is it barbless only?

Pollock fish · « **Reply #31 on:** Jan 16, 2015, 07:36 PM »

Good question I would also like to know...

DBK81 · « **Reply #32 on:** Jan 16, 2015, 09:27 PM »

As far as I know this has never been barbless and this year would be no different, no need to pinch those hooks.

nicemustang · « **Reply #33 on:** Jan 17, 2015, 12:38 AM »

Why would it be barbless??

ToonFisher · « **Reply #34 on:** Jan 17, 2015, 01:01 AM »

Why? All my winter hooks are pinched, just to protect myself.

Anyone else en route to the derby today? Let's have a quick roll call.

Just leaving Birch Hills now, little later than we wanted but we'll be there.

DBK81 · « **Reply #38 on:** Jan 17, 2015, 04:37 PM »

525 register fishers, 72 fish caught, super super slow! Biggest was a 7ish pound pike that paid out over $5,000.

Another top notch event by the LL Lions club, fish weren't snapping though.

Good derby we'll run. Prizes getting bigger every year with more people. But twice the peop almost last year and half the fish caught as last years. Still enjoyed just a sklow slow day.

Was a great tourney and best of all a 4 year old girl won it.

BlueDevil · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 17, 2015, 05:28 PM »

Awesome tourney! Hats off to the event organizers and the volunteers, job well done!

I was able to catch a 1.45lbs Walleye shortly after fishing started.

Arcom · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 17, 2015, 05:50 PM »

I will say I could have done without the three snowmobiles buzzing around the very outside and inside the fishing area, very loud and annoying, I've got a loud and annoying sled myself but there is a time and place to have them, and a fishing derby isn't one of them.

coltcurtis · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 17, 2015, 07:25 PM »

I agree...was annoying they scared my fish away lol

Pollock fish · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 17, 2015, 08:10 PM »

YA last year they were i top of no vehicles in the fiahing area or sleds nothin but the half dozen trucks for weigh station purpose. This year they didn't do nothing. The biggest eye was 3.2 lbs I belive and smallest fish was a 0.21 walleye. This year had almost twice the people compared to last year and almost half the fish caught as last year so it was a slow day all around out there.

bigk · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 17, 2015, 09:53 PM »

Managed to get a 2.42 pound walleye on my dead line with a 5 inch smelt........... Not what I expected to come out of the hole but got a nice jacket for random prize. Was with the guy that won the propane jiffy auger. He is wondering if there are any offers for it he doesn't fish much. $630 sticker on it.

For the future. Just a thought. Maybe start a half hour earlier. Say 9:30 or even 9. Done at 2 ?

Pollock fish · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 18, 2015, 12:07 PM »

Less sleds and vehicles in the fishing area sleders came close to hitting my rod and tip ups a few times.

colt25 · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 18, 2015, 12:48 PM »

Buddy actually did get his tip up ran over by a sled. Other than that it was a well organized and great tournament. Can't wait for next year.

DBK81 · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 18, 2015, 02:02 PM »

This was the first time in 5 years I've seen sleds being a problem, but they were a problem this year.

snuff · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 18, 2015, 02:16 PM »

Best run tournament I have ever been at. Don't change a thing especially hours. Some of us have a long drive in morning. Hours are same for everyone. It is a Derby.

Absolutely cannot move it ahead it's not possible to get everyone through registration in time. Makes it very difficult task in the dark as well. Also very hard to control skidoo traffic not related to derby, people are free to go where they want, visiting or whatever.

Pollock fish · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 18, 2015, 08:21 PM »

3 of the sleds flying around where three kids in a big red perminate shack that I'm guessing are locals. They would not stop fling around even in the fishing area durring the derby right beside me.

saskarcher · « **Reply #58 on:** Jan 19, 2015, 03:04 PM »

most derbies if you are not fishing you are not allowed on the derby area

Pollock fish · « **Reply #59 on:** Jan 19, 2015, 04:17 PM »

My point exactly they where in out n everywhere the three kids on sleds n where fishing right beside me
