Just curious about everyone else's misfortunes because over the weekend, I lost a pair of Leupold binoculars down through the ice. Tried for 2 hours to snag them with a bunch of trebles, but no luck (it was too cloudy and deep to see). Can anyone else make me feel better about it?

Not down the hole but I seem to have lost my cell phone this weekend on the ice.

Unfortunately, I'm not certified in SCUBA and I'd say 25' is a little deep to snorkel. Guess I know where my tax refund is going.

I have set a spud to a watery grave

My buddy sent his cellphone down a hole the hard way
He dropped it on the ice, went to pick it up, slipped and kicked it (SCORE) right down a hole in 50+ feet of water

lol I have been fortunate so far, the worst ive done is knocked off the flag to my tip up, bounced on the ice, and zoom right down the hole

JackAttack · « **Reply #6 on:** Feb 19, 2007, 11:38 AM »

My tip up flag did me the favor of nosediving straight into the hole without the bounce this weekend.

It seems to me that everything one drops on the ice or in a shack goes down the hole. Almost like the hole is a magnet, i've lost everything from baits, CLEANED FISH, knives, walkie talkies, lures and other goodies!!

MuskyHunter · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 19, 2007, 02:00 PM »

I've lost sounders, lighters, my pipe, usually whatever I forget and leave in my top pocket.

If you think you can find the same hole again, why not pick up a $99.00 camera from harbor freight and go get those binocs with a treble hook and a weight. I'm sure they were more expensive than $99.00 and then you'll have a camera also.

esox13 · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 19, 2007, 04:08 PM »

an unattended jig pole, numerous depth finders, a jaw spreader, pliers, sun glasses, skimmer, tongs (for turning brats), tip-up light, and a mini mag flash light.

I did catch a line with a pole and 12" perch that a guy had just lost. He was happy to get both back.

My camera went swimming last weekend when I reached down to ice a fish for the girlfriend. She said she never saw me move that fast when I dove after it! All the way to my shoulder and caught the little wrist strap by my pinky!!!! Took it apart and dried it out and it still works!!

sad thing is i enjoyed it

Good news people. An open bottle of Jack Daniels, minus the one drink you took will slid down the hole, but slow enough so your typical 58 year old male fishing buddy can make the dive and the save! Now why can't that same guy grab that 10 lb walleye that tore off?

TMBWarriors · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 19, 2007, 07:05 PM »

Went walleye fishing one morning real early and got all set up with 2 poles and started to jig,Bang fish on reeled him in about 7 pounder,couple Min's later,Bang caught another.Then my phone rings its my wife,Bang i had another fish-on and i told her i will call you back i have a fish-on and i can"t talk .As i was fighting the fish and putting my phone in my pocket i lost the fish and bent over in deep deep disappointment my cell phone goes swish right down the hole and it must of rang again because the fish quit biting.When i got home i told my wife and she laughed.She also told everyone to give me a call if they want to talk to the walleyes.HA HA HA

>:(NOW I HAVE INSURANCE JUST IN CASE

Couple years later she lost my Motorola talkabout down the hole.Guess what she bought me a new Rhino 120!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A week ago Sat. I was setting up to fish a pond in southern Iowa, as I was drilling my third hole the bolt that holds the auger to the power head flew out and my auger twirled right on down the hole, I could see it with the Aquq-Vu but didn't have any thing to snag it with. Wed. or Thurs. I'm heading back down,3 1/2 hour drive, and try to get it. I ordered a 150# retrieval magnet but it hasn't came yet so I'm putting together a pole with a cable loop on the end to try to get it. All I could do was stand there with the power head running and watch it go.

It was in about 25' of water and it's a pretty cloudy lake. Not sure that I could see them anyway. Wouldn't I need a light too? How well do those cameras really work?
