I think it was Bernie that fell through!!!
Haha best one yet!
He's on the bottom now
Hahaha you guys are great. Fred you should see some of the people that try to ice fish that lake. Sometimes I wonder if they are trying to kill themselves. It's not just ice season, I got stuck at the launch while some guy took 35 mins to get his pleasure boat on the trailer. Water temp 51 and the guy is swimming around the trailer trying to get the boat on straight....
i figure with all the bs threads why not have 1 for the beloved king. should be about 2 months till we start to get some king ice.....man i can't wait
Go end of season. You want the day the lake residents pull their boat the 1x a year. Magical. I think there was 10 boats behind me waiting.
We will need to meet up Jamie. Do the multiple boat thing. I wasn't aware of how easy it was to get a "sticker" and went more last year than I ever had. Always passed inspection too.
Do u remember when u were brand new? If u werent lucky enough to have someone to show u the ropes , did u try it out on your own? How did you treat it safely? How did you know if you could go out? I remember asking a bunch of questions on this forum about lake trout fishing and where to go and got a whole lot of BS responses from a bunch of good old boys that were too good for my beginner questions. Thanks to a few old timers who passed on the torch , i got wise faster than if i was on my own. My question is did this guy know what he was doing at all? Was he a skilled fisherman pushing his luck or just an inexperienced soul that may have learned about ice safety the hard way? Maybe he came fromJersey and drove past schroon and saw 50 ppl on the ice and said hey lets try Lg. I just think that this dudes actions were horribly ill informed and while he did risk lives of safety personnel, he might not have intended it to unfold like this. Lets be thankful we know better and that it wasnt us , but share some Knowledge to everyone you can.
You can't teach someone self preservation....and I've seen people with experience (including myself) do some ridiculously stupid sh*t on the ice. You live and learn and if someone wants to call you an idiot then so be it. I've been an idoit, we all have. No need to come to anyone's defense on that...
This was a pretty egregious misstep I hope to fish lg Friday if the ice tells my spud bar its safe. Spud bar, floatation suit, picks, ropes, friends Gotta be smart if you're gonna be dumb
Yep....and if they go though and require rescue and survive, revoke their fishing license a few years. Others have to risk THEIR own lives rescuing these people.
How's Harris bay looking?
Hey Neil...think about this for a second. No one is forced to risk their lives. Your comments can be listed under the garbage civilians say category. First responders, military personal choose a life of helping others knowing damn well what the risks of the profession are. It's a choice and a choice all of them selflessly make. I have never known one to get all butthurt like you because someone had a bad day and needed their help They are happy and thankful they saved a life. They live for it and again I'll repeat its a choice. Somewhere in this world people like you became emboldened to make comments like this not realizing that those professionals really enjoy saving lives so they made a career of it. Smh....
