It totally depends on your dog. I have a yellow lab that I only take ice fishing when I know Im going to a spot where I won't run into many people. I took him to Jordanelle once and he kept running over to the people next to us and eating their perch they had laying on the ice. I ended up having to chain him to my chair all day and then I couldn't move or he would just drag my chair around with him. He is the friendliest dog ever, but has to show how friendly he is by visiting everyone around us that is ice fishing as well! He tangles lines and eats your bait! I havn't seen the movie Marley and me, but it sounds like my lab could have played the part to perfection! So if I was going to go to the bash where there were a bunch of people fishing, I wouldn't even think about the chance of ruining everyone elses trip, including mine, due to my dog. But, if your dog minds her own business, will stay if you tell her to, doesn't bother other dogs that might be there, and can handle being stuck in an ice hut all day, then I say take her along they love being on the ice!
