We made a fish house (ice shanty).. we would spear (legal) and fish in and around it...
My brother drilled 25 holes.. and put lines down each one with a bonnet on them.. instead of fishing tackle he tied a nail to each line..
Then he sat by another hole and fished.. we all knew it would be a short wait for the warden as he seemed to follow my brother for some reason..
I never had this problem..
The warden showed up about 90 minutes later..
He asked my brother ( I wAs minding my own business in the fish house listening to all this)...
“whose lines are those?”
Brother: “mine”
Warden:” you can only fish with one line”..
My brother never stops fishing and says “ I know”...
Warden then tells my brother to pull them up..
Brother,” if you want them up you pull them up”...
The warden pulls one up and sees the nail then another. My guess is he thought it was a decoy line and some had hooks..
Warden is po’d and says “what are you planning to catch on nails”..
My brother says “suckers”..
Again my brother was in trouble .. the warden went immediately to the farm and saw Dad.. hour later my brother lost fishing privileges from Dad for a month,,,
I have no idea why the warden harassed my brother so much, c
We used to have a patrolman in town that was obsessed with aliens. . crop circles that sort of thing.
It didn't take long for the teenagers to find this out and take advantage. .
Someone I know. .I shall not name names.. Bought a big spotlight and cut out a ufo shape and fixed it to the spotlight so whenever the guys wanted to race their hot rods, someone could stay behind and get the patrol car out of town chasing flying saucers.
Worked every time.
