Title: funny story for cold night
Post by: snowcone on December 16, 2020, 09:01:30 PM
this is a trilogy of funny ice stories..........
many moons back on mogadore 2 friends went ice fishing with me, they never iced fish before. it was about 15 deg , 10 pm in my shanty. the ice was very noisey and about 14 inchs of ice and 6 more in in snow pak lol we had 6 holes and catching fish. now really noisey ice is growing. cracks that night were above average to almost spooky ...well all of a sudden a super crack echoed accross the lake and you could hear it coming kshhhhhhhhhh ran right under us accross all 6 holes, glurped , and shook the shed and keept goin. i think my 2 friends ripped the door off tryin to get out as they scrambled over me...
another tale on skeeter in the shanty , got out to get another gas bottle and noticed it was snowing sideways almost blizzard . another shanty was about 20 yrds away and while watching i saw fish pop out the door and land on the ice... cool i thought but there was a big bird standing there and when a fish popped out that bird gobbled it up, the guys inside had no idea this was happening. well i watched for a minute laughing my butt off every time a fish popped out and mr bird grabbed it hahahaha
and last a group of us walkin out off the parking lot onto the ice at a fav lake , now i have to tell you we had 16 inches of ice . and the trail out was 10 ft wide, ok suddenly we hear oh chit and look over and 1 of the guys was stuck at the waist where he went thru some ones previous dunking, now this guy is big and getting him un plugged was a challange the end

On 13 Feb. 2015 -This was the year we still had 14 in. ice on 8 March. Fished Indian Lake - at Long Island - near the shore of Pony Island. My fishing partner was nearby but did not see the action. I noticed movement to my left 35 - 40 feet away. I looked over and saw what I think was a Great Blue Heron watching me. He was hungry! I gave him one small gill. He then came to 11 - 12 feet of me, stood on one leg and just watched me. I caught another small one tossed it to him which he also gobbled down. Caught a keeper gill and I said " no, you are not getting this one". He still waited. Caught another good one and I said "no, you are not getting this on either". He got disgusted and slowly walked to the shore. Caught another small one . I said, " Hey, here's one". By then, he was 40 yards away. I tossed it onto the ice 20 feet away- he flew right to it and ate that one too! He then went to the shore and disappeared. Kept a few dozen gills, the Heron had three which made my day!!
