Heard a couple guys went throught the ice near the old ship on Saturday. I'm taking up a collection to buy some thermometers for our less intelligent brethren. Any takers? Hope someone's house didn't burn to the ground while these guys were getting pulled out by the FD.

I think its funny how in every post you read about someone going through the ice.....teh reaction is usually ridicule. (if they end up not getting hurt or killed that is). Someone survives a bear attack........ya usually dont hear "Man what a dumb#ss" lol. I dunno, i just think its pretty funnny how heartless people are when we have to use our money to save a life. Dont get me wrong, i agree to a point, its like having to spend money on those idiots who like to base jump off monuments and get stuck in the power wires. But maybe these guys seriously just dont know the behavior of ice and rain lol, im usually willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

I dont buy it. If you are on sketchy ice you have serious problems in the noggin! Did they test it with a spud bar? I doubt it. It may sound heartless but even though NO ice is 100% safe, there are ways to approach 100% buy using the tools of the trade. If a spud pokes through with one easy poke, you should not be on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The breed that fishes the harbor is low class and uninformed. Sorry for the generalization but when you see that much crap on the ice goes to show their ability to test the ice and be INFORED about conditions.

Man where darwin when ya need em?

Got some goofy looks from the people on cuba but there was 10 inches out there.
Wonder how they will look to see me getting on the ice with waders and a life vest???

I usually think "glad it wasn't me" when I hear a story about someone going through, but a lot of times it sounds like they were on ice conditions that I would never attempt. I support other ice fishermen, and have to sympathize when they have an ordeal, but sometimes I question the common sense factor as well. There is definitely a point where you have to say "They were wrong to be out there." I don't know the specific conditions on any of the recent incidents, I'm speaking from previous years. If you know anybody who's planning some risky fishing here at the end of the season, try to talk some sense into them. If nothing else, get them to carry some basic safety gear. They should be doing that anyway.

who the the heck are you it doesnt matter if these poeple are low class or high class know one should have the right to judge another (let just say that they got out alright and maybe they just dont have the knowledge of good ice or bad )sorry if i come across harsh but it p me off whenone judges another ,bill

C'mon Buckski, I didn't mean to get that response out of this thread. I've been to SBH on occassion when I want to just get out and I haven't done my homework on other water bodies. I too have have noticed the trash (and posted my displeasure) on the ice. Because of that I won't go back. To a lesser extent I've seen blowing trash almost everywhere I've been. Its very disappointing. If we all did what we logically should do on the ice you would see half as many topics on this forum for one thing.

"I agree with Buckski. Fished there about 5 years ago. Trash and lowlifes.
Never again."

your generalizations kill me!!!!! the sbh is a great place to bring the kids when the ice is safe, funny how a couple of idiots who werent safe make you guys lump everyone in one lot....kind of like starting a sentence "i dont mean to offend anyone, but..." you did, and the harbor is better off without you....

Just wanted to know how you classify and make the determination that someone is Low Class . What do you do rate by their annual earnings or what ? The comment about uninformed would mean what ? Not having a computer or subscription to the Wall Street Journal !! I live on a lake and see and meet all types of people Rich and poor and let me tell you in MY experience the richer {meaning money only] seem to carry a HIGHER THAN THOU attitude and are some of the worst at leaving their litter on the ice. They come out there with expensive tag alongs and have parties leaving all sorts of debree in the holes. I know cause I pick up after them. Now, How would you rate those guys ? No matter where you fall in the economic bracket everyone should be picking up the mess they create because access priveledges are at risk. As far as safety is concerned, I think a spud is a necessity when ice is suspect. Speaking for myself only, I wear the inflatable suspenders, ice picks,ice cleats and carry a spud. What gets me is these High class guys[probably by your rating] with the expensive snow machines zipping up and down the lake on 2 1/2'' of ice.

I'm not going to question the moral fiber or intelligence of the people who fish there, but you would need a hell of a lot more than a garbage bag to clean up the SBH. It's a farking dump.

WOW....with comradrie like I am seeing here from you WNY boys, I am glad I left cheektowaga when I was 18 and never looked back. I faintly remember the SBH and yes it was dirty but I wouldn't say everyone who fishes there is scum or a low life. That just isn't right.

Don't question the brotherhood, Dwayne. That will always be there.
A lot of us just have attitude problems and like to mess with each other.
The SBH has evolved into a monster since you left, I'm sure.
Mattresses, box springs, and all...

BUCKSKI · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 15, 2006, 11:12 AM »

Man bring back two bags of crap while someone is till throwinbg on the ice is a test of one mans will.
Would rather knock em out ot prove the point, by why when you have everthing to lose and they have nothing.
Hay crappie if cosuya had this proble I believe you may have a different attitude. And yes most shanty guys do not even fish the SBH they fish other locations near and police themselves, have also the back canal, freezer and big ship they do not seem to have that problem?
They have class!
