Ice Pranks

The gun got me thinking….

What kind of pranks do you have you played on the ice, going fishing this weekend may get a little bored at some point

Chucking snowballs at your buddies tip up to set off the flag is always fun. So is loosening the drag on his reel when he goes out to pee.

The old minnow in the rum and coke, put there when victim went out to took a leak, was taught to me by some very wise fishermen in a hut on LOTW. The real challenge was to not crack up when the victim took a sip. Mwaaaahaahahahaa!!

Ice scoop on your victim’s line when they go out to take a leak

Seems to me you didn’t do to well in this area…That was Mr Matt Grow wasn’t it? I believe he’s drinking white wine now a days.

Old Matt, he said that the Captain preserved the salty…

“Did the minnow die of alcohol poisoning?”

When your buddy’s taking a nap sneak over and tie your line on to his. Every now and then give your rod a jerk. He will think he has a bite. But the sucker is on the real end.

A couple years back at the Forest Lake ice fishing tournament we tied a pop can to our buddies line when he went to take a leak.

The guy wasn’t a very avid fisherman but still knew the chances of getting a bite that day were slim to none. When he came back and noticed that his bobber dissapeared he freaked out, set the hook and put on a show! A group of bystanders soon gathered around to whatch him haul up a lake water filled mountain dew!

The look on his face was priceless!

An oldy but goody, is shouting FLAG DOWN, and watch people slip and slide for a brief moment! It usually works once, maybe twice during a trip out on the ice.

Brat on a guys tip-up when he took a nap after eating and too many beers.We go out and put a brat on his hook and put the flag up and yell tip-up to wake him up. He was the youngest in a group of 21 guys tip-up fishing for northerns in the back waters of lacross and he would run about 100 yards to get it .

It is fun to learn you neighbors tip up pager combo and see how many times you can run them out of the cabin.

An oldie but goodie is of course to drive your 4 wheeler or snowmobile up to his portable shack, [censored] for a bit then say goodbye and hook the rope to your machine and give him a ride. Gotta be careful he doesn’t have a propane heater going, that could be dangerous.

These are great! I hope I can remember a couple of em.

This wasn’t an ice prank, but we have a place here commonly known as ‘the inlet’, where they let water into a lake (genius, I know). Some days the water is really pouring into the lake. There’s always a couple guys up in the fast water with big rods/reels for cats. Some guys just leave em and then go up top and sit in their trucks for a while, where you can’t even see the water hardly. My dad goes over, reels one in, ties a 5 gallon bucket to it. The guy fought that ‘fish’ for nearly 2 hours my dad said.

My late uncle had a habbit of leaving his sucker decoy in the spear house hole over night.

The FW and I had permission to use it anytime we wanted. We fished for walleyes at night…so when we left, we took off his big decoy sucker and replaced it with one of my walleye suckers…which was about 1/3 the size.

I heard he took a double take when he got back to the house..
