iceman. you can find the 20 ft of water straight off the boat launch without too far of a walk. The old river channel makes it's way in there. If you fish this area,look me up. I have a Clam 6800. Can't miss it. There's not many of those around. Tight lines to you.

Hey fellas, its been a while since I fished the derby, about 6 or 7 years. Is there any weed beds I can find in the rez or is there just too much current from the old river beds? Thanks in advance. I heard the top prize was $11,000

Budbucket · « **Reply #9 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 10:18 AM »

the current is pretty much gone with the res. level being up now. the only current ive noticed is up at the northern end

Does anyone know when the sportsman's den opens 5 or 5:30?
I cant get them to pick up the phone.

bigal409 · « **Reply #11 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 10:36 AM »

The Sportsman's Den is onlyopen part time these days but I'm sure he will be open that early on derby day. He doesn't carry much tackle but does have bait. If you want tackle,try Top Line bait. It's on Rt 26 3 miles from the park entrance and he carries a lot of tackle and bait. He said he'd be open around 4AM.

NYSporty · « **Reply #13 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 12:06 PM »

I think it's 8 first 15min derby is 8:15 I rarely see people wait till 8 to fish.
We are always there at 5:30 and there are people fishing heck there are allot of people that fish all night long.
Drive by Friday night and there are lanterns everywhere.

28 - Biggest White Crappie (Length) per "Special" (each 15 min period between 8AM-3PM)
3 - Biggest White Crappie of the day - 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place
6 - Biggest of numerous fish species (Over the entire event - Cuts off at 2 PM)

The judges stand. The line starts to form early but it goes fast.
Weather looks good 30ish beer wont freeze so fast.
Have a safe ride and good luck.

sweeet thanks alot for the info

Lunch_Box · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 04:10 PM »

hey iceman,
you might wanna check your info. if you go up to whitney point for the crappie derby on sunday, you are gonna be a day late. may wanna change your plans.

FYI: sign ups start @ 7am the morning of the derby.

iceman92 · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 04:53 PM »

yeah thanks i ment sat but i must have had a brain fart while typing. thanks it is sat. the website says 630 on derby day but we plan on rollin into there about 530. is the sign up right on the ice or do we have to stop somewere first? thanks again

Lunch_Box · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 05:31 PM »

thay do it right on the ice, if you get into town earlier, i think you can register @the sportsmans den or the bait shop in lisle, not sure if they stop registration the night before or not. most likely they do for logistics sake, your best bet is right on the ice

Takes2Long · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 07:49 PM »

Hey fellas, remind me. What does it cost to enter? Thanks!

SEF830 · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 26, 2011, 07:59 PM »
