machohorn Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 It's amazing how the ice always slopes towards the hole and the second you drop sumtin you know it's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBear Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Probably an ice skimmer. I've already got a good start cause my didgital camera fell out of my shirt pocket at the end of a dock last week. Got it back and had it sitting in the defroster of my truck but no go yet. Haven't mentioned it to the wife yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toughguy Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 These are always popular I have lost or seen lost: I have also gotten my foot stuck in the hole when fishing alone. That can be scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Crichton Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Losing or dropping something down the hole is one thing, but getting it back is another. A Jack grabbed my rod, which I didn't have secure, and took it down the hole as I was 10 feet or so away. I ran and was told it was a perfect dive to the hole and reached down all in 1 motion. Came up with a wet arm. 20 minutes later and 30 feet away, 1 from our group pulls up a jack and low and behold attached to that was my rig. Got the rig back and the Jack. The reel was a little bit sandy, but cleaned up real well.G.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyebjim Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Try leaving it in the truck in the open on a sunny day. My XM radio got real wet (Wave came over the bow) and quit on me. I did this for 2 days and it came around and works like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskerBen Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ice fishing is just one reason I always carry a spare truck key and house key. Thankfully, I had both spares with me when it happened last year. I heard my keys hit the ice, and as I turned to see where they were, I dragged my foot and kicked 'em right down the hole.
