Snowmobilers, A ice fishermans nightmare!
First if all, to all you snowmobilers, stay off are lakes! Your so annoying and scare all the fishies away. Its hard enough to relax out there and fish without *neeeeeowwwwewwwwwwwww* guy passing the ice shack!
Anyone else have this frusteration?

Lakes are for everyone. I plan on quading with my ice gear once i'm healed in the new year. Same as boats in the summer, just stay 100 yards or more away from tents.
I won't be doing 80 mph accross the ice either.
Just respect each other on the ice.

sledders
Your probably the same guy that complains in the summer when I take my kids tubing. Unless you have a lake in your backyard deal with it. I pay my taxes just like you and if my family and I want to run the lake we will but we stay away from the fishing. I ice fish too been out three times this year already and lots of sledders come by its nice to see people enjoying this mild winter.

I sled AND I fish...sometimes I even sled to where I'm going to fish. Both activities are equally enjoyable pastimes for me. Around here with the lack of snow, sledding on a lake is about the only place that you can go right now.

I use my sleds to get us and our gear around the lake when ice fishing. We dont go fast and when we come up to group, we stop on the outer edge and walk in if we want to see how the fishing is. When I am recreational riding the sled on a lake, I stay far away from any group, not because I think we will scare the fish, just to be curtious. Some on sleds are like the seadoo idiots, have to be showing off close to people. I think most try to stay clear or slow down when going by. As for scaring fish, if a sled scares them, so does ice augers and vehicles driving around.

As long as the sledders are respectful of the fisherpeople no problem I know when the fishing gets slow I take a drive around in my truck and it sometimes seems to help RESPECT peoples right to be on the lake as long as they respect yours

In Jamaica, they talk about how everything boils down to two things: love & respect. Love/Respect for each other and love/respect for the environment.

I'd rather have a sled pass my tent than a full sized pickup. Especially with current ice conditions.
HunterDave had a good point, with little snow the lakes are one of the few places for snowmobiles.

Not so bad. But sometimes when I get skunked I am glad to have that excuse too.

I don't mind the sleds, I don't mind the boats, just keep a little distance. I hate the boats with a 500 watt stereo that you can hear there music 1/2 mile away tho. I'm out there to enjoy nature and not your music.

snow mobiles on ice is no different then boats on water, in fact just be happy you get to ice fish in the first place because in a few months you will be back in your boat or fishing from shore.

I don't mind snow mobilers as long as they are being respectful and slow down when getting near where I'm fishing or keep their distance.
The ones that do get on my nerves, are the ones that decide to show off and floor the throttle within 80ft or less from the fishing group.
I will drive my ATV onto the ice sometimes but don't start sporting around until i'm at least half a kilometre or more from the fishing groups and if swing by to ask how the fishing has been, I park at least 30ft away from them and walk up to them.

I don't buy it. the fish don't get spooked that easily.
And I had a guy hit my tip up today and it was less than 20 ft from my tent. Yeah it sucks. If your not into ice fishing then they might not even know what a tip up is! let alone know that they could be up to 40m from your tent (or what ever that number is)
Oh and I also have sleds and reach speeds of up to 150 km/h on the ice.

A buddy, his girlfriend and I sledded into a small BC lake a year ago. We were drag racing 2 of the sleds on the lake and every time we made it back to the fishing holes, their was a bite.
Do they still send out a guy on a snowmobile to pick up the dog sh** at Spray?

I got buzzed by a small plane yesterday out on Pine. We were at the north end and the plane was about 30 feet over our heads.
Still didn't get a bite though.
As for the original post, if you don't want to share the space, pack your stuff and go home. They have as much right to be there as the anglers do.
I used to do both, up until we sold our skidoo.

You did not major in English at any time in your life did you? In fact, you likely failed it.
Sorry "man", but you are hard to follow. I do get the gist of your post though. Most people use them correctly the bad eggs are good at being bad at everything - snowmobiling, boating, etc. So your just preaching to the converted here. At least that is my opinion.
P.S. I was joking about the dog sledding...I thought it was funny. Good thing I did not decide on being a comedian.

Lol.........yeah, maybe it sounds something like this:
Those darned ice fishermen putting tents up all over the lake where we're sledding. Yesterday one fella put one up away out by the island right beside the sled trail. It's not bad enough having to watch out for guys like this all of the time but the mess of the lake that he made was brutal! He must have drilled about a dozen holes and left frozen mounts of ice from the holes everywhere! Why can't these guys just gather with everyone else fishing and just stay away from where we're sledding?

bad grammer
yes I failed english doing this on my phone on key board made to be used by a child. with great freedom there is great responsibility and I dont see ppl out here in the west being very mindful of others .I see ppl put $$$$ into sleds ,boats,quads to make them faster, louder ,( in my opinion compatition level) for joe shmo just cause he can afford it (MORON) .I hate laws and rules. so I have no way of changeing the status quo but I will stand up for all others and have drove. after idiots on ice and water to tell them what I think (part of my freedom) the sleder I told off last yr got no cheer cause his sled can do 150 but 30 or so ice fisher ppl shure cheered me for telling him off funny how that works!!
