Unfortunately, some people think they own the lake...and all the fish....or all the deer, ducks, elk and pheasants.

Lol. I was thinking the same.. it's all good I just found a better location.. I started this thread to get an idea of the respectable distance i should stay away from my neighbors while fishing.

The ones I like are when I am bank fishing and Mr. Bass Fisherman comes up in $$$$$$ boat and has to fish next to me, dude you have the whole lake. Nothing against all you bass fisherman, but some are butt heads.

I just make it a habit of fishing as far as I can from other people (within reason) and still achieve my goal. The exception is when I am invited to join someone on sight. They are usually nice people and make good company or long time friends.

Saw you are taking the correct method of reasonable communication but from past experience ice fishermen usually have Jim Beam along and tend to be a bit rowdy. They may have been spearing also and that requires you give them some distance. That or you can take your pit bull along on the trip.

i'm not n ice-fisherman but i noticed people above talking about reasonable distance and that since you all are not casting you could be closer together. I think casting distance has nothing to do with ice-fishing distance-of-separation. i think it has more to do with the potential noise you can make near their set-up. they have probably ben there a while and hope that the fish have grown accustomed to their presence, so when you come into the picture that can start the whole wait all over again. i would stay quite a long way apart, 100 yards or more. but that's just my two sense. mylatest issue of in-fisherman, which just arrived today, talks about fish on open water spooking at all sorts of motion, even down to 20 feet, to things like trolling motor noise (which the author says is quite noisy),sonar pings, etc. if this is true on open water, where there would probablybe a lot more other sounds in hearing distance of the fish, i would think that it would be even more true in ice-fishing. but that's just my two cents.
