15 Rules of the Fish House

[olbaidhh]

This is something I have posted in my wheel-house some apply to kids all apply to the adults.... any other ideas?

15 Rules of the Fish House

1. You bait your own hook (accept my wife she is obsolete from all rules because she can be - I am sure you understand).

2. You bring your own booze… any left over becomes property of the house and stays with the house (food as well)

3. If you fall in a hole sit by the heater and dry out, we are not going in because of it and no crying about it.

4. No pictures can be taken after 9:00 pm accept of fish.

5. Nothing goes down the holes accept lures and bait, use the great outdoors as your toilet.

6. Owner of the house automatically gets the bottom bunk or the cot depending on number of people staying.

7. Owner picks the radio station – my radio doesn’t get country or western music.

8. For Risk of electrical shock relieve yourself on the side of the house opposite the generator.

9. If you catch fish they go with you. (I can be bribed to take them)

10. No talking about work (anything else is fair game)

11. No call girls during power hour. (generally between 3 and 7 pm) Depending on species being trageted.

12. For every fish caught all anglers in the house must swig from the house schnapps bottle no eceptions unless you have a cold or herpes. (not applicable to the underage but all adults must if underager catches a fish)

13. Newbie’s must bring a peppermint schnapps bottle as an offering to the house and fish gods to pass after a catch.

14. No farting - save it for outside it’s too confined.

15. Fish house owner has final say in all disputes, appeals can be heard next day if proper forms are filled out and filed in triplicate. Sorry we are all out of Forms.

You must have a special group of friends or family if you really can lay that law down. I'd have to fish alone, and I know I wouldn't be able to fish with you. lol.

Heck I couldn't fish with myself if that rule applied.

[machohorn]

< still thinking, but thats a great start

[Deitz Dittrich]

Are kidding me, no farting in the fish house?.. I would never be in the house?... Heck, when ever I gas in the boat in the summer time and my dad is along, he always said.. "ohh, you should have saved that one for the fish house".

[WallyGader]

Good Stuff! I wish i could enforce rule #10 with a couple guys i fish with. What are the penalties for breaking the rules? take a swig of shnapps for eveyone in the house?

11. No call girls during power hour. (generally between 3 and 7 pm) Depending on species being trageted.

So call girls are OK outside of power hour? I think most call girls only start working after 9pm or so anyway.

[Jordyn Kaufer]

Ha jeezzz...

My rules are don't complain, puke, and whine.

Oh and don't catch MY FISH!

[eyebjim]

A good rule is "shut up and fish".

Rule 14? Part of the fun of drinking beer is torturing your friends with beer farts.

One time my Dad let a particularily bad one, I asked if he farted.

His response? Of coarse! You don't think I smell like this all the time do you?

[Deitz Dittrich]

Thanks Donbo, that made me laugh.

[Christopher Quast]

Thats pretty good!!!! I would change the one about the cell phone to none allowed in house period, since that is what ice fishing is about right?

If you need to use it go outside or just leave it in the truck IMO Only can be used when you catch a big one and then you are limited to 10min, some would prolly have withdrawls if this was the case.

I have one to add, if you are going out to grab a beer, then ask the rest too...

[B. Amish]

Rule #1, I'm #1

[DonBo]

Thanks Donbo, that made me laugh.

Happy to brighten your day!

Now that was funny Don.

Does the wife know about the no call girls rule? I suspect it's no calls from girls, but I just wanted to check to be sure.

Don't you need a rule about minimum distance from the door to pee?

[jigginjim]

Maybe someone can come up with a fart sucker, to suck all farts out of the ice house.

[BLACKJACK]

Definately add the 'No Cell Phones' rule!! Fishing is about relaxing and getting away from the ratrace.

As far as #14 goes, when I go up to Red with my brother, I usually eat eggs AND Chile the night before, just so I can defend myself from his onslaught!!

[crothmeier]

In response to Rule # 14. last year 4 of us guys in a perm, friday-sunday, 8 cases of beer, 1 giant jar of pickled fish, 1 giant jar of pickled eggs, 1 jar of pickled vegetables. by saturday night you could actually see the stench from 100yds coming from the fishouse. hahaha.

[so haaad]

Cell phones are to be used for emergency situations only, which does include finding updated fishing information from guy friends. Absolutely no "good night" calls are allowed, and no texting.

[mngirl]

Those are great rules, if I had a house I would put those up. The best part is, you men are obsessed with one rule, #14, go figure!!!!!
