark your own spots locally on your phone and don't tell the world.

I have to agree with the slush comments.  Major pain in the rear to get around and to keep the kid dry and happy.

Trash on the ice would be a close second.

Driving my 3/4 ton diesel pickup out on 24" of ice on the Mississippi and then moving on to the next spot only to stumble on to 3" of ice along the way.

Slush, especially DEEP slush that is over my Sorels. We had lots of it last year and made things miserable and untenable.

Hoping for better days this year.

Yup, #1 most miserable scenario on the ice is slush.

 Don't have to deal with slush as much here as some of you guys, but it does suck. Years ago night fishing I feel in deep slush my partner thought I went threw the ice. It ended fishing.

That one year when it snowed heavily before the lakes frozen up.  I went to upper red lake to fish, cuz the crappie boom was then.  Went to drill a spot.  Thought that the deep snow was just deep.  Dropped the lure down, funny it didn't go down very far.  started to scoop up the slush.  Was scooping slush for like 20 minutes.  Hmmm that's a bit too much, slush from out of one hole.  Kept scooping out more and more slush.

Then only then, realized.  That there's such a thing as a slush pocket, wind blown under the ice.  Dropped the ducer, turn up the gain and...it was showing a cloud of slush extending another 6+ feet deep.  Dropped the whole ducer cord length down the hole and then soft thump into slush pocket.  Slush pocket confirmed.  Biggest slush cloud underwater ever!
