rockville icefishing derby - tomc - 02-11-2007 today was the rockville elks club ice derby,at crystal lake.and yes i entered,with alittle coaxing from my friend.since i am not much of a tourny person anymore.i was out of the door a 4:15 am and at my buddies house at 430,loaded up in his truck and we are off.we got to the rockville fish and game club to sign in at 5:00 am.we were on the ice at 5:30.we were allowed to drill holes before the start time of 7:00 am,and set the depth for our bait.there were 4of us,so 24 holes. today was a great day with the sun comming up,and a slight breeze,a great change from the high winds we have been having this past weekwe had a couple of fish to enter at 2lbs,but none won,the winning weight was 3.5,and it paid for the first 5 places. they also had a raffle ,first was a jiffy power auger(which my buddy one a few years back),second was a bottom line fishing buddy 1101 fishfinder,third was a small jet sled,and fourth was $50 gift certificate i won second prize,in the raffle, this lake,is a place i wouldn't fish on a regular basis,but would go back for another tourney [signature] Re: [tomc] rockville icefishing derby - Tarpon4me - 02-11-2007 Sweet pictures dude! Looks like you guys had alot of fun. Atleast you won something, I never win squat in those raffles. [] I must say, I envy your ability to fight off the cold and storm out on a big block of ice to go fishing. LOL, i'd never make it past the fireplace. [cool] Cool report though!

Congrats on the anivercery. and good choice, having it on valentine's day [cool] Little chance of forgetting that date...LOL [signature] Re: [gdn443] rockville icefishing derby - davetclown - 02-14-2007 I did have to turn on the engine twice to worm up a little. the hot engine makes a nice back wormer...[laugh] good thing I was wearing all the insulation, that engine could lead up to a couple good burns.... 10 minuts of running time is good for an hour of heat. you would be amazed how much that little amount of heat can do to add a little comfort. the high wheel wells make a great little crany to tuck in from out of the wind.
