Sponsored by
the Whitney Point Sportsmens Association, Broome County Department of

Please support our sponsors - Keep your eye on the
Sponsor Page to Ice Central Significant effort is put into assuring safe condition. The Broome County Department of Parks and Recreation will be monitoring ice conditions as soon as ice starts forming. We will keep you advised of ice conditions at Whitney Point Lake and other areas as information becomes available. We welcome Emails and will be glad to post those that we feel has value to "hard water anglers". Any recommendations regarding this website are also encouraged. The main base of the derby is Dorchester Park, on the East shore of the lake. The lake is approximately 3/4 by 3 1/2 Miles. The Broome County Parks Department provides plentiful parking and many other amenities to make it a fun-filled day. The remaining sponsors are the local merchants who provide the prizes for this event.
Prize Categories: The main target of the derby, as might be expected, is the Crappie, or Calico Bass as it is sometimes known. While the Black Crappie is the best known relative of the family, the White Crappie predominates in the Whitney Point Reservoir. Prizes, in addition to the 15 minute "special derbies" between 8am and 3pm, include major prizes for the largest Crappie of the day (1st, 2nd & 3rd) along with prizes for the largest fish of a number of other fish species. Prizes are also awarded for largest fish (weight) of the day for many fish species and door prizes assure that everyone has a shot at some prize. To win you must be registered. You can register at local bait shops starting a few days before the event or at the Pancake Breakfast. Registration will also take place on the ice starting at about 7:00am. Derby Rules & Regs:
Snowmobiles/4Wheelers Rules for
the Derby:
Important notice about Bait:
The use and overland motor vehicle transport of uncertified bait fish is
illegal in New York State. Certified bait fish can be transported
overland and can be used in any body of water where it is legal to use
bait fish. When buying certified bait fish, a sale receipt that states
the bait is certified and has the name of the selling vendor, date sold,
species of fish sold, and quantity of fish sold must be issued by the
bait vendor. A receipt is valid for 7 days from the date of sale. An angler must have this receipt available
when transporting bait fish.
