Hey buckshot , If I get my Trailer fixed today or tomorrow I will be at the CONESUS derby with my wheeler then I'll fish with you guys and all the other good stuff.

STILL NO WORD ON THE OWNER OF THE HUT, SOMEONE MUST KNOW HIM.

hardwaterwizard,
I just tried calling Ted Newman at Mack's and ask him if anyone has stopped at his shop to ask if anyone found a Fish Trap and got no answer. If whomever lost it doesn't visit this site they will more than likely contact Ted and ask him at some point.
Ted's number is 585-237-5983. Maybe someone else can try calling him later to check.

well..... had to try

That's great of you to post it on here. You truely are one of the people that make this a great sport!!! You may come heat up and grab a cold beer in my hut anytime!!!

I'm surprised that the owners name isn't on the shack , unless it's brand new. Most states have the requirement of the owners name and add. on it , don't they? Here in IN they do , and i think IL is the same way. Or do you guys there in the Nor-East do things differently?

Great of you to report it. It could be the person who lost the tent has my personality. i.e. bad day on the ice and out it goes. But I would have put it in the back yard and gave it a VIKING FUNERAL {spelling}
with all my other stuff.............. Funny , my wife still can't figure out why I need to go to the sport store every week. LOL

Nice to see there are still honest people out there.
I too have had my boat cleaned out one night.

Nail a sign up on a tree on the road you found it on. If it fell out of my truck, I'd go back lookin for it..........

the Wizard · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 22, 2004, 10:32 PM »

Thats not a bad idea OLD FART but there is no trees in that general area If I put it in the local paper it will get claimed I'll betcha.

Put a notice at the local bait shop. His next stop is to go back to the bait store and b**** how he lost his trap.

Here in Mass & NY the name has to appear ONLY on perminant shantys. It seems the one that was found is portable.

the Wizard · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 23, 2004, 02:20 PM »

Yes, it is a portable a [fish trap] solo. It is in good shape with no name on it ,that I found any way. I went to the local bait shop and left a note w/my phone no. today.

Please email me at [email protected] so we can contact you personally to see if it's mine.

THE hut has been returned to its rightful owner thanks to everyone at ICESHANTY and TED AT MACKS, now it would be nice to locate the guys auger and tackle, that was stolen from his drive way along with the hut.

Nice job wizard!!!
It was great to meet you at Conesus on Saturday. There is always room at my campfire for an honest and decent man such as you.

BuckShotJon · « **Reply #24 on:** Jan 26, 2004, 10:47 AM »

Nicve job hardwater, was also great meeting you at the party, anytime you wanna fish together let me know, people like yourself I like to call friends.

the Wizard · « **Reply #25 on:** Jan 26, 2004, 10:17 PM »

Thanks everyone ,but I'd like to think you guys would have done the same. The gentleman and his wife came tonight and picked up the hut, in return they gave me a one year membership to the national wild turkey fed. and tickets to the anual banquet in april.

BuckShotJon · « **Reply #26 on:** Jan 27, 2004, 12:17 PM »

Very Nice Hardwater!

Hopefully the guy can get some of his other stuff back, sounds like it was stolen? If so maybe we can all keep a eye out if someone decides to "sell some stuff cheap on the ice"

HardWaterWizard....... ...Your a credit to the sport! I wish it was you who picked up my auger last year. I had one too many sips of brandy and I left it lying along side of my car when I left Long Point last January.

Big Johnny Ice · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 27, 2004, 03:59 PM »

I would like to mention that Hardwaterwizard helped me get out of a ditch a week before. If it wasn't for him and another nice fellow icefisherman, I would have had a long night and a hefty towing bill. Thanks again.......

Fat Boy · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 27, 2004, 04:53 PM »

I'm very touched. You're a good person, HWW. A-one in my book! I'm sure that there are a lot of guys/gals on this site that also fit that description! That's why I like it here...
