Whats your favorite "Stupid Qustion" on the ice?

[Guest]

I guess the only one that got me was this.

We were scouting perch on DL and we headed out like 3 miles from anything and anyone. Found a spot I had marked on GPS from the season before, not sign of anyone being in the area at all that season. So we drilled 200 holes all over the area and were began chasing a schools of perch around a huge flat.

Now we see a truck approaching fallowing our tracks. They zig zag around us in circles for 5 minutes circling like buzzards, finally landing right between us.

A guy gets out and walks over and said "Hey, you guys are on our spot, those holes are ours from yesterday. So will you have to move so we can use them!".

I think my jaw hit my chest about then? He was dead serious too, and kinda [PoorWordUsage]ed off.

So I looked at my partner, he looked a bit stunned too. Then I said, "Ya sure..excuse us, NO-PROBLEM...we can move."

Then we moved over 10 yards to the next serious of holes we just drilled 10 minutes earlier. They quickly jumped the ones we were in.

To this day that was about the most bazaar thing I have encountered while ice fishing, anywhere.

As Ya Hey Der and I are leaving the lake, a younger gentleman with a Vex, rod, tackle and bait asks: "do you think any of the holes are still open"? Ummm, you have all the gear but you have no way of getting your bait below the ice??? We told him yes, there were a couple near a permanent. We neglected to tell him that we saw someone urinating in one of them just minutes earlier.

Remember: There are no stupid questions. Just stupid people who ask questions.

I was in college and planned a trip out to the lake for some icefishing. Double checking everything to make sure I had the right gear when the girl I was dating at the time asked, "Aren't you guys going to wear life jackets?"
"Oh right," I bit my lip, "We're renting ours from the resort on the lake. Saves space."
She smiled (from the cities) "Yep. My Dad always makes sure to bring life jackets when he goes fishing. What would you do without me?"

"Anyone want a piece of Santa?"

A few years back 5 of us were sittin' in the shack when there was a knock on the door. I opened it up and there was this half-drunk guy with a 4-foot chocolate Santa in his arms. He was going shack to shack, trying to give it away, piece by piece. We all had a good laugh as he dragged that thing in our shack, broke off an arm or leg for us and went on his way. Good chocolate too!

My favorite was last year on Red on a Saturday night the channel our group was on our Walkie Talkies was going constantly. The best was when a guy says "I just pulled one in and that makes 5" His buddy replies, "How far are you fishing off the bottom" He comes back with "About 10 feet, Isn't this a pretty flat lake?"

[Cheech]

I heard they bite just before and right after dark.
No.
Thats what people say that cant catch them during the day.

[knoppers]

whatcha catchin, our normal response, nothing but a good buzz.

last year me and a few of my buddies went up to mille lacs and decided we were going to walk out on the lake a give it a shot. so we went out there for about 3 hours and all we got were little 6" perch. finally when we were walking back in a light bulb went off in my head. i got a golf cart back in the shed that my grandpa always uses so we could try to get that thing running. we went back and found a battery that worked and drove it out on the lake. the lake at this point was all honey comed ice so it was easy driving. When we went out on the lake we stopped by some people to see how they were doing. and they asked us what is that thing? I still remember the expression on there face when we told them it was a golf cart. First of all it how could you not know what a golf cart is. and second of all why would you even ask that if you knew the answer. We ended up getting 46 jumbo perch. so later on we gave it a name The Fish Finder.

not a stupid ice fishing question but its a good one. my friend is a biologist for the usfg in montana, and one evening when he was doing some study in yellowstone and a couple of people came up to him and asked, "where do you put all of these animals at night?" being a professional he had to keep a straight face and explain the grizzlys, elk, deer are wild animals! no joke they were serious! GOOD LUCK FISHING!

True story:
I am near no one on Tetonka.
My buddie and I have tip-ups out. At dusk, a truck drives up and this guy actually drives over one of my tip-ups as he pulls right up to my Otter. Young guy gets out and asks, "...catch anything?".

My answer was, "I did... and would you mind backing your tire off my tip-up... I can't see my flag with your tire sitting on it".
The guy went white faced and said not a word... got back in his truck and left.

"Can I fish this hole?" (It's 5 feet away from me, geez!!) It happened twice last year!

[Big Roy]

Hey silveroddo,
I here those dupont spinners are "dynamite" on the fish, whenever somebody asks me "How much water do you have under ya?" I'll reply "About 50 million gallons give or take a few" That one will send them away.
