RAWWWWR!! That's about how I feel

[gprime27]

Rawr.

Well, almost got into a :argue2: with a guy today. We decided to fish about 20 feet from where everyone drives down on the lake which, we've never had a problem before. Well, this guy towing two snowmobiles pulls onto the lake, stops, looks around and proceeds to drive right between ALL of our holes with LINES that where in! My sonar etc was also in right where he drove by!

I called this guy a few words as he had his window open and he Sped off doing about 60 down the lake. I belive I wished he'd loose his truck through the ice and when he came back I wasn't going to help him.

when he came back he was doing at least 80 towards me as I was checking my far tip up, all I heard was crack pop bang under my feet. I think I felt the ice rise up. I just started walking away, then that's when he stopped.

"Hows the fishing?" was his words to me.. I told him the fishing was ****ty and he should go to a different lake.

I also informed him that if he ever goes across my holes again he better not stop on the same body of water and keep driving as he'd get reported for being a douche.. He was gonna get out of his truck his buddy stopped him. I had my hand on my trusty knife at that time.

He then sped off between ALL our holes again. What a DOUCHE!!

Oh, and if someone here ate pizza 73 yesterday on the ice at the lake I was at today.. I have a garbage bag of your crap and I'd love to give it back to you. It's full of chocolate milk containers, beer bottles etc!

[npauls]

Moral of the story:

Don't park and fish right beside the road onto the lake and you won't get bothered. :thinking-006:

[tacklerunner]

Shoulda drilled a bigger hole & thrown him & his truck into the lake BGSH style.

Moral of the story:

Moral of the story is, THERE WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH ROOM TO GO AROUND.. HE COULD HAVE WENT RIGHT OR LEFT! Oh wait it's you.. I expect you to say something like that

[Ken07AOVette]

Shoulda drilled a bigger hole & thrown him & his truck into the lake BGSH style.

Or beat him with your cane when he tried to steal your big Mac RHF style?

Op- thanks for cleaning after the losers. Too bad the RCMP did not get them with the beer.

[gprime27]

and besides where EVERYONE drives their trucks down, we were to the left of the drive down spot. Guys towing trailers went left and right all day. I don't see why this guy couldn't have went either way.

[Esox]

Hand on your trusty knife? Wow, you're a real hero! Maybe you should gt a little off the main trail. The guy was probably trying to follow it because he knew there was safe ice there for sure.

:sHa_sarcasticlol:

hahaha that was way to easy.

If you don't like people around you while fishing with the chance of driving through your gear go down the lake a bit to where there is no one else. simple as that.

[gprime27]

Not that I'd ever use it anyways :snapoutofit:

[gprime27]

No one ever came down to that area and most don't ever. It's normally just the local friendly folk that respect where you are and go around.. It's pretty far out of the way to begin with..

Umm think the moral of the story is "dont litter on the ice, aswell as not driving through peoples gear and not driving like a bat outta hell on the ice". I know where he was fishing, LOTS of room to drive around. Vehicles nowadays have this thing called power steering it helps you turn. Right or left woulda prevented 30% of this story. But cha cant fix stupid.

[gprime27]

Thanks winger7mm... I'm sure if Npauls had someone cut right through his gear he'd be livid also.

A whole lake to fish and you set up 20 feet from where everyone drives down to the lake and expect everyone to drive around you. Are you frickin kidding me? :sHa_sarcasticlol:

[Zip-in-Z]

Based on your observations, the dip stick was either high or intoxicated, it was wise not to provoke him any further, as well, you should of got his plate & called 911 and reported him as impaired!

Zip ...

[gprime27]

We parked the vehicles 20 feet from where everyone drives down and pretty far to the left. Another 30 feet maybe... there was at least another 30 - 40 feet where the gear was from the vehicles.. As I said, guys came and went ALL DAY without issues. Packing snow mobiles on trailers etc. They never had an issue going right or left. THERE WAS NO ONE IN THEIR WAY. There were people to the right of us with their gear in the same area and they were ****ed off at this guy to.

My question is Why did this guy feel the need to drive straight to the MIDDLE of the lake. then go left and drive about 1000 yards down the lake and park right near the damn shore? he could have followed the path of the other vehicles left or right. If he wanted to go to the middle of the lake to drive he could have very much went to the middle of the lake after going around everyone.

I certainly wouldn't have done it and maybe some of you are saying that you would drive right down the middle of fellow fishermens gear? That's pretty pathetic I must say.

[npauls]

Thanks winger7mm... I'm sure if Npauls had someone cut right through his gear he'd be livid also.

I don't have any problem with people driving around me because the places I fish are out of the way away from everyone else.

I like to get out of my vehicle and walk instead of pretty much fishing out of the door of my vehicle.

Doesn't matter where you fish, don't give an idiot the right to drive over your stuff.

[HunterDave]

Hey said he set up 20 feet from where people drive onto the lake.

If people driving around you is going to be a problem go somewhere else on the lake.

x2 I don't know where some people get their sense of entitlement from?

I wonder how many guys that had to go around him thought that he was an idiot? :rolleye2:

[the pro]

Npals you weren't there you don't know we're we fish so stop making assumptions thanks

[Gust]

I know the spot and it would be just as easy to go out and around where gprime WAS ALREADY set up fishing.

First rule of fishing is etiquette,, it was probably more than obvious that someone was fishing,,, we've all experienced dipknobs out there who like to pull right up like its a tailgate party.

[baptiste_moose]

Enjoy boys cause I bet that was "the pro's" last post! 25 posts isn't bad for an AO troll in hiding!

Dave people have been driving the shore line there the whole year and every year so thateres no problem were we fish

Maybe you're just upset that there's more than your group fishing Twin Valley now.

The location of where he fishes is no where near a known lake entrance location. Out of all the times ive been there, no new tracks going out. And only ever seen 2 different groups of people fishing out there, and both were very polite. There are alot of places to get on the lake. Dunno why someone would drive through your gear

There's no "rules" about etiquette. Everyone has a different version of "etiquette". Nice guys finish let, ***** etiquette.

He said in the original post that it is a known entrance onto the lake. That is enough for most guys to set up somewhere else if they don't want people driving around them.

simple concept that some people just don't get I guess.

I have a few question Npauls? Do you think I'm dumb or something? Do you not think I have any Etiquette myself? Do you not think that the group I was with would not understand that we were beside a road and would not leave people room to turn back onto the road? Do you think that I would not have had people park their vehicles somewhere that wouldn't facilitate the road that we came down on? Do you not think we would place our gear / holes somewhere that would NOT bother the main trails onto the lake? Do you think we just put our holes right in the pathway to be jerks? OR do you think that maybe just maybe I understand fishing / driving Etiquette and wouldn't be an absolute ass to facilitate other people? Or do you just think I'm an absolutly worthless piece of skin that doesn't deserve to fish? I seriously don't get you? Everytime I post you have NOTHING nice to say. YOU ARE THE REASON I STOPPED ALONG TIME AGO. Next time please please please keep it to yourself!

How would you feel if someone drove between you and your gear?? MUCH different then driving AROUND you. Dunno how to underline on my phone lmao, but you said it yourself :)

Do you two need a minute or two to get your stories straight?

I could care less who fishes where! Just don't drive down the middle of my gear. It's that simple.. End of story. Sorry I ever brought it up

[Esox]

I could care less

Did you know you're using the wrong word. By saying you could care less means you do care a little. In fact, you mean to say that you couldn't care less, that implies there is zero room to care and you do not care at all.

[elkdump]

what a shame the fishing wasn't better ?

how I would love to see 2 guys beating each other stupid with a couple of frozen fish !:fighting0030:

[npauls]

Like I have already mentioned I fish where no one else is. There is almost always no on ice access where I go and people would have to drive quite a ways on the ice to get to where I fish. So I really don't have to worry about people driving through my gear.

[Gust]

There's no "rules" about etiquette. Everyone has a different version of "etiquette". Nice guys finish let, ***** etiquette.

You need to read the regs,, though it's not a carved in stone regulation (except to people who fish with courtesy), it is noted in the regs.

Don't whine and complain if someone drives through your gear is all I am getting at.

If you are fishing right by an on ice access you are bound to get someone that will cut close to you. You experienced that today. Hopefully next time nothing like that happens but what I am pointing out is that you should look somewhere else down the lake a bit if you don't want that same scenario in future trips.

[gprime27]

I don't think the op has any problem with people driving around them. They drove right over his stuff, I think that would tick you off as well, right

RIGHT! And my biggest issue is, IT WASN'T LIKE we were blocking any main artery to get on and off the ice. We respected the road and the access and setup off to the left of it.

[winger7mm]

Incase you didnt see i edited my post saying WHAT iv seen out there lol, havent seen much for anyone out there personally

read my earlier posts about not fishing around others or high traffic areas.

He didn't drive over his gear according to the original post he drove between it.

There is a possibility he didn't see a tip up or 2.

Sooooooooo, how was the fishing?

YES thanks I understand that if you are by an access point that you leave room for people to go around. However, my point is don't go down the middle of all my gear because you just want to be an ass. I'm sure you or anyone else would have just drove around. It wasn't like we were blocking anyone from accessing the lake. IF I was that dumb, fine drive through my gear.. What I hope is that people on this forum would understand that I have enough sense to be out of the way!

[brobinson]

X2 I don't think there's many people that have a problem with people driving on the lake near you. It's a big difference when some asshat decides to drive between all your stuff. It's a respect thing. And it really dosnt make any sense that everybody on this forum is out to ruin everybody else's day. The guy had a sh**** experience with a jerk at the lake. As outdoorsmen everybody should understand. Testosterone can't really fly on the Internet. It's not high school anymore boys. Stop beaking at each other like children.

Id love to see what an ice auger could to do an idiot like that :) with pix of course ;)...

Good on you for cleaning up all the garbage and leaving it a better place.. Being out on a lake ice fishing should be left clean and is a great way to get the sometimes req zen in life..

Dont worry about idiots who are real tuff inside their trucks, the world is full of them!
