I mean theres others that have little animations of a stick man hitting a keyboard, blood flying, essentially committing suicide (I think its Dore) ... am I insulted since I had a friend that did pretty much that with a gun .. no ... it's a joke and even though i don't find it funny I'm sure many do.
Life is short ... laugh a little.
Believe me, I joke a lot. Anyone who's been around a while would know.
This is not really something to joke about.
Sure it is "funny"..... but really.
No worries man, I was just stating my opinion, other's may laugh if they wish. Fall through the ice and you won't be joking about it.
Fatluke .. i hear ya ... no worries here either ... checking ice is serious business ... where I'm from originally there's always a couple of guys spearing eels who go through every year .. some make it and some don't but they never seem to learn... I recall checking the ice as a kid with my father to see if it was good to skate on ... I was about 10 feet from shore and went through ... i was scared sh^tless ... until I heard my father say "stand up ... it's only about 2 feet deep" ... "oh yeah right .. guess the ice is not ready" ...
Man I am totally down, but like some of the other people have mentioned. Safety is my #1 concern. I am not going to go on the ice with people who do not have alot of experience on the bay.
Not knocking you James, I would love to go out to quinte. But I would rather pay a guide, or at least know that I am going with at least one person who has at least 10 years experience on the bay.
I love fishing, but not enough to risk my life over!
Obviously we will only go to areas with a lot of people.
FOR SAFETY PURPOSES!!!
I FULLY agree with Fatluke. I went to some areas last year that were BUSTLING! the week before and were unsafe the next....
Hopefully Mother Nature is more co-operative this ice season. With enough guys and gear pooled together this should be a ton of fun!
Its all in "friendly" competition and EVERYONE is welcome...
DO NOT BE SHY! If you want to ice fish Quinte, this is a good way to do so. Doubtful it'll cost anymore than a couple of bucks to hitch a ride and ice fish for your chance at a PIG of a walleye!
