Ice Fishing

What do you do if the fish on your hook is too big to fit through the hole in the ice?

How far can you cast your bait under the ice?

As far as it will drop. :wink:


I'm more worried about H bringing home 60 lbs of ice and Mrs. H drowning in the kitchen trying to cook it. :lol:

Last time we went ice fishing there was a truck there standing on it's nose, with the box in the air, and the hood under the ice right up to the windshield. Wish I had the camera. A pressure crack opened up and he drove right in. The truck spent the winter there. We talked to the father of the guy who owned it and even though it was only a couple of hundred yards from shore, they couldn't find anyone to get it out. The only real opportunity had been when it happened, and they were all soaking wet and almost dead from hypothermia at the time, so didn't get the chance. I don't know how they ever retrieved it, but it wasn't until spring. And he had only owned it for a week before this happened!

While we were fishing that same day, every time a truck drove by us we could hear the ice cracking and groaning. After a while it stopped, and when we looked over there was an open spot about a foot across and a couple of hundred feet long. This ice was almost two feet thick, too. It was interesting to watch those guys come back again. They all made it, but some did some splashing. The lake is shallow and when it's windy the ice tends to pile up at the south end causing all kinds of cracks and hazards.

BTW, we walked out to where we were fishing. The expensive truck stayed on shore. :wink:

Respect the ice. Respect the cold.

I wasn't going to do this, but what the heck..

A man went ice fishing with his friend. They sat all day and couldn't even get a nibble. Meanwhile there was a kid at the next hole, only about 50 feet away that was pulling them in left and right. He had a big bucket just full of fish.

The two men were freezing already, so went over to see why the kid was having so much luck.
"How come you're catching so many fish?" they asked.
The kid just mumbled.
They asked again "How come you're catching so many fish?"
He mumbled again,
After they asked a third time, he leaned over and spit into his hand and said, "You've got to keep the worms warm."

Shoot! Watts and Compton were cakewalks compared to this joint.
