And again, the comments at the end of the article from the readers say a lot.

Give it up already...it's been a horrible year, why end it with something much worse?

 

Season's over...go get your boats ready for after the ice is gone...which won't be long.

Let's wait for the bleeding hearts to chime in and tell us these guys made a simple mistake, nothing more.

[Harrison]

They were just trolling.

Well now it's just getting stupid

[whiskywizard]

In the various rescue reports, there's often a line talking about possible charges and fines. Does anybody know what violation(s) they could be charged with? I'm not aware of any that apply. Or is it some goofy municipal bylaw?

[Dan668]

They were just trolling.

 

Gotta try this technique out, no motor. Silent

[fishingwithbob]

They should know better and just bring an electric trolling motor with them, they could rescue themselves.

Floating on a 1 inch thick sheet of ice!?!?

 

Crazy! I would want at least 3 inches.

The Adams St and the 25th SdRd is just south of IBP and yesterday this was ALL Wide open.

 

I guess that could be where the Fire Dept caught up to them and they actually started their drift off the Sixth.

I noticed on CP24 this morning that they are talking about fining the folks from last week's rescue $100.00 each.

I know that that amount doesn't come close to the actually cost of the rescues... but I'd like to know what the charge would be... ?

[davey buoy]

I'm not judging ,but comon,REALLY?

[Roy]

I'd make up a charge. But I'd start with negligence then go to criminal negligence if a rescuer was killed.

[dobee]

im judging, COME ON PEOPLE, use your heads out there!

[SirCranksalot]

The competition for the 2012 Darwin awards is heating up!!

[Rod Caster]

They must think they are polar bears. Why else would you be fishing on pack ice?

[NAW]

It's not over. More morons will need to be rescued on Simcoe this year.

[BillM]

Canadian Tire should start selling these in the icefishing section.

 

[torco]

These guys are making us (anglers) look bad...I can't believe how stupid people are and I don't think that is harsh.

[danbouck]

I love the last part

 

"Provincial police remind anglers to have ice hunts off lakes by March 15"

[jedimaster]

Would be interesting if one of these two was one of the previous 26.

I guess if the had a power auger they could hang it off the back of the floe and giver to shore?

This just goes to show that "You can't fix stupid!!!"

The charge they should be hit with is Criminal Stupidity in the first degree!!!

[bigugli]

There are numerous charges that could be laid. Mischief, endangerment, or negligence clauses that cover any act, or failure to act, which causes damage, harm, or public risk.

[Fisherman]

They must have been eating genetically modified stoopid food this morning. More javex in the gene pool.
