If this somehow seems okay for you to do, I just want to let you know that everyone thinks you’re a piece of crap 
Somehow you brought all of this out with you…..but it’s just too much work to bring it off the ice???
Was mommy not there to pick up after you? No worries buddy, I did it for you…..
The ball of mono and wanton waste sunfish were a nice finishing touch.
You don’t get your allowance this week. No sleepovers either.

Put a $20 deposit on those propane cylinders and the pigs will stay home and drink or you will get paid for cleaning up after them.
The one thing I’ve noticed, you never see microbrew cans on the ice. Always the cheapass corporate macro swill.
Unreal. We talk about this on this site every winter. I just can’t fathom that mindset. You’re on the ice because you enjoy the outdoor winter activity of ice fishing. And if you keep doing that, you’re going to destroy it. For some reason, you decided that you’re above cleaning up, and that it can be someone else’s problem.
Good on you for cleaning it up. I wish those TIP lines could be used for things like this as well.
That’s so disappointing.
Thank you B-man from all of us that enjoy our resources. I can’t stand slobs like that. I have property on the river and also pick up a lot of other peoples garbage. Keep on being a good steward so we all can benefit. Good job ! 
And that is why I refill 1lb tanks because of ass hats that do this.
B-man, you’re being too kind.
Not only a slob but a p ussy to. Only 11 cans. Cant even finish a 12 pack.
That is sad though its one thing to accidentally miss something leaving in the dark but that’s obviously not what happened. Wish there was a way to stop that crap.
Never ceases to amaze. Was out on Canal Park bay in Duluth last year and ran across something very similar. Obviously a bunch of fools decided to go ice fishing one day. Apparently the first time in awhile because they had to buy everything new. Left all the things seen in your pic plus all the packaging and paperwork that came along with the new Clam hub house all the lure packaging, cigarette butts etc. etc. Took us awhile to get it all.
Job well don B-man. Kids along to set an example? I always carried an extra t-shirt bag when I took my daughter on the ice and when things got boring for her I’d send here on a pick-up mission and would give her a buck for a full bag.
Around here its spring break when kids are all over the ice without an supervision.
Thanks for doing your part B.

The boys aren’t with today, but believe me, they know better…..and they just turned five….not 45.
They already have a true love for the outdoors, and will help Dad pick up every piece of trash we come across. Doesn’t matter if it’s on the ice, floating on the lake, or in the woods.
They know it doesn’t belong there….and they’re preschoolers….
Some people are just Pigs these days. I was taught from a young age. If you brought it with you – Take it back with you. I helped a sportsman’s club do a Lake clean up late in the ice season shortly after houses had been removed. It was incredible the amount of trash that was left behind. Every trip I take I almost always pick up a garbage bag full of trash on my way off. Far to many people were just not taught right growing up or they just don’t care and become pigs.
Great job B-man of doing more than your share and helping keep out lakes clean.
Like Dan said this topic comes up every yesr.
Bellaire beach on White bear is always bad.
These slobs aren’t sportsman by any stretch of the imagination. It’s just a cheap way to party.
Too stupid to realize that full beers are heavier than empties, same with propane. I have a sincere dislike for this type.
Kudos for not looking the other way
Sad
Ice anglers are notorious for leaving this crap behind, more so than any other band of outdoorsmen. I’m not painting everyone with a broad brush here, but there’s more in this sport than others simply because people stay out there for longer periods of time. A perfect example is the cancellation of the eelpout festival.
Every year I also see this and it gets me so *&^%$#@ 
! But, like you I always clean it up and there is no reason why that person couldn’t have done it for themselves.
That’s sad. It all just comes down to poor sportsmanship. I’ll paint with the same broad brush as gimruis. Compared to open-water anglers and hunters, a much larger proportion of ice anglers tend to be very poor sportsman. It’s just a different breed hitting the ice.
Many are litter-bugs, as we’ve all seen. I’ve seen a car battery left on the ice. A car battery.
The ethics of privacy and giving people a fair amount of space is entirely lost. I’ve had people fish holes I just drilled before I even set the auger down. That’s an Osakis thing, where half the people don’t even bring augers.
Lastly, a huge number of ice anglers are poachers. Look at how so many people wantonly violate possession limits, pile-driving fish into the back corner of their freezer. Is there any other time of the year, or with any other game species, where people just keep whatever they want, regardless of their state laws? Possession limits are basically an honor system. There’s a 0.00% chance of any official checking my freezer or yours. So these abuses are left to occur as a result of poor sportsmanship.
what lake was it B-Man?

I’ll never quit, and I know a lot of guys won’t either.
If a person can drive by a pile of garbage like that and not take 30 seconds of their time to pick it up, they’re just a bystander condoning the act.
An old timer on oxygen pulled up while I was cleaning that mess up today. He threw out a few F-bombs and told me a story about him cold cocking a guy on the snowmobile trail for chucking an empty fifth into the woods lol
I wouldn’t go that far, but I’d love to leave the trash on the guy’s hood.

Chisago county lakes area today, but I’ve seen it everywhere.
A number of years ago I started a “LOST-AND-FOUND” on Balsam Lake. I’ll try to dig up a pic.
I put up a sign at the landing and put all the trash I picked up under it.
Believe it or not, the trash problem decreased near that landing until someone took my sign down.
These same pigs litter when doing other outdoor sports, don’t kid yourself. The garbage just sinks or goes unnoticed in the back country. 
Last summer, near a well known dumping ground by Hastings, some #$% emptied his car of all his trash on a public launch area. The idiot, however, threw away a cancelled check, deposit slip, and a credit card statement if I remember right, along with all his other trash. The sheriff got a little chuckle out of it also. I’ll turn in anyone I see, when I can.

A couple months ago I stopped at Walmart for something small in the automotive department. In the rear parking lot was a cart full of trash and old clothes…..with a purse on top….with an ID…..cash…..AND SOME METH LOL
I gave the purse to the cashier in the automotive department 
Told him the cops shouldn’t have any problem tracking her down lol

I remember when I first bought our land, I bet I picked up over a case of beer cans under one of my deer stands that some idiot just helped himself to using, and they wonder why our land is wallpapered with No Trespassing signs.
If you can’t leave it at least as good as you found it, stay home! Very little pisses me off more than that.
Beyond stupid, not much to add, you did good picking the garbage up . I would talk to the shacks around there someone might know something.
