[size 5][font "Times New Roman"][#000000]Hi FLY BOY, I respect your input and maybe just maybe you haven’t been ice fishing a whole lot. Maybe you have I dunno and you just haven't seen. [/#000000][/font][/size]
[size 5][font "Times New Roman"][#000000]I have taken children out and allowed children to use my gear…sit in tent and use camera, use our ice flashers and ice rods. Have donated bait and lures to parents and cut holes for parents when their ice auger wouldn’t start or had a manual auger and the ice was too thick for Dad to cut several holes. [/#000000][/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][#000000][size 5] [/size][/#000000][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][#000000][size 5]Now here’s what I’m talking about and have witnessed be fortunate you haven’t…well yet anyways…children running around and finding and ice hole(s) I’ve drilled in the location I’m in and now they are soaking wet…not my fault little Billy or little Suzie fell in…playing star wars with gear like the ice rods were lazars or swords and parents yelling at them but they continue doing it, playing dodge fish similar to dodge ball but throwing fish at each other. Running on slick ice (no snow) falling and knocking teeth out and getting a nice gash/knot on their head and now they are screaming bloody murder. Yet again not my fault… Tripping on my ice stake I had securing my tent and almost hitting the blade of my auger I had next to my tent. Including having one young’n come over and picked up my auger and start banging it on the ice. If I’m in the location for several hours and then have company like that show up…well you can bet I’m going to say something to the parents and I have especially if little Billy or little Suzie help themselves to my gear without my permission. So if you find this type of stuff acceptable well you’re I’m pretty sure in the minority. Then for some reason the fishing shuts down and I wonder why with all the screaming and jumping up and down. [/size][/#000000][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][#000000][size 5]Trust me I have no problem with children as I have 3 and now two grandkids. Hey parents are enjoying with their children as it is fun and great experience to be shared…However the above examples I've witnessed are the result of irresponsible parents and I stand by that.
