Does the 2-day registration automatically enter someone in the drawing for the sport shack, or is it a matter of forking out more coin in addition to the 2-day registration to enter into the drawing for the sport shack?
It must be something in the water.

The 2 day registration puts you in for the sport shack and the cash drawings at NO extra cost.

Here are some photos of the "Sport Shack" ice fishing cabin being given away to a 2 day angler. The Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby is providing the cabin. Cabelas is providing $500 worth of "Cabelas" ice fishing gear to go inside. It wil be insulated and  customized inside. All you have to do is register for 2 Days and you are automatically entered to WIN. Need NOT be present to win.

Hey Folks,
Can't believe it's another hard ice season coming upon us real fast.  So I have wanted to fish this derby and my best friend since Kindergarten just got divorced (bad for him good for me) and we decided we were going to take our kids up to fish this derby.  He has fished it before but he stayed with his ex father in-law.  Soooooo, anyone got any info on camp rentals etc that we could stay in , headed up Friday afternoon and fishing both days with the boys.  Any info is appreciated and would love to meet some of you guys who are up there as I have only met 1 shanty member on the hard water.  Thanks!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Kids screaming and chasing flags...... that is what it is about!
