Hit the derby with my son yesterday. Wow, can you say PACKED!! Got there around 7 and had to struggle to find a spot. Found a nice one on the backside of the lake and got to business. Set him up with everything and even let him use my lamiglas (which wasn't easy). We had a blast. Consistent hits all day long. Got him 2 nice bows both between 1 - 1.5 pounds (with a little help from dad). Stayed till about 2. On the way out saw at least a dozen adults just fishin' away with no regard for the signs posted everywhere "JUVENILE FISHING ONLY MAY 15 - JUNE 7". Hopefully the patrols kicked in soon after. Just a lack of respect for all the hard work people put in to the derby and the lake itself. Those fish are meant for the kids. Anyways, had a great day out there.
