What irritates you most on ice?

[epkirkman]

"Turds" Some guy left behind his legacy last year. Not only did I trip over it but I almost got sick when I looked back.

I wish I was kidding but some guy left a big old pile of [PoorWordUsage] laying about the ice, paper and all. I will pick up almost anything....that little gem I left laying there.

[TMF89]

Ahhhh where to begin??

[PoorWordUsage] auger, it took me about five minutes to cut one hole, and I felt so bad about forcing the other people to listen to my auger try to start, and then take about a minute to drill through the ice (I realize there's obvious problems with it, but I just plan on selling it for cheap and getting a new one, so I'm not gonna sink any money into it), that I never even drilled my second hole. I was just grateful that no one came over and gave me grief about it.

had a dude on the lake yesterday, put his portable 10 feet from mine, no big deal i can handle that, but then he proceded to hook a sled behind his truck and pull his kids around. just used the house for warming up???? WTH!!! and of course garbage, why cant people just pick up after themselves? i dont say much not even to the guy with the sled, but ive chased down people and brought them the garbage they left.

[wayne123]

I agree too. You try everything and cannot get them to bite. That is when I wish I had a camera. I do not like not knowing what is down there. It is fun when you cycle through a bunch of jigs and finally find something they like.

[harvey lee]

Nothing bothers me except the fish not biting. I go fishing to enjoy the outdoors. Yes, people can be a pain and rude and sometimes pigs but one cannot let it bother them. I almost always try to fish away from the crowd so I do not have to deal with the majority of these issues.

It is suppose to be fun.

[charlie1959]

I agree with Harvey the point of going fishin is to have a stress break and enjoy the outdoors,dont let the morons bother u just do what u think is right ie like pickin up after someone else,stay positive the fishin is better then

[andrew chadwick]

SNOW!!!! that is what bothers me the most, along with people setting up right next to you. Also people who ask for your fish when you release them.

[fishgutz77]

since I'm very mobile, I just move if people are the problem. I rarely fish a spost more than an hour anyway.

What irks me is my own inablilty some days to figure out whats going on early. I spend half the day dialing it in and then starting to catch some fish. what size what color how fast how slow how high pound the bottom and so on.

[Drewski]

MORONS!!!

[northernsportman]

Pullin a house by hand only to hit slush. That slush, in turn, freezes on the bottom.

[Trollin226]

Running out of propane. When the girlfriend calls within 1 minute of me stepping onto the lake. How does she always know?

[landscaper]

SNOW.......Windy days suck on the ice! and deep snow....

how many ppl. got stuck this year on the lake???

[KG243]

Dumd a$$ drunks, stay home and bury your sorrows.

[Cold_blood]

losing a trophy right at the hole or people setting right next to me which can be funny when i'm not fish and am movin

[Royce Aardahl]

Black Fingers from putting a hundred waxies on a hook!

[Glockwinger]

Dumd a$$ drunks, stay home and bury your sorrows.

Thank you. Scares the you know what out of you at night in the perm when you see headlights coming right at you and then suddenly jerk to the side when they realize there is something in front of them besides their bottle.

Peeps that don't put reflectors on all sides of their ice house!! its the law i believe? LOL : )

[Dead-C-Force]

Drunks and drunks on snowmobiles.

Crabby resort people.

Crabby resort people without teeth.

People that call me and wake me up in the middle of my day while catching a nap in the shack... : )

[wormhook]

Deep snow like this winter!

[lovebigbluegills]

I stopped on the way home at a favorite lake to catch the last half hour of bluegill fishing. I drilled a few holes, then set out with my bucket, vexilar, and rod. I left my jig box on the back bumper of my pickup. Fishing was great, got things packed up, and headed home. No jig box. I looked through everything for it-no jig box. The next day, I searched the roads, the access, the lake--no jig box. I could've cried.

That's my frustration for the year, having to re-purchase a box full of jigs. All because I had a brain fart and left it on the bumper.

[dirtking]

I'll agree with Crabby resort folks - I was at the two biggest lakes in NW minnesota last weekend and got snobby/smart assd responses from each of them when I asked where the fish were biting, or how far out are people going. Guess next time I'll give them their $10/$8 and thank them for their road.

Holes freezing up is a pain too.

[chippewachuck]

loud snowmobiles and 4wheelers, guys who drive right past you, guys who drill right by you, guys who use your holes, trash and theives

[mww24]

I don't mind the noise of other people, I try to stay away from other people but they flock to you like your the fish whisperer at times. If only they knew i hardly ever catch fish. Trash really angers me though. Show some respect to the lakes we fish year round otherwise there wont be much left in them for others in the future.

[FISHINGURU]

that i'm only aloud to use 2 poles when all i do is catch and release...when i can only use 2 i'm really only fishing with 1 at a time because the other one always has a fish on it.

[bmc2b]

Driving to URL for a day of fishing, having my auger switch break, and none of the locals could help fix.
