I was one of the smart icefisherman who did not venture out onto Lake Erie yesterday. But watching all the different news cast on the TV sure fired me up. All the Sherriff department wanted to do was tell the world how stupid all these guys were, and how he would like to put them all in jail, and how much money it was costing him. How about what a great job everyone did to rescue these fisherman? Icefishing on Erie has been going on for generations and should keep going on for generations. Yes it's dangerous in certain conditions, and yes people didn't use their heads but to make the statements the Sherriff made and the way he made them in my mind was not very profesional. People get into trouble on Erie during the boating season an I don't recall seeing the Sherriff on the national news calling everbody stupid and how much all the money the boaters are causing his department. Bravo to the resquers who did the job perfectly and put it on the line. Shame on the sherriff department for not being more understanding. Big Tee
