If the average fishermen can catch a couple fish then a good ice fishermen can catch a couple dozen or more. I don't really mind the crowds, it's the people that crowd me after I'm slamming fish. I guess they think I've got the only good fishing spot in the lake. I usually end up moving to a new spot and keep on catching. I made the mistake last year of showing a kid, that didn't catch anything all day, the tricks and gear to catching them. The next weekend I was up there, everybody had the same crap on and doing my technique. It's not like its anything special but it sucked after that. It doesn't matter to me that the kid told everybody how to catch them but that he wanted to know what I was using after he ruined the first one. Either way I get a kick out of fishing in crowds so I can scream fish on, over and over.
