Probably not a bad idea if it's true

Sawyerjosh · « **Reply #3 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 04:57 PM »

Ya, where is an official notice??? Where did you hear that? If it is cancelled, is it opened statewide? Need more info and some verification.

consider it a donation to some worthy charities and write it off on your taxes.

lovtofish · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:19 PM »

Why didn't they cancel it after news of the warden going through yesterday?

Mike G · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:20 PM »

You won't be the only one who needs a binki.

There's no way around bad ice conditions. Tomorrow is suppose to be even warmer.

Flatlander2Fisher · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:20 PM »

Make it a statewide

JimP · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:24 PM »

They did the right thing. Everyone had the same chance today to win. Let's not forget this is a fundraiser for a very worthy cause and how much work Tom puts into putting this together. It was called off by the Fire Dept not him. I'm sure nobody is more disappointed than Tom.

lovtofish · « **Reply #19 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:26 PM »

I believe it was called off by the Cumberland County Sheriff Dept. for the safety of the the people.
GOOD CALL!

SebagoSlayer · « **Reply #20 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:28 PM »

I dont know about you but im mad about it. Because of a select few people who cant take a few mins and be careful they ruin it for everyone. Pressure ridges change through out the day and always should be checked. Fourwheelers and sleds aren't needed out there anyway this year there simply not enough ice i can walk just as fast as them because they need to keep stopping and checking the ice while i keep motoring along. just my .02

hardwatergrampa · « **Reply #21 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:29 PM »

lets give derbyguy some time iam sure once they sort this all out he will be on with a post better to shut it down then to have someone killed remember a few years back when they did cancel it everyone was crying i know what safe and unsafe ice is d if ya do and d if ya dont ive seen a few of the people out there after a few brews i too think they may have saved a life

troutnstout · « **Reply #22 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:30 PM »

Probably a good idea, it was getting bad out there.

Although I feel bad for those of us that 'travel safe' and would have been just fine on Sunday...

Whitetailtrouthunter · « **Reply #23 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:33 PM »

There is litaraly people in the water as we speak trying to get rescued

Boats and all

newenglandbassfishing · « **Reply #24 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:37 PM »

There was way to many people out there today that just didnt use there heads that spoiled the chance for us all

troutnstout · « **Reply #25 on:** Feb 20, 2010, 05:43 PM »

From WCSH: "The Speed Run on Raymond Beach, which is scheduled for 9 am Sunday, is still on, however."

They cancel the derby but all of the meat heads can still run their sleds? Awesome.

We had plenty of safe ice this morning, that was not the case after lunch. There was a strong current under the ice, which I have never seen, and in 3hrs the water temp went up from 31.5 to 32.7! thats a quick change, the ice was melting from the bottom. It went bad fast and was a good idea to cancel, people who were smart and constantly checked the ice and drilled holes and stayed away from pressure ridges as we did, were on unsafe ice by mid-afternoon.

I was on 8" or better at the station is that unsafe? No it's safe if people don't push it and fish close to the ridges and the open water.

we still had 7 inches of ice when we left at 330
we lost about an inch during the day but the top was real soft
