Rules of the Fish House

[minnbowhunter]

To my guests....yes, I will be bringing my dog, she is more important than you are, deal with it. NO smoking in the house, bring you own spit cup. Clean up your own mess, I'm not your mother. You can drop dead minnows down the hole, thats all.

[RonWBasser]

You guys pretty much covered it all I would say. If it's your house you can choose the rules. Most normal people are bright enough to know proper fish house etiquette, but there are always a few that don't. Ask them politely once, then if they don't conform don't ask them to come back.

Personally I hate the cigarette smoke more than anything.

[stifler51]

no smoking here, in one of my free-be porti shacks i got, buddy and i smoked a few cigars in it and from there on out my truck smelled like cigars and the house never air'd out

[crappiekid]

Grizzly hit it on the nuts; NO WHINING! or Complaining!

This is ia Great Relaxing Experience! Dont mess it up.

[Cliff Wagenbach]

Catch your own fish, tell your own lies!

One of my buddies went on a three dayer with me and after we got the shack set down and the holes drilled, he started hauling his stuff into it. When he was done he had a pile of stuff two feet high and six feet long against a wall. I told him to get everything back out to his truck that he didn't need or wasn't going to use. I kind of figured that his cot, sleeping bag, pillow and extra Aqua Vu could stay in the truck until they were needed along with his tackle box which was the size of a VF Beetle. If ya want to bring something to drink for the day, I don't think you actually need a case of bottled water. Beer might be a different story.

Sure glad I have a couple of my own houses.

Let's see cig smoke or the smell of rotting meat and beer azzz...tough one there.

I will say the guys who usually make the most mess are the ones that don't have their own houses, tackle, bait, beer etc.

#1) I don't want to hear about how your $70 rod is better than my $20 rod while you sit there in your LL Bean/Cabela's-wear. Since when does fishing require a uniform?

#2) NO RADIOS IN THE FISHHOUSE! NO EXCEPTIONS!

#3) Yes I AM going to eat that eelpout if you're not. Leave a fish on the ice and I'll be calling the local CO.

#4) I fart a lot, deal with it.

Remind me not to ice fish with you...

My rules are simple.

#1) have fun, some of my best memories ice fishing don't always include catching tons of fish.

I fart a lot too, but the radio covers up the noise.

[wasssit]

gotta have radio, so i can listen to the vikings play.

1. all the fish, goes to one person, next time it goes to someone else.

2. bull**** stories are aloud.

3. [PoorWordUsage] faaarrr away from the house, when done check the tip-up, before coming in.

4. who ever sits by the door is the beer~man.

5. pick up after yourself.

Well played. ;D

Does the radio handle the other byproduct?

[deadeye]

I like the NO WHINING rule.

Otherwise, no smoking in the house.

I like to have fun while Im fishing even if they aren't biting. Expect your flag to be mysteriously poped up and your bobber to be down (with the help of a old clip on depthfinder) if your not paying attention.

[Finlander]

No hogging the venison jerky!

Bring your own minnows!

Bring you own beer!

Replace used propane tanks!

Make sure permanent house doesn't get froze in! Block it up.

Remove all garbage inside and out!

No summertime taclke boxes allowed! Who needs a Hula Popper?

[magic_minnow]

no beer? NO ENTRY!

[magic_minnow]

He who farts in the house, must be branded with whatever heater you have.

[andrew chadwick]

NO GIRLS....just kidding.

Mine are no smoking and don't leave your trash in my house.

[labguy]

No Gameboy type games for kids, no smoking, no exceptions.

[Royal Dutchman]

Yeah, should be common sense but some people........

These rules are posted in my personal houses.

1 Respect the lake

2 Respect the house

3 Respect your fellow fishermen

4 The hole (including ice in cut-out) is not a spittoon, ashtray, toilet, or trashcan. Nothing goes in the hole unless it lives in the lake or has a hook in it.

5. Do not urinate within 3 feet of house. When I pick the ice away to move & your "P---chips" hit me in the face, I think poorly of you.

6.If you break it or loose it, replace it

[Rippinlip]

Keep it simple:

Have fun!

No venting about your job!

Whatever you keep you clean!

[prov1900]

That's a keeper.

[DoubleLunger]

NO SMOKING, NO WAY, NO HOW!! Other than that, no spitting chew in holes, pickup after yourself and bring plenty of Mich Golden Light and Yag.

[Ol_Bullhead]

Stop peeing on my pickup tires trying to freeze it down to the ice,

alcohol a must if I'm sleeping with 4 other guys,

farting is allowed as long as you have matches,

no smoking thats what the outdoors are for,

any eyes over 20 must go back over 30 is your call,

pick up trash and put ice chunks back down the hole,

if someone gets stuck and asks for help help them,

if someone needs to warm up invite them in,

be a good neighbor we are all out there for fun

[Joe15]

How about every fart must be better than the last or you do a lap around the house

[DoubleLunger]

And when its cold, light them for heat.
