Lol some people might think were joking.... There is a beer can reef!!! There's man made reefs in the ocean submerged tanks, ships, vehicles, whatever has mass. Just so happens in Round lake it's beer cans. Rico did a fine job of creating it I'm guessing about 24 cases worth it's massive!!!
any of you indiana guys ever fished Bass Lake in Starke County?? I have a cottage there but have never ice fished their due to the fact the cottage is a summer cottage with no heat or working water in the winter...however, I want to make a trip their this winter if its worth it...let me know
You know I am not entirely sure if it even has a electricity in the winter...it is a family cottage so my cheap uncles may shut that off too just to not have to pay for it.
Just the thought of a "beer can reef" makes me sick! Bring it with you, take it with you when you leave...
Was thinking the same thing but did not want to steer the thread down a different path.
My intent is nothing more than, what I said... ANYBODY throwing cans down a hole should re-evaluate their method of trash disposal, and there isn't one good reason for it no matter how you justify it in your own mind... Trust me.
Did I bring up the beer can reef!? Anyway to be honest, I wish I never had the opportunity to comment, and hopefully won't have the opportunity to bring it up in the future, because no more cans will go down the hole.
No you didn't and it aint your neck of the woods anyway. But you had to throw in something. I aint a diplomat, but I smell arrogance. Just ice fish the Indy area and keep catching crappie on the tour.
So by your standards because there is pollution caused by farms or factories it is ok for you or others to throw their trash down the hole and into public waters? I am sure the DNR would agree with you that is OK because there are 'bigger fish to fry' than a few cases of empty beer cans. You smell arrogance? I smell ignorance. Doesn't matter if you live in angola, valpo, evansville, indy, warsaw or on the shores of round lake, every drop of that water is owned by all of us. Is dumping cans in the bottom of the lakes something else you gramps and dad taught you?
Say what?! LMAO... I can't even respond to that... In the sprit of Monday Night Football, this deserves a C'mon man!
No Waxie. You don't own every drop of water. I do what I do on my property and don't give a rat's arsz what anybody's opinion is concerning it. You want me to tell you how to manage yours? I have plenty of opinions on what you can do better. Better think a little bit. Especially when it concerns my family. I take offense to that last sentence.
I think I may of sold you a couple Coleman lanterns from craigslist. I don't remember your name. Thought you said you live in Chicago. Love this lake for eyes and crappie. Also good numbers of cats, gills and perch. Oh, I almost forgot the bass PHEW.
I said PUBLIC waters. Read again. I don't think Round lake (and others) is/are on your property. I don't care how you trash your own property. You take offense to a question? Why? You are on here talking all the time about what your dad and gramps taught you, and most of the stories are great to hear, so the last sentence was a legitmate question. I highly doubt your dad or gramps taught you to dump your trash in public waters, so why do it? Most old time outdoorsman would roll over in their grave if they saw you or others dumping trash down their ice holes because you are too lazy to cart it off. Would love to hear your opinions of what I can do better. There might be something I can use in there.
Dad, Grandpa, Uncle Max, nor Uncle Bo dumped cans down their holes. Nor did any of them teach me to do that. If Doug and Phil have nothing better to do than hi-jack threads then so be it. I expect better out of you.
