Sunadays Pleasent Lake derby questions...

[BuKhUnT]

Shows online this is a private derby? This is the first time I have looked into it, might have to head up that way sunday   

[BuKhUnT]

Long day at work I cant even spell haha

I've been there quite a bit this year... To me, the fish just seem extremely selective you can see them, but they just are not interested in anything offered to them. Most people I have talked to while fishing there claim long hours with nothing but a lighter bait bucket to show for it.
Let us know how you do.

Let me know if they start biting and I'll try to make it over with the atv. But definately thinking about heading to Bellamy  in Madbury, the fish act like their starved over there..... lol

[pipes18079]

Yeah one brown and a few run and spits

[Troutpursuit]

On the trap with a run and spit, trying putting a dill nightcrawler on right after.  I've done this a couple of times with good hook-ups.  Not sure why, but they seemed to not want to let go of the crawler.  One was a the lake your fishing.

Does anyone know for sure whether this derby is closed to the public? I saw this short notice on the Pointer Fish and Game Club website
 "Ice Fishing Derby on Feb 17th!" You can sign up for the derby at Plesant Lake in Deerfield, NH. Adults $5/Children $3
 It doesn't say that the derby is for club members only. You wouldn't think they'd raise very much money if it was only $5 and they were only allowing club members.

The fish and game site lists this derby as not open to the public.  You could contact the number above to be sure.

[nixstyx]

Yeah. Found and email on their website. Going to try that first, and then give the number a call if I don't hear anything. I'll try to remember to post what I find.

They list crappie as a species on the derby page. I wasn't aware they were in there. Anyone?

[ScreaminSpool]

No.  There are no crappie.  Yes it IS closed to the public.

[Bowski]

Thought so thanks ScreaminSpool

[nixstyx]

Yup, as others have said, confirmed non-public. Open to members only.

[Scorpio72]

But that does not mean others can't fish there while the derby is going on. You just can't win any of their prizes. Just catching fish is good enough for me (If they finally decide to bite.....

Exactly. You can absolutely fish there, just not eligible for prizes. In fact, the guy I asked said to stop by and say hello.
