Iamcanadian Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 I drove by Head lake in Haliburton yesterday and saw snowmobile tracks across the lake.It has only been frozen over for a day. What kind of lure do you use to catch a snowmobile in 15 feet of water??
Terry Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 man some people are dumb but I guess they fall though and die and the dumb gene is removed from the gene pool and life goes on
Tdel Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 There always seems to be some guy who has to be the first person to cross a lake, bay or river first every year. Whether it be by foot or machine, sooner or later, they end up in the obituaries. For some reason Terry that gene pool never seems to empty. There is always another one to take their place, but man you are right they aren't very smart when it comes to stuff like this. Tom
troutologist Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 No way its that easy the dumb gene seems to be wide spread especially prevalent in association with the internal combustion engine. you'd think putting a sled through the ice is cheap the way some folks do it.
Dano Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Morons. I tell you one thing, if these idiots go through, I hope no one risks their own lives in an effort to rescue them. Just wave bye bye from shore.
turtle Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Unfortunately for their families. some of these guys have kids and the gene passes on. I was on a lake in Haliburton for 15 years and there were seven winter drownings, three in one incident. My cottage was about 300-400 m from the narrows where they went through the ice. Always at night and mostly with mr. booze on board.
Rizzo Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 its because of idiots like that I have to work on the week-end p.s. I'm a funeral director
lunkerbasshunter Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 they must have been going mach 1 not to go through the ice. Bet they were not letting that sled slow down at all. Sledding on ice that is thin is maybe the dumbest thing they could do on a sled.
fishindevil Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 well they are guys that i read about in the paper,thats just plain stupidness
irishfield Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 (edited) What kind of lure do you use to catch a snowmobile in 15 feet of water?? LARGE treble from the back of an air boat/scoot. Done all winter long on Little Dog channel in Honey Harbour...were at least they can bail and jump to the shoreline before it goes down. Unfortunate...but only a matter of time before the first drowning is announced on the Radio. Two winters ago it was my daughter's (now X)boyfriend's cousin on Orr Lake....and of course at night!

Fisherman Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Small world Wayne, that fellow was related to one of the guys at work here, orinally from Elmvale.
ccmtcanada Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 You said you noticed tracks going OUT in the lake....did you happen to see any coming back in? Maybe they are already fish food!
Kerry Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 I remember that incident too Wayne.The lake had just frozen over Kerry
irishfield Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Yep...the guy he was following made it across though. I drove by there on Thursday and it's iced over...hopefully no repeats this year.
lew Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 Hearing about guys snowmobiling across lakes that they know have only been frozen a couple days and then breaking thru, is kinda like watching Evil Knievel crash his motorcycle while attempting a 300' jump across a bunch of school buses You SORTA feel sorry for them...........but then again...........maybe you don't ??
GbayGiant Posted December 9, 2006 Report Posted December 9, 2006 I find that alot of people go through the ice in a current area were the ice wont get thick. It's always a good idea to know the water your on as well. The guys out on first ice just have no common sense.
cityfisher Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 moronsssss ! you have to be dumb in the head to go on the ice this time of the year... i wont be testing the ice till late january
Beans Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Dang ! They'd need pontoons on their sleds if they tried going across Pigeon Lake at the north end...some lagoons and back bays are frozen over and snow covered but someone other than me can test the thickness...
Nemo Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 Hope they read this thread. Do You Know How To Swim?
icewalker28 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 (edited) Well , let's do the math...... 1 sled = 500lbs. 1 alcoholic= 140 lbs. = 640 pounds. I think 1 " of ice would hold them.....lol I remember people driving cars and trucks past me on the Bog last year for opener on 7" or 8 ". Nothing but travel by foot till at least mid-January.

jason27fish Posted December 10, 2006 Report Posted December 10, 2006 i like the theory of the dumb gene being removed...let them ride
