chris.brock Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) took the "slush buggy" out to the hut I planned on staying past dark to see if the ling would cooperate so I lit the red neck woodstove a couple lakers before dark a ciscoe too all fish released playing video games like Brian after dark, I had fish regularly chasing the glo spoon, with minimal contact, I'm assuming these were ling, I tried a live minnow too but no takers any ideas or input? I guess they could have just been not very active? they totally stopped coming around about 1.5 hours after dark, and I didn't mark a single fish interesting story- A cottage neighbor puts his hut out last weekend, lights his stove to warm the place, locks the door and goes to town for minnows. He had a 2 burner stove, he assumes 1 burner was lit, the other burner was on but not lit, just spewing propane. BOOM! Somebody heard the blast and saw the fire, they assumed someone was in there, the OPP and the CO soon showed up I was hoping to get a picture for you guys but he brought whats left of the hut home to see if he can repair it Edited January 13, 2014 by chris.brock
kickingfrog Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Nice lakers and whitefish. Ling have always been an incidental catch for me, so no help there. Scary about the hut.
misfish Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 whitefish. Wow one lucky fella that was. Scary crap. Nice fish and how did you know that tank was empty before you cut it? Is there a pipe on top?
solopaddler Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Slush doesn't look too brutal, nice fish bud. Crazy story about your neighbours hut, wow.
irishfield Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Nice fish Chris! Why I shudder every time I see the red safety light button taped down on the sunflower burners because the thermo is toast. It's there for a reason... He may have lite both burners.. and one went out on the close of the door.
chris.brock Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Posted January 13, 2014 Wow one lucky fella that was. Scary crap. Nice fish and how did you know that tank was empty before you cut it? Is there a pipe on top? I filled the tank with water first here's a pic showing the pipe
SirCranksalot Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 I guess if he stuck around he would have smelled the propane and taken care of the situation.
Rustic-Fisher Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Nice pics ! Chum with Salted minnows , then slip a couple salties on a hook and it should be ling after ling.
lew Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 Shows just how easily a fun day can sometimes turn nasty. Good to hear your bud was away from the hut when she blew Chris.
iFish4real Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 sorry for the dude but kinda strange...if burners are close, the one that's out would lit from the one burning, I've seen that on BBQs, his burnurs must have been far from each other...
misfish Posted January 13, 2014 Report Posted January 13, 2014 I filled the tank with water first here's a pic showing the pipe You can use that as a hunting shack too.LOL Thanks for the reply Chris. And yes,the video game is fun,but can be frustrating.LOL
Beans Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Reminds me of a time back in the late '60s...a couple of guys asked us to keep an eye on their tent out on Lady Simcoe while they took their morning catch in to the local grocery store to sell...$0.45 a lb. for whitefish and $0.39 a lb for herring (the 2 lb size -sand herring?) We heard a loud bang and when we looked there was steam pouring from the tent...seems they left a tin of Habitant vegetable soup (unopened) on the stove...looked like someone had barfed all over the inside...LOL
livinisfishin Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Looks like it was a good way to spend an evening. Im going to try a night session soon. That is scary about your neighbour..guess thats why the instructions say something about not leaving it unattended and lit. Very lucky ! Was it a coleman style 2 burner?

Was it a coleman style 2 burner? yeah, coleman style 2 burner, the burners are fairly far apart, there was some air drafting in because he hadn't yet piled snow along the bottom of the hut, I'll try to get a picture of the damage up later
livinisfishin Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 I forgot to ask in my first post..do you use a pink and white cyclops often? Pretty good success usually?
Sinker Posted January 14, 2014 Report Posted January 14, 2014 Crazy about buddies hut....I prefer a woodstove to gas anyday! Nice fish! S.
Tim Mills Posted January 18, 2014 Report Posted January 18, 2014 Nice report glad your neighbour wasn't " blowed up real good"
EC1 Posted January 18, 2014 Report Posted January 18, 2014 Hopefully your neighbor gets the hut back in working order before the ice melts! Had a trip of trying to chase ling myself this week, and failed miserably as well! I was able to catch a few lake trout well past dark - that was a first for me. They lazily came in and nipped at my glow spoon. I thought for sure those were ling until I reeled them up and heard the burping. Let's compare notes over a couple of PM's about how you find the ling nearing the end of the season!
wormdunker Posted January 18, 2014 Report Posted January 18, 2014 Scary stuff about the hut exploding. I recently read a post about carbon monoxide. Glad I purchased the "Buddy" heater because of the built in safety devices.
