Lets recap the sin list according to the fine folks here at ice the shanty

[John_BZ]

>its no longer okay to pee on the ice

>we should be taken out back and beaten for forgetting our fishing licenses

>we cannot fish within gun range of another shanty

>you must adhere to the international set distance standard for tipup spread spacing

>we cannot use power augers on anything less than one fathom of ice

>and appearently we cannot go ice fishing unless we are completely insane

 

First and foremost i am not attacking anybody in particular just poking fun at the topics in general. But this is seriously getting out of hand. there is number of people who need to relax, replace the keyboard with a jigging rod and unwind for a spell.

[SPARKYICE]

it's easy to get caught up in it all.
if it wasn't for all the *%&^$ #&&*^% $@# &!!! 's out there who don't see things the way i do this would be a great site!

[Mooter]

I guess I will keep doing what I want to, when I want to, how I want to, and keep using my Beretta to enforce my decisions. 
You forgot to mention you cannot walk upon the ice unless it is 2 feet thick and are accompanied by a "ICE THICKNESS EXPERT"

Best to vent on the site, than on some stupid sole that breaks the basic tennets of Man Laws.
By venting on this site, the gomers get educated by reading how wrong they're past actions are, and then they have a chance to correct themselves.
I have learned a lot here from those venting, some I have agreed with, some not.
Great to have a place for healthy dialogue and debate.
Face to face I would waste too much prime fishing minutes to bother!

Kudos to IS

I apologize in advance for drinking the last beer out of the case we brought

If you don't have a license with you, isn't it poaching?  I keep mine in my tacklebox, so I never forget it.

Anyone taking a squat and dump on the ice should be beaten.  Ever try to dig that out of your boot tread?  Not something you want to track on the floor of the shanty either.

You mean you're admitting you stepped in it! LMAOROF

Wait a second don't all these things happen with a jigging rod in hand   Maybe I should move my post to the grumpy old men section...who knows...Thanks John_BZ for putting the humor into it. Its a good way to keep it all light.

Guilty...of both stepping in it and leaving it to be stepped in.  Also peed on my own shanty, so somehow, the wind nulified me peeing on the ice.

Okay now, thats number three! Lets hope we don't admit to #1!

You get one free pass. 

[fishermanjake]

one more rule to add....

>we cannot post comments that could posibly in any way be taken as offensive, controversial, or just plain stupid to anybody (other than peta) on any day that ends in 'Y'

I thought we were supposed to be writing our name , so someone else can see who was the culprit the peed on the ice    

[ice dawg]

At least on IS we have 1st amendment rights unlike other forums where they are locked. 

[Desperado]

if it wasn't for all the *%&^$ #&&*^% $@# &!!! 's out there who don't see things the way i do this would be a great site!

My wife says "When you're dealing with Des, you have two choices; you can agree with him OR you can be wrong"

Just in case your wife sees your name written in the snow, make sure it looks like YOUR handwriting 

[Mooter]

Just for fun try it left handed!

Sorry Buddy it takes 2 hands

[Pail Rider]

Sorry Buddy it takes 2 hands

And the snow is too cold to drag it through

And the snow is too cold to drag it through 

and deep too

[Desperado]

SOMETHING'S gettin' deep;
be careful not to step in it ! ! ! 
According to several posts here, it can be hard to extract from the soles of your boots

[Mooter]

Just make sure they're both yours

Why do you think the little lady goes fishing with me.  Doc says not to lift more than 10 pounds

[BojiHawk]

OK...this has spurred me into admitting a little accident last weekend:

Was sitting on the bucket, eating jerky all day.  Thought I had to fart...wrong!  Sharted ion my pantalones.  Not huge but enough to have to remove them, which I did.  I went out to check tip ups and I guess my dog didn't like them in the hut because when I got in, they were gone down the hole....they show up like a freaking musky on the vexilar.  So I moved about an hour later.  Some kid fishing with his dad later that evening caught them...I walked by and dear old dad had the needlenose working on getting a jig out of them.  I couldn't even look at the guy walking past.  Thank god I had on coveralls...pretty easy to name me as a "person of interest" in this crime considering I only had on one sock at this point.

Now that's a story worthy of it's own post.  Do I need to do it or are you capable?

[BojiHawk]

There is some shame on my behalf but you move it where you feel it brings the most joy to people.  I can give you this piece of advice:

Just because your bucket makes a fart super loud doesn't mean you have to continue to push your luck.  Talk about gambled and lost.  And of course I only told one person...but it was the wrong person to tell.  My shanty now includes my name, address, and the caption "Makin' Brownies" that was recently added.  Not cool...but funny as he11.

Brave man to admit that on here.  The thought police will come a knockin before you know it...
It might sound a little like this---
"You know, it's a fineable offense to gamble on a fart, lose that gamble and have your dog cover up evidence by way of putting it in the hole.  Was your dog leashed?  YOU SIR ARE AN UNETHICAL FISHERMAN!!!!  Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go harrangue the kid to make sure he's practicing catch and release with your underwear..."

What kills me is if anyone stops for one minute and thinks about all the "rules" to which we must conform, maybe then they would see that we don't need more "rules"--seems to be enough of it around here sometimes.

You know what...I consider myself fairly amusing if not at my own expense.  But this was 3 of the funniest lines I've read in a long time.

Luckily, your fishing licence was not in the pants pocket.  You could have been fined for pollution, littering, non-possession of a fishing licence.
Great story.  I know it took a lot of courage to tell it.

I would have asked for the pants back.

Yesterday, I was icefishing and when it was time to leave....it was "REALLY" time to leave.  I clenched tight, walked stiff legged to the van, drove home, ripped off my coat and snow pants and raced to the bathroom.  Got there just in time.  Luckily, I live only about 3 miles from the fishing site.

During the summer, you can always hide somewhere but on the ice with dozens of other fishermen scattered all over, "the big job" is impossible.

More women would go fishing and icefishing if they could pee as easily as men.
