This is a great event. I do hope they have the raffle and prizes out side this year. To crowded and hot inside Lindy's Especially when dressed for ice fishing.

 We're making a lot of changes again this year to make it an even better time. If you've never attended this is a Great outing for the whole family. We're doing more to make it a Great time for everyone that comes out. Also let's not forget all the people it will Help and thats what its about.   Thanks Pat

I wish I could make it this year but I will be in Mexico.

[fishchris]

probably a dumb question.. is a quad or snomachine needed to get out on the lake or is it fairly accesable by foot . ive never fished the lake before and would like to participate with my kids but towing a clam guide and 2 kids by hand might be a little much. thanks for any info

[blufloyd]

Plenty volunteers to carry you and gear to spots... I might even show up this year.....

[JFergus7]

I am not sure if we will have the Ice Team quad out on the ice again this year but blufloyd is right.  You should have no problem finding someone that will give you a lift out.  I ran probably 20+ fisherman out last year.

Sounds a blast ! Looks like i mite have to hit it up next year...

[illinoisice]

just wondering... perch are not being counted in the derby?

[BrentB]

No I'm sorry, perch will not be included this year, in years past we had only 2 prizes largest game fish and largest panfish, we wanted to increase the chances of a big prize so we expanded to more species. I wish I had enough prizes to include all the fish.

Is this annual event always going to be done exclusively at Bangs?

Is this annual event always going to be done exclusively at Bangs?

Our first year we had it at Channel Lake, logistics is the biggest challenge in moving the derby. One of the biggest things is parking need an area for 200+ cars.....That Does not want to charge the guys another 5 dollars for parking. open to suggestion if you know of anything,
