Ice Fishermen Beware!!!

[darkpassenger13]

Just thought all should know the local meatheads are breaking into shacks on Chisago and S. Lindstrom already, so leave nothing out there... They are trashing them as well, myself and about eight other surrounding perminants were hit last night .

Why people gotta spoil the fun is beyond me. One day I'll be out there waiting in the dark

[Deershooter]

Sorry to here about that. I have had it happen to me twice in the last 12 years. Hopefully this doesn't make it three times. I have my house on Chisago right now. I will be checking on it tomorrow when i head out after work. What area are you in?

[GSP4ME]

We caught some little [PoorWordUsage] out on Fawn Lake doing that two nights ago. My bro had mentioned to me that he saw some kids walking really close to the houses and trying to look through the windows when he was out there fishing. A couple of home owners were notified and asked to just keep an eye open. Sure enough about 2200 I get a phone call saying that the kids were in one of the houses on the lake. we called Chisago county sheriff and then beat feet to get down there and caught the little suckers.Held them there until two deputies showed up and took them into custody. Like you said why do they have to act like that

That's great! Good work.

Exactly why I do not own a permanent house anymore.

At least not a very nice one.

I would not suggest sitting in a dark fish house, as someone suggested.

My self as well as another that I know of had their perms run over in the night.

This was NOT by accident. They wrapped a chain or rope around mine and pulled it apart. (Forest Lake)

Years later someone just flat out ran over and through my buddies house.

His happened to be an expensive and well built unit.

There was nothing inside either house.

My bud got a call the next morning from the Sheriff informing him he had better pick up the debris of his former fish house, or face a fine for littering. (Rush lake)

He had no idea his house had been hit.

Not sure I would turn the perps over to the law as I would much rather deliver a well deserved beat down.

Nice! Good job, would be nice if more stories turned out this way.

[darkpassenger13]

What area are you in?

...In the channel for now, I'll be the one in the shack with no lights on waiting quietly

[Deershooter]

My house was fine. I have nothing of value in it. I just wanted to make sure it didn't get messed up.

[Stringerless!]

Sons brand new propane bottle got stolen on Forest.

[FishermanD]

I bet I know the little brats that did it. Used to be a senior photographer for that area, I know a lot of the families and their trouble makers. The things I know that they don't think I do. I'll be sure to keep an ear out if I hear anything. I'm sick of it. Makes me not want to put my permanant out this year. They just ruin the fun.

Hello

Hounds an I were sitting in my turck in narrows for half hour bout 3:30 pm. People watching an talking to a few people seen my name on truck an want to pet hounds or just talk.

Seen a house tan in color right out from ramp mid channel looked like door busted in. Way sad an made me mad inside. Whats the point...just mean ^%$##@! To bad Sheriff can't patrol the lakes...cost to much maybe ....but should be some way to cut this dump out.

Years ago when on green you colud only access the lake thru Hackels resort or lil green an go thru channel. Not to many troubles with Perms then. But when Hackels split an launch was put in where their resort was all kinds of troubles with perms then. Our 8x8 would get hit three times a winter an we never kept a thing in it so the would wiz or dump in holes or leave beer bottle top in hole to mess with augers.

Kid stuff....weak an silly. Anyway!

We did not have to much luck ever catching anyone but few did get busted from shore linving folks that had homes an kept eye out...

Suks to see this.

Up Vermilion houses seldom to never ever get touched.

Different world.

Stinky people ruin the fun.

I today in the short period of time also notice with no snow on ice trucks an cars on opisite side driving 40 MPH plus inbetween lakes. That is really not good if they understood what actually happens under the ice in shallow water.

Should maybe be a 10 MPH speed limit...Com on Man....where ya gotta go in a hurry unless yer bleeding to death.

Enjoyed hangin out a meeting a few nice people an their kids.

Hounds all smiles also.

Maybe this week I hit the ice for some fun but stay clear of the people all in a hurry an such.

If ya see us on the lake in my big black chey..come on over an hang....always good to meet new people an have some laughs.

Be safe.

Tommy,

That shack with the door smashed in was two shacks to the east of mine. The #$!$#$# that broke into my shack started with mine and worked their way down the channel to the east, three of them in street shoes going off the footprints. Some of these shack owners are still unaware of the damage to their shacks it seems. I would put a trail cam in mine if I didn't think it would get stolen as well, And I'm pretty sure a paint bomb would be illeagal...

I hate fishing in the middle of large groups of shacks, but it seems that is the best solution to this issue. Make freinds with your neighbors and watch eachothers backs when houses are not occupied.

I know that fish house burglery is not a major crime as far as the criminal system is concerned, but these theives should be aware of the untold vengence a fisherman could administer in the middle of the night......

[metro fisherman]

I think the trail cam is a good idea but not much would come from the photographs. We could start a wall of shame for people to watch out for but the police wouldnt do much with a few pictures... Then there would be missing trail cams too. I dont own a permanent house but i always keep an eye out for suspicious activities. I feel it is my duty to watch out for fellow sportsman as i know they return the favor. This kind of activity angers me and i even feel uneasy about leaving my truck at landings where i cant see it from the lake. I dont keep valuables in it but they dont know that and a smashed window would really ruin a good day on the lake...

[Huey]

It would be a big wall of shame.

This stuff has been going on for years. I had 2 shacks ruined up there; one badly vandalized, the other torched. My buddies also had a very nice mille lacs style house burned. That was about 15 yrs ago.

Never again.

[davidbigreelz]

I dont own a perm specifically for this reason, but my question is this, most lakes are pretty well built up around with houses, you would think one of those people would see it goin on, do they just not care since its not their stuff getting ripped off(modern american condition from what ive seen) or are these theives really that sneaky? Ild like to think i would stop someone until cops got there but then again.... But really whats wrong with defending innocent peoples property. I think if you see punks messing around with houses, go stop em.

Its the same deal though with alot of metro area shore fishing spots too. Your car is really aa sitting target.

[Muskiemanzan13]

Why people do this is just beyond me. I am in the same boat as davidbigreelz here...

[otterman91105]

This just doen't make any sense. Make's a guy not want to even leave a nice wheel house on a lake overnight.
