has anyone fished carmi yet. with any luck?

I personally haven't had any luck.. But just gotta keep trying. We are putting on a derby February 13th to donate to our schools FFA, Coke and join for 20$!!

4 of us were out on carmi for the last 2.5 hours of the day Saturday and caught two 8" perch.  Another friend of mine was out there with 2 other guys also on Saturday from 8am-5:30pm.  All 3 were jigging, and they had quite a few tip-ups out and they caught and released one 15" walleye, and they brought home 12 perch.  Not very successful I don't think for 3 guys and almost 10 hours of fishing.

What species for the derby? 

[perchkiller123]

 i think there was another thread on it and i think they said pike and perch, but not 100%

[TroutWhisperer]

Yeah, I found that thread.  It said "pike and panfish".

[TroutWhisperer]

But I'm still wondering if "panfish" is one category or are they doing separate prizes for each species of panfish?

Anyone know what the ice is looking like after the warm up?

Did they have the derby last weekend? how'd everyone make out?

[shadylane]

Pretty sure the pike and panfish derby is this coming weekend

[aquarium234]

I'm sorry, I thought the FFA had a smaller one last weekend. I know there's a big one this coming weekend.

I was there on Sunday, and found the there was virtually no change in the ice from the previous weekend - good 8-9" where I was out from the SP (same area both times, can't speak for the rest of the lake). The only real change was the patchy snow that was there the week before was gone, so creepers were a must.

I was there Sunday too on the south end.

Thanks for the update, glade you guys got out and had some fun :-)

Has anybody caught any consistent eyes up there yet?

[MadflyfishingVT]

Was wondering if anyone fished Carmi before the rain? How thick was the ice and do you think the shoreline will be okay after the rain? Was gonna go tomorrow(Friday) still might, but might wait till Saturday. Has any one caught any good eyes and pike this year? Thanks

[pikeaddict]

I am heading up there Saturday, taking my sister out for some perch.  I thought we were headed to Caspian but she is meeting at my place instead of me at hers, so Carmi it is.  I will be getting on at the state park access.  Curious to know how things are looking after the rain if anyone gets out there today.

I was out in the rain and had no luck the ice never changed there was not much water on the ice
