We fished the 5th Annual Jack Traps Youth Ice Fishing Derby. The tournament was held on Cochnewagon Lake in Monmouth, ME. This was our first time fishing this tournament.
The tournament was very well run. Each Junior angler got a skimmer and a live bait bucket. Live shiners were provided to each Junior angler. If you did not have a power auger. No problem. There were volunteers eager to drill holes. Everyone was focused on getting the Junior anglers on the water and experiencing ice fishing.
The conditions were challenging. The action below the surface was sluggish. But, this was an adventure worth having. My daughters learned a lot. We are looking forward to the 6th Annual Jack Traps Youth Ice Fishing Derby! Fish beware!! 😉
