I like to sit in my mosquito-netting shanty while blaring a jungle sound effects tape while eating my waxies...

WIND... would have to be my worst enemy on the ice, he never leaves you alone somedays, and freezes your tip-ups into the holes, blows your brand new jigging bucket seat away in the first 5 minutes of it's first trip.. a close second is inconsiderate people, whether it be the guy on his snowmobile weaving through your trapline like he was a shalom skier, a loose dog toppling traps with no owner around, or a spot invaders that isn't friendly...etc......

im with lefty. any wind up here makes for a ruined day. i can handle it down to 0 untill a light wind starts to blow. then its all over. if i get people that are annoying or inconsiderate near me i pull out my .38 and start target practicing. they either shut up or back off or both. does the trick.

Wind is the one thing I hate the most. Yeah rain is bad but I usually don't go out on the ice when it's raining.

I, didn't mean to blame snowmobiles or four wheelers in general. 95% of the pepole on any given public area respect each other, and their form of recreation! It's the other 5% or most likely less, thats the problem!

Guys that wine about snowmobiles and then drive their truck out onto the ice and get stuck.or they spend all day ripping holes with their loud power auger.

a)Friends that you take out icefishing, and then after an hour, they tell you that they are leaving go see their in-laws ... never again.
b)idiots racing around in their "rice burners" doing 360s on the ice
c) friends who like to "competative fish" ...

TRASH ON THE ICE FROM FISHERMEN!!!!!!!!

I could care less about most of the items on the list.
But would not like someone to fish a string of hole I cut and have covered.
I like to hole hop if fishing gets slow.
I keep the area small and not on prime structure.
Sometime next to a tip up (walleye fishing).

Seagull's! Not, the wild one's! The gull's left-over after the tourist's leave, their diving for a free meal, (because their so cute), when you walk out the door!

The visitor's are gone with the popcorn, and the really dumb gull's die somewhere! It's, really sad sometimes.

Wind and meteoroligists! I have never heard a weather forcaster or news reporter be happy about cold or snow. They always complain and it ticks me off to listen to them. Oh ya, then it's toooooo hot for them, sheesh pick a temperature and stick with it! Whew-rant done.

Wind. 'nuff said already.

Rain. I hate eroding ice and whirlpools in my holes.

Bubbleheads that encroach on you.

As brujharr said 5% of snowmobilers ruin the reputation of the other snowmobilers and the same thing goes for ice fishermen.
1. The guy who craps down his jigging hole or dumps trash.
2. The guy who leaves trash at the landing (coffee cups, plastic wrappers soda bottles)
3. The guy that chops fire wood on someone elses land.
4. The guy who takes his truck on the ice and starts doing donuts runs over your traps and smashes into your ice shack just when you finally get that big one to bite.

I could care less about people getting close as long as their not obnoxiously loud and considerate. One year my buddies brother put his shack out then the next day some jerk put his 10 feet away and they were the only 3 shacks for miles. So when he found the shack unlocked he dropped a coil down one of their holes inside. The shack was moved a good distance away quickly. Then 3 years later at the same spot, some people felt the need to drill holes everywhere around our shack all day. Then the next day we weren't there but they were and they drilled a hole a foot in front of our door.

Then last year our first time out we were fishing the same spot out shack had been the past few years and a family felt the need to drill a million holes around us, we were fishing outside, then take the kids for snowmobile rides in circles around us for a couple hours. I didn't see them catch one fish though while i caught a few. It made my day.

Living in Central Saskatchewan, I would have to say wind and extreme cold(-25C) is probably by biggest enemy. I usually never have to put up with anything else on the list.

Iv'e never had a problem with wild dogs, however I did have a lone Coyote come right up to me one time. It didn't attack me or anything, but it didn't keep it's distance either. It was a weekday and I was the only one on the lake and it probably came within 10 maybe 15 feet from me. I think it was hopeing I was gonna catch some fish and feed it. I never did catch anything that day.

I get annoyed when I go to a nice location and see guys urinating all over the ice.

when I'm out on the ice.....nothing bothers me

MikeThePike · « **Reply #54 on:** Oct 13, 2006, 07:40 AM »

Luckily for me its illegal to drive vehicles on the ice here in PA so I don't have to put up with the snowmobiles. Ask anyone who attended the NJ get together 2 serasons ago how bad they were though....They were going full speed right through a ton of people and came way too close for comfort to many guys just out having some fun.

Lack of ice and the guys who walk out to me and ask if the ice is safe or not are tied for first.

When someone asks me if the ice is safe, I reply "Nope, but it sure is cold". Stupid question deserves a stupid answer.
