Bad end to a promising day on Alexanders lake
Message:
Went out to Alexandars lake yesterday to my usuall spot with a good friend of mine. We got on the water around 11:30 and were set up by 12. We were going for trout and had a couple of tipups set up for perch as well on the bottom. We weren't set up for more than 10 minutes when my buddy got a flag and landed a 24inch pickerel on one of the tipups setup on the bottom for perch. A couple of minutes later I had a flag on a tip up that I was running for trout under the ice. Just got finished resetting my tip up when my buddy gets another flag we go over an check and the fish is burning out line. My buddy sets the hook and fights it in he gets the head out of the hole and it was the biggest pickerel i have ever seen in my life. If there were pike in there I would have said it was a pike by the size. Just as he reached down to grab it, the fish bit off his line and fell back in the hole. Day was going great I missed a trout jigging a couple of minutes later. Then the next thing I know there is some guy screaming at us from shore. Mind you we are only about 40 yards out on the ice. He screaming that we aren't lease landowners and that he's going to call the cops on us. Hope your day was worth a ticket. I tried to tell the guy that I had permission to get on the lake where we parked from a friend of mine whos family owns a place. This didn't matter he then proceed to scream even louder that he didn't care who we knew the cops were on there way and we were getting arrested. He didn't want us on his lake unless we lived there. So we just packed up and left instead of having to deal with this nut or the police over some rude idiot that couldn't have come down and talked to us. Im so irritated because I have fished there for over 5 years in the same spot and talk to every one that lives on that part of the lake about fishing and such when the come out on the ice. We left and I went home and dug my buddies number off my old cell and called him about it, and he said he had no clue who the guy was or where he lived on the lake, and the next time just to call him if it happens again. Some people are idiots. It's to bad because we had a total of 3 flags one fish on the ice and missed a couple at the ice jigging and we weren't set up for more than an hour. ;

Hi icetilt! I would suggest that you get your friend to give you a written permission letter indicating who he is with all his pertinent information. That should give you all the legal clearance needed if the incident should happen again :!: Best regards, Seadog1
