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
