Thanks for all the compliments I didn't fish the derby this year. Just went up to get photos of the bobhouses there by the headquarters and see what was on the board. I'm getting tried of going out and fishing that derby only to have residents and non-residents go five feet from where you're fishing and start drilling holes[:@] Seems like the past three times I fished it I was surrounded by ignorant people and it keeps get worse each year.

Two years ago on the first day, I had a guy from MA and his kid literally drill all around my tip-ups. Then the kid did nothing all day but ride their sled in circles! I didn't say anything that day but the next morning I moved down the shore to another brook feeding into the lake. Saw the same guy come out on to the lake and pulled right up to me again. This time I told him to get lost before they even started to set-up. He told me, "the lake was open to everyone to fish and I couldn't tell them to get lost" which he was right! Well, every other word out of my mouth from that point on was "F" this and "F" that and within 20 minutes they were gone! Hated to do it but I was [:@] So rather than deal with that again I just stick to smaller derby's like the Newfound derby with less people
