Almost Annual New York State Crappie Derby Is Saturday

The Almost-Annual New York State Crappie Derby almost lived up to it's name. But like the saying goes, "Good things come to those who wait." It's now back on!

Want to something different for Valentines Day? Put your "love" for ice fishing to practice this year.

It was originally scheduled for January 7th but the warm temperatures prevented it. That sounds weird to me, "warm temperatures in January". The derby is intended to be a 'day out' after the typically cold months of December and January.

In addition to the fishing, they will try to schedule other attractions to entertain at the on-the-ice Midway.  They hope to bring back the Whitney Point Rotary Clubs 'Free Skate'.

It is frequently called 'a party on the ice' due to the format. To find more about the Almost-Annual Crappie Derby and any updates for the party on the ice, go here. So it's 'ice on'!

If your sweetie doesn't love the ice and outdoors as much as you do, then compromise. You go ice fishing during the morning and afternoon and do what she/he wants that night. I'm hoping that works for my wife.
