There is no truth to the rumor that we are cancelling the Sebago Derby at this time. There also is no truth that the Statewide Derby on 3/6 & 3/7 has been cancelled.
If either of those Derbies are affected - it will be posted on IS immediately.
When these rumors get spread it affects the charities who benefit from ticket sales. We've already got over $65,000 in prizes waiting for registered ice anglers to walk away (or drive away) with them all.
By the way, I want to thank the 21 Shanty members that have signed up already to drill holes for the Kid's Derbies. ( Still could use a few more @ Range). Could somebody bring a banner or flags for photo ops?

Can't wait for the Derby !!!
Tom do you really need more drillers for range pond after all I'll be on the JOB !!! ;D

You're The Man but I hear there's guys gunning for you.

jay i'm gonna put special gas in your auger so others have a chance to drill a few holes
-
You probably have a chance Jay... Again this year I won't be able to make it... but I held that record for 2 years before you.... ;) Helping the kids is pretty motivating..... ;D

Just wondering what the record amount of holes is

Can we fish the derby from a boat this year Tom??
I think Jay punched 200+ holes last year. ;)

now was that a 6, 8, or a 10" hole
-
This will be a good chance to see how many holes the new icegator really will cut on a charge.
-
OK so the derby will still be going on? Is there a chance it could be canceled/postponed? I have to take time off from work and just want to make sure. Thanks guys
-
It's on.

is the battery going to die?
-
I can't wait to see the icegator in action! My line of hole will prob curl around the icegator as I will prob watch and see how it does and not pay enough attention to the holes I'm drillin!
-
see it? I'll let ya try it...see how many hole YOU can cut while I watch!

Just keep them away from shore. ;)

Eventually... I drilled 50 one day to see how it would hold up and it didn't even blink- and that was on one of those 10 degree days after it had been out all day. Like I said, this will be a good test. I have a feeling my blades are a weaker link than my battery. Hope my new one arrive in time.
-
OK- this may be close to the dumbest question of the year, but... When you pre-drill holes for kids at these derbies, what's the deal with cleaning them out. DO you just drill a pile of holes and go back and skim them out after? Just kick the slush away and scoop them out at fishing time? ??? What about on a really cold day- is there a back-up chisel crew to reopen those 3 hour old holes?
-
First one to ask gets lead the skim patrol.

Oops- I might have to leave before I get to the skimming ;) Seriously, though, I may be helping my boys at that point. Ready to drill, though.
