Count me in. Always try to pick up on way in at end of day.

RG, can I make a suggestion that we all make an effort to have something that floats on 50 feet of line on the outside of shack. I have a boat fender that I am painting orange that will be hanging from my auger outside fishtrap. If anyone has a better idea, let me know.

Always have and always will. I dont even leave a butt on the ice. If I see somebody drop it I will say something. It just takes 1 slob to ruin it.

I promise...

I promise! (from WI) This is "just how I roll!" Camping, Backpacking, Hunting, Open Water, and (my favorite) Ice fishing!

I promice to have a bag with me on the ice at all times and not only pick up after myself, but the rest of the people that feel the need to go home with less stuff than they got there with.

I do it everyday I'm a Head Custodian in a school district it's a shame people are so irresponsible. The Outdoors are to be used not abused !! Don't be a jerk !!!

I also take the pledge to take a garbage bag out on the ice. As others too have said here, I routinely pick up junk at boat launches, stream sides and even along the 2 mile country road that I live on. Amazing at the number of ignorant "sportsmen" out there....

I promise to pick up after my self and others with a garbage bag,and if I happen to see the culprit that left garbage behind,I then will extrapulate from my pocket an empty garbage bag. With said garbage bag, I will place over the mindless skull of the perpetrator and have them breathe in heavily.

Bravo! Let's keep it clean out there. I already have left 2 anchors and 1 prop littering the bottom! I'd pay to get those back!

eyesfishing · « **Reply #46 on:** Nov 01, 2010, 08:39 PM »

I definitely do. Not hard to pledge for something I do already.

Salmon_Run · « **Reply #47 on:** Nov 02, 2010, 09:24 AM »

I promise! Every year the same old problems happen: trash and people not respecting private lands....

All it takes is one SLOB to spoil it for all of us.....

I too will make an effort to pick up after others. My plan for this year is what I like to call "The Forced Trash Pickup Initiative". Basically, this is how it works:

1) I see someone throw their garbage on the ground.
2) I approach said person...
3) I ask them to please pick up the trash and dispose of it in a responsible, outdoorsman type way.
4) They either honor this request in which case I thank them and leave, or they laugh and look like an idiot.
5) (Assuming they laughed, I remove Springfield 1911 A-1 .45 ACP and demand they pick up the trash or their trophy **insert species fish here** will receive a thorough tenderizing.
6)Watch as the terrified "sportsman" removes his trash, his "trophy" fish, and himself from the ice. Leaving a yellow and or brown trail behind him.
7) Laugh like a crazy icefisherman and continue my lovely day of freezing cold wind and just being outside in all of its glory. 8)

Take only perch, leave only holes.

I also vow to drill holes for others who don't have a power auger when the ice gets deep. Last year a guy started in on 20 + inch ice with a hand auger and we came over and hooked him up. As we were leaving I heard him say to his son "See, I told you fishermen were good people." You know the kid will remember that. And it's true.

ihavethetools · « **Reply #58 on:** Nov 03, 2010, 04:29 PM »

I'm in also. Nothing worse than being able to tell where someone was fishing by the garbage they left !!!

tubby67 · « **Reply #59 on:** Nov 03, 2010, 06:10 PM »

I promise to take a garbage bag on every trip and to pick up any garbage that I see..
