You think catch and release during ice fishing season has a good rate of survival? I think that's a "feel good" attempt at justifying the harvest of hundreds of pike in an 8 hour day....
My thoughts on cranberry lake having that derby is that they are ruining a natural resource. It's a trophy northern pike lake and they are going to have that derby until there is nothing left..... Just like they did to Meachum. I wish the DEC would see it for what it is and try to regulate it
The number of fish caught at that derby is minuscule compared to the population. The two times I have fished the derby there were only a couple "trophy" fish caught. Let's get the DEC in to harass innocent people fishing for a cause.
The DEC has ruined this derby. Why drive to Wanakena, Cranberry Lake to spend the day worrying that you might get a ticket for taking a load off on the seat of your wheeler with out your helmet on. Its just no fun, I'll stick to either derbies.
uh yea i was out on cranberry today 8 inches of black ice. Caught a couple bluegill and 2 pike. one was 26 inches and another was 28. good luck
