Well Coldwater and Mikespra thats too bad that you thought the tourney was poorly ran, but i really have too disagree with you guys, due too that fact that Simon Pond yes had a lot of fisherman but down the lake more where we fished there where plenty of room. If the club filled all 1500 enteries in the tourney its just plain luck too win any of the prizes and is hard for the Tupper r&d club too make sure everthing goes smooth. Yes this is a big cash tourney but even if i didnt win anthing i still would of had a great time with the very few fish i caught, and being with my friends, the prizes are just the icing on the cake. When i was standing there listening for the numbers being drawn there where lots of **censored** poor attitudes after each number was drawn, beacuse there number was not drawn too d**n bad, thats FISHING... Perhaps did you guys by any 50/50s or did you get a late start beacuse you drank so much the night b4. Finally its a shame that you will not be in it next year, GREAT more fish for me.... FISH HARDER DON
Dave the fishing wasn't good for me or my 18 friends we landed 3 fish total all 3 wouldn't have weight 5 pounds but we had fun. i do thing you need to think about fishing new waters. i believe the pond is fished out between the derby and summer fishing. i hope you have my iceShanty flag when i got there it was gone you can send it to 27 cedar st. norwood NY. how many fish were entered this year?

We caught a bunch of fish mostly small, and registered around 5 fish but I still believe there was way to many people for that small lake, which might explain why no one was catching anything in the afternoon at least around us.
On behalf of the Rod and Gun Club, I would like to thank you bigbear for your support. We have to agree that the ATV and snow sleeding is a major issue however if we banned then from the ice a lot of people wouldn't be able to get to the more remote areas and everyone would just gather up in the middle of the area. As sportsmen I honestly believe that the secret to stopping this isn't banning but teaching respect. It all starts with the youth, and eventually some of them will catch on. Not all of them but some will. I'm not saying that all of these were young people but sportsmen that just weren't thinking. Once again thank you and all ice shanty members for supporting our event. 50-50 drawings totaled just over $8000, 2 ATVs at $6000 each, $6500 in door prizes, and $6400 in hourly cash prizes for a total of $32,900 paid out for a one day derby. Maybe someday I'll stop being chairman and actually get to fish it.Dave McMahonNorthern Challenge Chairman
Hey Tim, go to sleep. I was fishing with Big Tim's group. I would also like to send my thanks to the club members for holding this event. We didn't have any problems with the ATVs or quads. Of course, we were at the other end of the lake. This really wasn't my style of fishing, but it was a blast. We'll see ya next year.
