Funny/clever (ice)fishing sayings...

[flakeportable]

Just looking for everybodys funny slogans that have been developed or passed on over the years. These are the type of sayings you would see burned into a piece of wood at the entrance to a cabin.

"there is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing"

[bikeoutback]

"Bad day of fishing is still better than a good day at work"

[JIvers]

I saw a black and white ink cartoon once--it showed a UFO with two aliens inside hovering over a frozen lake with a bunch of guys fishing on it. "Nope, no intelligent life here," one alien was saying to the other.

What I wouldn't give to find that cartoon...

Early to bed early to rise fish like heck and make up lies.

Regarding what to bring with:

"Two is one and one is none."

[fishermatt]

To describe the act of jiggling your set line to get the minnow going and attract fish: Bibble your Bobber!!!

[CRAZYEYES]

One of the best I've seen/heard was a couple years ago I was in a rental shack with a couple friends and my buddy was watching his bobber and yelled "And down goes Frazier". He ran over to his pole and fell flat on his behind. Down went Frazier.

[Mr.Seaguar]

I used to fish with a guy that would say, 'Its colder than my ex-wifes....heart. Only he didnt say heart.

I will catch a fish and say, "That fish is thinking, so this is what fresh air is like." Or, "That fish is thinking, I feel terrible, must be something I ate". We had a DNR guy checking us once when I caught a fish and I said that. the guy laughed and my buddy told the DNR guy "I have heard him say that a million times" The DNR guy, without missing a beat, looks at me and goes, "You must be one heckuva fisherman." Now I say that too. I must be one heckuva fisherman.

My cousin gave me a T-shirt for X-mas about 5 yrs ago that has a large fish hook on it surrounded by: "Minnesota Hookers...work 'em, don't jerk 'em." He actually found this in a store somewhere!

It is better to sit in the fish house and think about God than to sit in church and think about fishing.

Question: How far off the bottom are ya

reply: a foot to 12 inches

How thick is the ice?

all the way to the bottom of the hole

Did you see that walleye it had eyes as big as bicycle reflectors

The best reaction saying:

When someone steps on to the ice from the truck or car I ussally say dont get your feet wet!

[Finlander]

Here's another one: When the ice cracks and makes a loud noise, I say to the person nearest to me: Man your heavy!

[JSK76]

"Theres something down there" my uncle always says this when his minnow moves his bobber around the hole. It's become an inside joke with me and my friend when we fish together but we always say it with a Norwegian accent. "Ders somthing down Der"

[JSK76]

This is the best one ever!

My buddy is fishing with this old man and he catches a small fish and goes to throw it back down the hole, and the old man stops him and points at his bucket, and my buddy says "it's kinda small" and the old man says "shrimps are small, and we eat them too!"
