craigdritchie Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Not really ice fishing per se, but the remains of an ice fishing season in New Brunswick. It's quite a mess, really. http://www.theweathernetwork.com/news/articles/drone-footage-exposes-trashy-truth-behind-ice-fishing-/50440/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tb4me Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 So why are they all burnt? Do they just burn them when they cant get them off the ice in time? If that crap keeps up they wont allow huts out on the ice much longer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted May 2, 2015 Report Share Posted May 2, 2015 Absolutely disgusting as well as extremely dangerous to boaters. One would have to be nuts to boat in that water after ice out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akaShag Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 (edited) Same thing happened to me on Simcoe about 1987 or so. I had a large ice shack off Big Bay Point and we got a thaw the second week or so of January. Ice travel was impossible by any means except maybe hovercraft and helicopter. The ice did not firm back up until weeks later, and when I could get back out to my shack, the TOP of the floor was more than a foot under the ice surface. It took two of us the better part of a day to wreck the shack and cut it out of the ice with a chain saw and pry bars/etc. We loaded the debris into a trailer and took it to a landfill site where I paid more good money to dump it. I never owned another permanent shack............... The article says the anglers were trying to get their shacks off, but ice conditions had turned unstable. If Simcoe's ice had stayed rotten that year of which I spoke, there would have been no way I could have recovered an eight hundred pound shack. So yes, the mess shown in the video is shocking, but it is clearly NOT intentional.Doug Edited May 3, 2015 by akaShag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myot Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 This is why in the future you'll see a no permanent huts allowed and I'm sure Clam corp and Fraible are licking their lips at that Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
