Pine lake ice fishing derby
 
I remember a few years back there was a pine lake ice fishing derby, does that still happen? and when is it.

TundraBuck 01-02-2009 01:35 PM

It was in mid-february. Scotty's used to put it on, but they sold the resort this past summer. Not sure if the new owners will continue with it or not. I guess we'll find out. There was some pretty decent prizes and for a $10 entry fee you can't go wrong.

If they decide not to maybe we could get together and get one going ourselves. Anyone interested??

TundraBuck 01-02-2009 05:26 PM

I would be in for that. Know a few guys in Red Deer who would be in too.

Battery 01-02-2009 07:09 PM

yea me and a couple friends would be in forsure.

It used to be on the Family Day long weekend. I believe it was always on the Sunday.

TundraBuck 01-02-2009 09:57 PM

Yep. 18th/19th somewhere in there?

Pine Lake Derby
 
We were the previous owners of Scotty's and wish to thank everyone whom supported us in the 17 years at our Derby. We raised over $13,000 for various charities during this time. We have heard that the new owners are going to have a derby and it will be on the Sunday of the family day weekend. We will not enter the derby but will be on the lake stop by for a visit. Earl and Doreen

Thanx for all the good time in the past derbys Its going to be extreamly hard to fill your footsteps. You guys did a great job I was happy to be a part of it. I can only hope the help towards the great charities you helped continues. The derby has become some what of a family tradition for us so we will give it a try this season and see if its worth continuing.

EBJ: Great to see that you and Doreen are alive and kickin ! May I say that you sure know how to run the Family Day Derby and bought smiles to many up and coming young Anglers. You guys will be missed......

new to fishing in Alberta and would like to know where the best places to fish on Pine Lake are.

EBJ 01-05-2009 10:39 AM

Thanks for the positive feedback. For twenty years we just told people to follow the crowd and/or look for lots of old holes the guys look around a lot and keep moving. If you don't get a bite in ten or fifteen min. MOVE. There are no bad fishing spots , just ones with no fish. Earl

yup we camped at leisure for 8 years, til' captain douche bought the campground (got kicked out 2 years after his rein of terror on young people began (rick)). Spent tonssss of time fishing on that lake, theres fish everywhere just gotta find them on that day, i always had good luck over by the slalom ski course by leisure by the shore on the weed edges, opposite side of the slalom course. theres a few good perch spots right along that edge and good pike in the deeper part near the center of the lake in that spot. And walleye everywhere

The one I was at in the past was fairly laid back. You sign in at 8 am or so then go drill your holes and fish away. You bring your catches back in a bucket for weigh in at scotty's and hope you have a winner. I'm sure theres a bit more to it but that's how i remember it going down.

fish on 01-05-2009 02:05 PM

cool, I've been torturing myself watching you tube videos watching them jig for perch with those hali jigs , too cool can't wait. do you know who to contact

Battery 01-05-2009 02:52 PM

tbosch 01-05-2009 02:55 PM
