Irondequoit Bayside Pub Ice Fishing Tourney

[Finders Keepers]

Anyone know the date for the Irondequoit tourney?

Thanks!

[Cheers]

I will find out, great tourney!

Hopefully someday they will make the pike entries catch and release.Tourneys have no doubt slowed the pike fishing over the years during open water.The bigguns are far more accessible during winter months as they frequent the shallows.To keep a healthy population of above average fish the large females need to be released.Try doing entries by length and slip them back in the hole for another day.It is nice to tie into a lunker every now and then-more often would be better.Every little bit helps.Selective harvest...not harvest all.

Most of the derbies I fish all winter, not many pike come to the scales. Last years Avon Anglers derby on Conesus had 140 participants and only 9 pike were weighed in. The Mitchells derby had 100+ and only 7 pike came to the scales. Catch and release derbies will not work. In a perfect world, they would but people are not honest when money is involved.

Must be something about muskies that attracts the honest ones, lord knows those fish aren't known for yielding numbers... unless you're talking number of days trying
