Haven't made it out ice fishing yet this year, had surgery end of November and have another surgery beginning of march. Was going to go and fish the derby this weekend but instead will be working on the house being built that I am closing on mid to late February, and packing for moving late February after closing. Don't even know if I will make it out with the early march surgery and house stuff, that would be the first time in a long time that I can remember not getting out ice fishing at all. Maybe a raffle prize, but this raffle drawing is like being a Viking fan, get my hopes up only to be dashed in the end. Good luck to those fishing the derby. dukgnfsn
