Just got back, ice is over 1 foot. Many folks out fishing at the dam and in front of the park area. Couple wheelers out as well.

Anybody see something weird gliding across the ice early this morning? Couldn’t figure out what it was

He's gotta go to area 51 for that Trapper

Only thing I saw out of the ordinary was a wheeler pulling a big brown shanty, looked like a hard sided permanent type. They pulled it from the park and stopped it halfway to the dam. Maybe it is for the tournament next weekend? They were posting flyers on cars in the parking lot.
From their website:

w ain't heard nothing from big guy hope he isn't stuck in a hole

I think I'm going to come up in a couple weeks to target tigers... I fly fish for pure strain musky during summer and fall but I've never used live bait and wanted to ask about rigging. How do you guys rig baitfish in order to prevent musky mortality? All of the 3 I've caught over the past two years were released quite healthy and I want to keep that streak going.

Give us rookies some slack. Just trying to get information. You guys that have 6,158 posts can help us rookies out if you want too. And hopefully with your experience on the ice you can help us to be safe on the ice . And if we get lucky we can catch some fish and if we don"t maybe next year.

Really tough bite yesterday could look down the hole see crappies and they wouldn't hit ..trapper Mike landed 2 nice tigers his first ever ..and to get 2 was really nice and he lost monster tiger at the hole..ice was a foot easy walk to ..I got a flyer on my truck to about the derby..I won't fish it..I like the derby where weigh in is on ice that way you can release the tigers instead of killing them..I look at them as a catch n release fish ..that's just me..my opinion unless you get a monster and want it mounted..fun day out on the ice

If I read the Reg. right you are only allowed to keep one Tiger a day and it had to be over 3'. How do you run a derby off ice and satisfy that rule?

trapper2000 · « **Reply #1191 on:** Feb 03, 2019, 01:07 PM »

easy don't enter any fish under 36 inches ...I don't know about this derby but me personally I wouldn't keep one they taste like crap but are a great game fish either put it on the wall or let it go ....... I made the mistake of keeping a good one for diner .....they don't taste like no northern gents

and they really do smell

let me give you the best and most true information about otisco lake I have ever given ..... if you need me to help you catch panfish north of the narrows I suggest you sell your fishing gear and take up cross country skiing and golf....just saying

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #1193 on:** Feb 03, 2019, 01:20 PM »

It's a guessing game or you don't keep anything under like 12lbs and trapper is correct they smell and taste aweful they really do northers are much better..I would fish for brown and panfish there r some big browns in there

trapper2000 · « **Reply #1194 on:** Feb 03, 2019, 01:24 PM »

that's funny as f#:;% all you need to catch panfish is a hook n bait

Please don't post negative comments about the Derby. They can be a great time, get a good group together and spend a day together on the ice. Taking 1 or 2 Tigers out of Otisco is certainly not going to hurt that fishery. There are many years someone catches the fish of a lifetime. And you are supporting Bearwood Bait and Tackle. One of the few true baitshops left. Charlie and Rose do a great job there.

big_guy_13021 · « **Reply #1198 on:** Feb 03, 2019, 03:11 PM »

I don't really see anything negative on here about a derby..Derby's are fun I was only stating my opinion about the way I feel..I'm pretty sure there are a ton of tigers in there that die of old age how ever old that is🤔 I just wish those big ones would eat a few more of those dink gills..

trapper2000 · « **Reply #1199 on:** Feb 03, 2019, 03:38 PM »

suggestions are not negative .... tiger you grab a set of scales and do the weigh in on the ice with all the guys and send the fish back down the holes ...if someone catches a trophy they can decide to release or keep me I think i'd go with a replica anyways ......
