1/2 ton, extended cab, on 10 3/4" of ice

[JSK76]

I was out fishing today and I heard the ice making all kinds of popping and cracking, so I looked out the window and here comes a extended cab Dodge Ram. I now know, and believe about under water waves. When he was about 100 yards away I thought my house was going down, to the point I headed out the door and then turned back for my Arctic Armor coat, buy the time I got to it, the cracking had subsided some. I have heard a lot of cracking and popping from truck going by but nothing like this, but then again, I never had a truck of this size drive buy me with under 11" of ice, he also had 3 kids with him, I wounder if he even knew how much ice was on the lake.

Your always gonna have crazy/clueless people driving out too early. All you can do is look out for yourself.

I was nervous with my little 4-banger honda accord loaded down on 12" of ice, even with trucks out there already, didn't make me feel any better.

It happens all the time. It's just a shame he has to take his kids with.

Sometimes that is hard to do as they pull up next to you.... and don't understand why you are running the other way!!!

That's funny whats even funnier is when he keeps following you hollering "I just want to ask you a question".

We have about 12" of ice on the lake we're on and last Friday there was a 3/4 ton truck out there. He was amongst about 15 fish houses already weighting down the ice. I'm glad I wasn't out there when I saw it.

the best is when they pull up next to you on 9 inches of ice and while your franticaly throwing your gear in the porty and moving away, they ask how thick the ice is. Why did they not think to figure that out before they drove out, especially when your truck is on shore, how is it possible to be that stupid. i know there are dumb people out there but people that do this take the cake, and with kids in the car! Yeh teach those kids the wrong way right away, i guess that just spreads the stupidity through the family. Can anyone say natural selection?

i got nervous just reading the post. not sure i could go out on the ice. you all have more guts than me

HF101 we had that exact thing happen to us last year we were on a lake up nort. We park trucks on shore and pulled portys out after about hours worth of fishing ice starts popping and cracking like wild look out the windows and four door ford deisel truck pulling a !@#!#$$ big house is headed towards us he got about forty yards from us stops and walks over to us and asks how thick the ice is! we tell him about ten inches and he walks back to his rig and six kids and grandma pile out to start fishing. could not believe it ive been ice fishing many years but still can not believe some of the stupid stuff i see.

Jeffery, I don't know if its guts...or lack of brains. There is a fine line.

I've often tried to explain ice fishing to those that have never seen or experienced it. I always get the same expression looking back at me.
