What Have You Lost While On Ice??
« on: Dec 01, 2008, 09:16 PM »
I asked Earlier what you guys have found while fishing, But what have you guys forgotten or lost while fishing??  One time I forgot a small pile of gills I left in a snow pile, but I went back to the lake to pick 'em up.  My buddy lost 2 tip-ups under the snow after a snowstorm, but we found 'em that night once the flags got tripped.

 I found a pretty nice ice dipper, and lost that same ice dipper on the same lake roughly in the same spot I found it about 10 years later, talk about ironey. oh well  got my $'s worth, and now I am sure some other lucky person has a nice ice dipper.

A few years back during the Winni Derby. I had my 4 man portable destroyed by heavy winds. :-[

I've also lost a couple cell phones over the years that have fallen out of a pocket while running to flags   :-\ ( got wet/broke )

one morning last year  my buddy lost his hut out of the back of truck (Rover Flip 2 man) gas auger was on top. made amess of the highway all his gear was inside the hut. make sure when transporting  flip portables you have a cover for them or it it will open up, and fly like a kite. he had bunges on it, just stretched em .  he learned big lesson, my eskimo has cover and never had a problem. lost a scoop down my buddies honey hole, throwing  back and forth . lost a rod and reel, to something large.

Lost the foam cover on my bucket lid in high winds....and a whole spool of dacron to something I can only imagine was rather large.  Was SORELY tempted to reach in and grab it, but I knew there wouldn't have been time to take my coat off, as it was disappearing quickly down the hole, and I didn't want to soak my arm.  Instead I ran for my gaff hoping I could hook the spool, but it was gone when I got back.  To this day I regret the choice to keep my arm dry.  :(

Several skimmers (I now just get the cheap serving spoons with holes in them for under a buck!), a few lighters, several jigs (mostly to big fish), a couple Schooley rods, nothing really huge and the fun on the ice always compensated for it.

Almost lost a leg and some nuts down a 10" hole.  Good thing they're attached well.  Soaking wet but still kept them intact.

Not to much (knock on wood).  The usual needle nose pliers, depth finders and jaw spreader.  Been pretty lucky!!

I had one of those boga lip grabbers.  During open water I went to grab my buddies pike ( about 34 " ) and he thrashed and broke the line with the lip gripper still attached!!!! I wonder it the gripper came out or he's swimmin around with it stuck to his jaw.

Also during openwater I was casting a big bobber and shiner for some pike, I went to set the hook on a fish and the line was wrapped around the rod tip. The line busted but I could see the bobber swimming around the lake all day. We caught up to the bobber and It turned out to be a small pike not big enough to pull the bobber under water!!
