Im pretty sure that my buddy is wrong, but he was saying they just last min cancelled the tourny. I think he is wrong as i called the Lomond hotel and the day before and they still had tickets. so i would have thought he might mention someting.
|
They are selling tickets haven't heard anything about cancelling it.
|
Was out saturday and went to get some tickets for a buddy and they only had 2 left and i took one. Was looking at the forecast for the next two weeks and its supposed to be pretty warm. The boat launch was already starting to get a bit sketchy. i am wondering if they are going to cancel it because of that. I would say if the forecast is right the tourney will be cancelled.

Derby is 10 days away ice is good so far. one year we had to walk on only for the derby as the ice was crappy.
|
I would just keep an eye on the website to see if anything changes. I really hope it goes on. Been looking forward to going all year.
|
Just a little info regarding the derby. Also, zero chance the ice is 2.5 feet thick....

With regards to 2012 the following statement is false
"The ice fishing derby has only been cancelled once that she knew of, back in 2012 when a warm winter created ideal conditions for about half a dozen trucks to break through the ice. " 2012 was the year of the blizzard. People couldn't see 5ft infront of themselves and were unfortunately driving into the breakers. And the ice on the weekend was great. Had 28". My friend's 6yr old caught an 11.5 pike! Here's hoping it IS as warm as it was in 2010 when we were in overalls an a t-shirt in lawn chairs! Sure, we may be pushin a lil slush around on the surface during the day, but that jus makes for better foot traction :P Weather report is calling for -10 an -12 at night :) |
OK
Was there yesterday and 19 inches where we were sitting and the top top 2 a bit on the white side. Lots of creaking all day and some nasty jump out the tent ones too. Supposed to cool off after tomorrow so should be good on the weekend. Maybe lose and inch or so today and tomorrow but may gain it back.

2012 Unfortunately people were driving into the ice breakers long before the snow and wind hit. Managed to stop a van from driving directly into the big one running North and south or it would have been a recovery mission not a rescue. Had to point them in the direction of the North shore so they could get off the ice. F&W had to pull out a truck and a quad with the help of the fishing party on the opposite side of the breaker from where we were and these breakers were piled up 6-8 feet high in 2 mile visibility.

Friday and early Saturday were fine until the wind hit and that's when there were navigational errors, derby was cancelled that afternoon when the motorhome dropped through the ice. F&W may have played a part in the cancellation. Can't blame them with the lack of common sense that was going on.
|
Yesterday (SE corner) there was 22" of good ice. Lots of vehicles on ice in NW corner, but didn't go there.
|
Anyone have weight reports yet? Couple little ones for us so far
|
What's the Ice like? People driving on?
|

This better be B'S. I went to the a weight station with one that was 9.6 on my scale and he wouldn't even weight it because he said it was under 10 pounds. He said if it wasn't 15 lbs don't bring it to weigh station. There were lots of 11 ,12 lbs brought in he said. Hummmmmmm These guys got to remember there is only 300 lines in water not 1000 this year. |
