Name something that annoys you while Ice Fishing

I went out walleye fishing recently and got set up around 4:00am. with my portable shack. I set two tip-ups out. I had one ten yards directly in front of my shack and one more ten yards past that. I put LED lights by both tip-ups so I could see them in the dark. At 5:00am two guys pull up in a truck 75 yards straight in front of me and set up tip-ups between their truck and me. I've got no problem with how close to me they were (I wouldn't have cared if they were 50 yards closer) but they left their headlights on the entire time pointed directly at the front of my shack. Even with the LED lights on my tip-ups I could no longer see them. I quit fishing twice to start my vehicle and turn my headlights on (even flashed the brights) but they still never shut their headlights off until after it was light. I think I'm still seeing spots!

Tangled and knotted up line. Sometimes I can't figure out what's going on and why the tangle/twist is occurring. I just cut it out of frustration but it feels a lot better when I can be successful and untangle the line. 

Does your ion battery handle cold very well?  I use a cordless drill much of the time but if I forget to keep the battery warm then I use my gas auger.

Gas augers.  Ion/electric is the way to go.  I was out very early this am before the crowds (with my Ion).  About an hour after I got there....we’ll u can u here it can’t you?

Doesn’t annoy me when I’m ice fishing but when I’m looking at ice fishing message boards...the inability of people using a search function. So many redundant drill, boot, flasher, auger, etc topics. Learn how to search people...

Worse yet are the brand fan boys who flood those topics with “my brand is better than your brand, yours sucks, mine doesn’t.” 

...but perhaps the biggest annoyance are those who don’t bother to read posted fishing regulations. Again, search functions are your friend and you can find out if Lake X has any special regulations on your own a heck of a lot faster than posting a question and waiting for a response. Here’s what you throw into google for Wisconsin: “WDNR fishing regulations.” Simple as that...happy reading. 

When you catch a fish and then you drop back down and try to check the vex only to find the fish splashed water all over it and you can't see very well. Hate that.

People driving over my tip up line and then parking between my pop up and the tip ups and then asking me if I can see my tip ups around him... Thanks buddy

Not catching fish

Forgetting the beer

OTHER PEOPLE THAT SETUP RIGHT NEXT TO YOU WHEN THERES A WHOLE LAKE

Forgetting the beer

Bait dies to fast

Coleman Propane tanks die half full and have to thaw them to use again

Buddys that kick over your stuff

forgetting the beer

When the guy 5 to 10 ft away comes out of his flip over and asks if you will watch it while he looks for 2 more fish, and his are 2 inches bigger than yours, and you only have 8 to his 23. Been on both sides though.

CIGARETTE BUTTS ON THE ICE. I'm a smoker and you won't find any of my cigarette butts on the ice.

GARBAGE ON THE ICE. 

If you bring anything out with you, make sure it leaves with you....       

Pretty sure with these new fangled smart phones you can set different ringers for different people or contact groups.  Set up a distinctive ringer just for your work contacts.  The others will get the hint when you instantly voice mail them. 

Same here. I just text them back and say that I will call them back later. Mrt. 

I wish but need to be reachable in case of work issues basically all the time. 

Or you could turn your phone off and enjoy the quiet. 

People calling me because they know I am out fishing and want to know how they are biting. 

I don't mean people who are fishing same area and keeping in touch with to help each other get on good bites.  I mean people who are sitting on the couch and think they should waste my fishing time and interrupt my ability to fish effectively because they are bored and want to shoot the breeze.  My father in law is a big offender.

Don't bother me while I'm trying to fish call me in the evening or something.
