they are reporting his gear was by an open hole in the ice. not good at all
My condolences go out to his family.I'll put money on it probably being an old timer. Seems 9 out of every 10 times we read about this out by this part of the state its an older guy
Sad story, my biggest fear, falling through at night, only hope might be the lantern light to findyour way back up and out, unless the snow cover blocked the light, scary.Anyone know how deep this was, and this was a "creek" ?
I hope this doesn't turn into a lawsuit like when that moron that got his family killed in that canoe accident on the Schukyll river,then sued the state for 1.2 million.Lawsuits and search and rescue cost money.The next thing you know our icefishing "privileges" on this lake will be in jeopardy.It seems to me that the state legislature finds it easier to make laws to protect us from ourselves, by removing our decision making ablity.I served 4 yrs. active duty, and in most places in Pa. I can't even drink a beer while i'm fishing. I've been to other states and they'll sell you a thirty pack at the ramp. I don't get it.
someone died and your worried about being able to fish the lake again.
They said on the news 8' of water. This is a part of the lake that is fed by peters creek, hence the name of this part of the lake.
Thanks for backing me up ski hunter. In a conversation w/ one of my liberal friends about the tragedy, he had the audacity to say something as ignorant as "well nobody should have been allowed to icefish around here(berks county) at all this year". He doesn't even icefish. This kind of ignorance is why "they" are trying to stop innocent Americans w/ no criminal record from buying more than one gun a month. ANY GUN! When I was a kid, It wasn't a LAW to wear a helmet when I rode my bike, But it is now! Seatbelt laws! Do I need to go on? One guy kidnaps a bus full of kids, and now every bus has a lite beacon on top of it now! There is a town in California(ahole of the country) where it is ILLEGAL to smoke a cigarette anywhere outside! People doing studies on how kids backpacks are too heavy and causing back pain.This is insane. Schools today look like colleges. I didn't have air conditioning in high school, and I don't think it hampered my education one bit. School taxes go up, but are children any more intelligent. I don't think so! My question is this. How may icefishing deaths would it take to start a class action lawsuit?
Do I need to go on?
Half way through your rant, you asked The answer was NOAs another one of your liberal friends, let me say that you are way over paranoid. And this thread is not about your paranoid ultra Conservative views, or about my liberal views. It's about a fellow ice fishing brother who lost his life. My deepest condolances and prayers to his family, very sad indeed. And yes, a reminder to all of us to always proceed with the utmost caution.
