do you see the flag?
« on: Jan 22, 2005, 04:41 AM »
During ice season seems when i lay down at night, especially sunday night after a weekend of fishing, i can see a flag. Wide awake eyes open or close i can see a flag in the blackness, almost like the image is burned into your eye. I thought i was just a bit crazy. But it came up with a buddy and he see the "flag" too. (not in the same bed....for those of you with a wanderin mind) So i thought id see if its just somethin in the water or do any of you others see it

Especially if I have a big trip coming up thats all I see. Then after a trip I will see flags at night. What wonderful dreams they are.

Me too I see orange flags everywhere - even when a flag is thrown in a football game it is orange. :tipup:  I always dial in my tip-ups for hours before I hit the ice.

I have copper bells on my tip-ups. When I'm out there fishing I'm always keeping an ear open for that ding........ding.....d ing....ding...ding..di ng.ding.ding.ding.ding ! And yes, when I'm not fishing and I hear a "ding" I'll stand at attention ready to run for the nearest flag!

"ding....ding"   "FLAG"

Do you hear the voices too?  LOL

The only time I don't see flags is when I go fishing!

I always see a 2 story shanty with a covered porch and a porch swing.  A cord of fire wood stacked neatly on the side.  A garage for a snowmachine and a workshop.  Some day... some day...

My eyesight is so poor I don't even see flags when I'm fishing. (except if they are close) if they are far and go off, I always have old eagle eyes (mackdaddy) with me just in case that happens ;D
if anybody from michigan will help me out with the lakes and stuff up here I'd really appreciate it since I'm new to the area.

I've got one for both fishing seasons.  In the winter, it depends on what kinda fishing I'm doing.  Tip-ups, I see flags at night.  Bobbers, that's all I see when I go to bed.  During the summer, on a long day's walleye fishing, I go to bed & feel myself rocking in the waves.  I must really have issues!  Anybody know of a FA (fishing annonymous) in the Twin Cities area?  I'm also looking for a psych. :blink:

Always wear clean underwear, cuz ya never know when the paramedics are gonna have to cut your pants off.
