What is he cost to register? Can 1 adult register 2 kids?
-
5 year olds allowed?
-
If its for the kids why not have it at a more family friendly time. 8am plus travel time likely means getting the kids up early. Also its typically the coldest time of day. Have if over the noon hour and have some food also. Numerous ways to make it more kid friendly.
Hopefully you have a good turnout.

There be members there to help out along with shanties.I believe it is free.

This age group would usually be up and going to school at that time anyway that early through the week. This is our first one and have no idea of turnout.. so buying a bunch of food with my the league doesn't neccessarily have isnt feasible this time. 3 hours of fishing shouldn't be to bad on them if they dress warm enough

Great idea Wild .Kids and fishin,should be a good time for all. :icefish:

6-13

Well then, maybe you should hold a kids derby for all ages, and see what it takes to do it.
-

But it seems you have the perfect opportunity to do that, Bud. ;)

I'm not sure why your the only one complaining about the age catagories. So you have a 5 year old you'd like to take fishing..then take him/her fishing..just not in the derby. IMO if they're under 6 then they are still either an infant or a toddler... liability issues, insurances etc. are bad enough with adults, let alone children.. We are using our money to buy awards and our time to do something good for children, and you want to whine about it! Like I said, you have no idea what it takes, so why try to ruin it for everyone else or future kids events by complaining. There might be a next year...complainers will determine that!!
-
I wish you the best of luck with your derby. I am sure many children will have a great and memorable day! :thumbsup:
As for my 5 year old, who is neither an infant nor a toddler, she will be on a lake somewhere else fishing and catching and making her own memories. Or we could go to the derby and lie about her age... :whistle:
-

Glad at least she'll be fishing. I'm not asking for birth certificates, but if anyone feels the need to lie and instill to their children that cheating is a good practice, it's on them not me. This isn't about us it's about the kids and making those memories just like you said!

Absolutely! I have never fished in a tournament before, but I'm really looking forward to bringing my two oldest boys out to participate in this! When I told them about it they were really excited and they won't stop asking me "How long till we go fish in that competition daddy?" ;D
So thank you WOA and everyone else involved in putting this together!
-
i'm 15 can i compete what are the rules and the goal of the fishing how many to catch or sizes are there prizes
-
I'm sorry fisher 74 the age groups are 6 to 9 and 10 to 13
-
Honestly guys.. no thanks is needed for doing this... It's a joy to see kids getting envolved and interested in fishing and all the thanks we need comes from those smiling faces of theirs!! I hope it turns out well for us and them!
-
Wild, does this have the same rules as some of your other tournaments? Must be alive? How many fish? Just wondering if I need to bring the water dipper to put in the bucket. We were out the other day and with the snow on the lake, the water rushed up out of the holes and had to just drill a partial hole and it filled up with water and had a live well on the lake…sweet. See you Saturday. Nez
-
no NEZ... there are 3 catagories Crappie, perch and sunfish they can bring a big one (leagal) in each catagory to the scales for weigjing and recorded. Then if they catch a bigger one they can upgrade one time for each. So, only a maximum of 6 fish will get weighed per kid. They can bring them up as they catch them if they want..the scales will be on the whole time
-
Cool can't wait. Putting a new spring bobber on my daughter's rod. See you then.
-
Just a heads up guys, I fished this lake today and there is a lot of slushie slop just under the snow on top of the ice. So make sure the kiddos have water proof boots or they are gonna have wet feet.
I'm hoping the cold temps tonight tighten everything up and it won't be an issue but I figured it couldn't hurt to give you a heads up.
See ya tomorrow.
-
thanks for the heads up FP! We'll see you all in the morning!
-
Great job by everyone that put the kids ice fishing derby together. I think all the kids had a fun time and enjoyed their time on the lake. They are truly the future of our sport.
-
Thanks again to everyone involved in putting this on. My boy (Corban) had a great time and was really excited about receiving that new rod and winning the two lure packs. He couldn't wait to get home and show his stuff off to his mom and brothers.
Thanks again!
Tight lines & God bless.

I had a blast interviewing the kids on and off the ice. We had 22 kids come out even though it was cold!! The wind co-operated for most of this to make it less chilly that first thought it would be. Here's a video from the derby.. Please enjoy and we can't wait until next years event!

Yesterday was the first chance i've ever had to witness any ice fishing. Took the nephews out to let them try it out. My husband and i are hooked. Can't wait to go out next weekend! Everyone at the derby was so friendly and so helpful. I thought it was a pretty nice turn out. The weather was great and the wind held off. All the kids had a blast. Glad we weren't the the only newbies out there. Lots of kids that never tried it were there.
-
great video wild. I will have my 6 year old grand daughter there next year for sure. good job again!
-
Great job guys!!!! Keep up the great work!
-
Congrats Wild on a successful event I'm sure next year will be even better!
-
What a great time. I had more fun during this tournament than any other time out before. Just watching my daughter catch those fish was priceless. She is still talking about winning the big perch and sunfish for her age group. This memory will be burned in my head forever. Thanks to everyone involved in this tournament. The amount of work and prizes that you got for the kids was incredible. Will definitely be back with the daughter next year…she is already asking when the next kids tournament is ;D Nez
