each to there own but if you are going to the burbot bash and have never fished lost dog before there's a lot of ice but with what looks to be well over 100+ anglers there at the bash I would recommend leaving the dogs at home this time because it will be elbow to elbow or very close quarters night fishing.
I to have a dog and he's a friendly one to but if he were on the ice he would be into everything and some dogs owners just let them run free and I to have had dogs wrapped up in my fishing poles busting the tip off one of them and trying to pee on my shack and fishing poles and eat my bait out of the sled. All that did was make hard feelings. When the owner came over to get his dog he was pissed when he saw his dog with one of my jigs in his ear and proceeded to tell me that I was going to pay the vet bills for that and he was'nt going to pay for my broken pole because I should'nt have had it in that pole holder on my shack were he could get tangled in the line and get hooked in the ear. that made me laugh and did'nt help the situration at all.
Well I did'nt get a new pole and I did'nt pay the vet bills either but what was a good day sure turned into a nightmare for me out fishin by myself 200+ yards away from them and I had been there for 5 hrs before them.
Don't take it the wrong way not all dog owners are that way but with a big gathering and lots going on it's hard for a dog not to get into some mischief out there. happy fishing and good luck where ever you ice fish this year.
