Jig4M · « **Reply #32 on:** Jan 09, 2006, 05:59 PM »

My vote is Swartswood.

MikeF150 · « **Reply #33 on:** Jan 09, 2006, 08:40 PM »

I'm in as well for Feb 11th.... Swartswood or Aeroflex... hopefully a life jacket is the grand prize this year! ;-)

feb 11 hopatcong

KingKool · « **Reply #35 on:** Jan 10, 2006, 08:11 AM »

Feb 11th is perfect...if would be a week after the KDC tourny and a week before a possible 2nd KDC tourny if the Jan 22nd one get cancelled,which looks like is a good possibilty.

Lk Hopatcong would be my prefrence...but i will go wherever it is.

Swartswood would be a nice change but Hopatcong always lends itself better for a great outing. The date doesn't matter
as long as it's SAFE!

ShawnM · « **Reply #37 on:** Jan 10, 2006, 09:23 AM »

After thinking about it more Aeroflex would be a nice place .There is a ton of parking & They have BIG Trout , SM & LM Bass, Crappies, Perch, really big Pickerel, Sunny's, Catfish. It is esay to get to only maybe 8 mins off of RT 80

As a site newbie with limited hardwater experience, it would be great to meet some of the regulars, see the gear, swap lies, errr I mean fish stories and have a little friendly competition. I would be up for anything as long as there is decent ice. If I had to vote.... Aeroflex on February 5th. (The heck with the Superbow).

Feb 11th is great ....... either Hopatcong or Aeroflex sounds good

TonyTheIceMan · « **Reply #40 on:** Jan 10, 2006, 08:36 PM »

February 11th is fine with me. Aeroflex would be new to me so I would like to try it.

Pomoxis · « **Reply #41 on:** Jan 13, 2006, 10:27 PM »

1-Aeroflex

2-Swartswood

3-Hopatcong

At Swartswood, where would weigh in be? At the old Rabbit Patch area or in the State Park area?

HaveAuger · « **Reply #42 on:** Jan 14, 2006, 06:58 AM »

Weigh in gets done on the ice as you catch, for us catch and release fans.

Shawn what's the tally so far ?

Are you keeping tabs on the ice conditions ?

We need to make a choice this week and get the ball rolling.

Sub Zero · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 08:45 AM »

LoneWolf,

I'm not familiar with Aeroflex, please post directions and such if it's chosen as the site.

There's no info on the Report and Conditions Forum.

davek134 · « **Reply #45 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 09:09 AM »

My vote is for Swartswood or hopactcong because Aeroflex takes a long time to lock up and very little ice is present

AJ Flag · « **Reply #46 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 09:23 AM »

Doug, this is what I have as the tally so far...

Aeroflex- 5
Hopatcong- 6
Swartswood- 2

Also have 1 vote for Aero or hopat, 1 vote for aero or swarts, and 1 vote for swarts or hopat. You can double check it but I am pretty sure I got it right so far.

And dave I would think that it would take hopatcong longer than aeroflex to fully ice up because it is definitly a lot bigger. I'm not sure which would ice up faster if you compared swartswood and aeroflex.

FishinQT · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 10:27 AM »

I vote for Aeroflex

NJ PIKER · « **Reply #48 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 11:35 AM »

Aeroflex
date doesn't matter

bucknbass · « **Reply #49 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 06:23 PM »

the way the weather is looking you might have to move the date later(GOD I HOPE NOT)

LoneWolf · « **Reply #50 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 07:38 PM »

We will definitely be watching the conditions and won't take any chances.

If we have to we can reschedule.

AJ Flag · « **Reply #51 on:** Jan 16, 2006, 10:49 PM »

Doug,
I have a notepad here so I will keep track of the totals so it gives you one less thing to do haha, maybe even give you 5 minutes to relax!

flounderman · « **Reply #52 on:** Jan 17, 2006, 10:48 AM »

Count me in on Feb 11. Aeroflex is my first choice. Never hardwater fished before. Keep me posted.

BTW, took a ride to Greenwood yesterday. Open water. What a bummer.

HaveAuger · « **Reply #53 on:** Jan 22, 2006, 05:28 PM »

Maybe Promised land(PA) Upper lake? 6-10 inches of ice.

LoneWolf · « **Reply #54 on:** Jan 24, 2006, 04:38 PM »

We may have to relocate our derby out-of-state if this weather continues.

MikeThePike · « **Reply #55 on:** Jan 24, 2006, 06:25 PM »

My vote goes for Canada if you guys wanna have this anytime soon

Lake Of The Woods has good ice and its only a 20 sum hour drive

baginwal · « **Reply #56 on:** Jan 24, 2006, 08:09 PM »

I'm with Mike

LoneWolf · « **Reply #57 on:** Jan 26, 2006, 12:30 PM »

I hit Piseco last Saturday. The edges were good and there was 11-12" of ice.

ShawnM · « **Reply #58 on:** Jan 26, 2006, 12:42 PM »

We can do it in NY .If we don't have any good NJ ice by then

LoneWolf · « **Reply #59 on:** Feb 03, 2006, 06:37 PM »

Well so far old man winter hasn't been good to us .

They're saying February is going to get back to normal temps.

I'm proposing we have Webguy watching Hopatcong and Shawn watching Aeroflex.
When we get word of safe ice we'll post a date for the derby. It may be short notice .... maybe only a week or two.

At this point it's the best we can do besides going out of state.
