Jiggles Report

Thursday March 31st 2011

Today my son and I went up to the Winnie to check how the landing was holding up at Highbanks and see how the ice was doing.

things look great and we took the sidekick out there with ease. could have taken the 3/4 ton out there no problem.

We decided to take advantage of the nice weather and catch a quick half dozen tulibees for pickling.

once we did that we started driving to the different areas of the lake where we had our villages set up.

the ice is in such good shape, I felt like calling every body and setting up houses again.

Anyhow, we take a run around the lake this time each year and pick up blocking and garbage left behind.

I check each place I was set up and every other place I know of where there was set ups.

My rig was just about full when I came upon this

all this, the leavings from one house.

I know which house it was.

so I tell you what, if this is yours, or if you know the guy from hibbing with the green permanent house, spray foamed, looks like a big roll off dumpster, then maybe you want to contact him.

if he can get the pile that I so neatly extracted from the ice and piled up for removal off of the ice before I get there tomorrow with the C.O.and a pick up, then you may be able to save yourself the embarrasment and discomfort of a hefty fine.

Good for you jiggle!! Get em! slobs! Get er done

[IamZombie]

Where's that like button at?

[Valv]

Excellent, excellent, good job, and thank you from all of us.

[Ed Carlson]

Ada Boy!

[Rick G]

Thank you for being a true sportsman.

[fivebucks]

Nicely done!

[fatcat45]

ALRIGHT!!

[Greg Clusiau]

Nice job Jigs ~ looks like more deer stand material!

[Outfitter17]

Thanks for taking the time to do a little cleanup, I don't care what lake its on - I hate to see debris left this time of the year.

[gotum]

Thank you for going above and beyond to take care of the lake.

[jigglestick]

I make a living out there for ten weeks in the winter. I feel it's just the thing to do.

I don't mind and neither does scroungie. it's sorta like a scavenger hunt.

we have found useful items as well as the usual propane bottles and $hitbags. chunks of styrofoam and beer cans/bottles.

this year the snow melted and refroze before the water could go down, so a lot of stuff is covered up.

even in the villages it looks good but I know better.

there are two more big areas left to clean and I will be on it this afternoon.

who knows, maybe I'll find a hundred dollar bill??

[Chef]

Perfect!

[OnAFly]

Just imagine how much garbage wouldn't be in our lakes if we had more guys like you around.

Great job, hopefully you do find that $100

As for people that leave blocks in the ice. They should lose their permy privileges for a year. 2nd offense 5 years. 3rd offense forever.

[JimBuck]

Thanks for taking the time to clean up after the slobs. I hope the fool that left behind this mess gets what is coming.

[ditchpickle6996]

Great job! Not many would go above and beyond to pick up after slobs like that.

[EBass]

Thank you!

[Grum]

From the bottom of my heart (and boat), Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou! A True Sportsman!

[Rippinlip]

Great job! Thanks!

[pascooter94]

great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wanderer]

It's beyond me how people think wood blocking isn't trash. They call it "cover" or "structure" and leave it behind. I call it lazy and irresponsible.

Thanks Jigglestick.

[Ed Carlson]

I'm Curious.. did the guilty Slob return to pick up his pile-o-[PoorWordUsage], or did you go back for it, or did a CO do it?

[jigglestick]

nope, I picked it up yesterday. the CO called me to get a full lowdown on the situation.

I told him it might be a different story if the guy came to the lake ill prepared to extract timbers from the ice which I'm sure every thing was encased in, but maybe approached the resort owner and explained his dilema promising to return and get his junk out, but it wasn't the case so as soon as I get his contact info, he's going down.

oh, and enough with the atta boy's. really, I like to think anybody here would have done the same thing and it is really not a big deal to me.

I didn't post for pats on the back, more to root this guy out so he would do the right thing.

still looking for the hondo....

[Ed Carlson]

Understood, and your point of view is well received. We each should do the next right thing and as sportsman we all will benefit.

These guys need to understand this is not only an issue of pollution, it's a safety issue.

How would you like to hit one of them landscaping timbers going full bore with your rig on your first trip out? There is no assurances they will find a shoreline home as beach junk, or stay there when they do.

Empty #1 propane bottles take out there share of props every spring, just to name one safety junk hazard. People need to use there heads! Sportsman policing Sportsman appears to be the only working answer.

[Ed Carlson]

Rut-Roe...just thought of something..a potential Ruckus?

Is that considered Driftwood when on the ice, or not?

If so...them nasty Driftwood Regulations could apply here.

LOL!

OK...I couldn't help it...sorry.
