Here you can post questions and comments about the tournament. If I'm not on to answer I'm sure one of our members can. ;)

Hi LW, thanks again for another year of the tournament.
Do kids need to have a IS profile to participate? I looked around the rules and didn't see much about that. Maybe I just missed it. Thanks.

Yes timberbutte they do...
-
I noticed that you need to take a picture with your face, the fish, and the background. The problem is that I fish alone most of the time and do not own a smartphone to take selfies. I do however have a digital camera. Would that work? I just don't think that I would be able to get much in the photo.
-
It's been done many times with good results. Check the past tourney's entries.
Since you have a camera you can use a timer instead .. if it has one. Set the camera on a bucket or whatever and set the timer.
Either way take several and see which would meet the criteria.
Good luck !

Your camera will have a timer option. Set it to 10 seconds and get in front of it and hold your fish. Lots of guys do this. Practice before hand set the camera on something and hold a piece of wood.. You will know where the camera needs to be and where you should be approximately.
-
In the rules is states: only yellow push/pull rules allowed. Is that a Stanley tape measure, or something entirely different? I'm hoping for a lunker this winter!
-
Thank you LW for including muskies this year. It is very much appreciated!
-
Yes, Stanley tape measure. Largest numbers you can find.

I posted pictures of the little perch I caught this afternoon on the "short" board for the tournament. Did I get this right? I've never participated in this tournament, and want to make sure I get it right before I possibly latch into something big. I didn't see anything in the rules about having the 2016 Ice Shanty Tournament card in the picture with me while holding the fish, but afterwards, wondered if I need to have the card in both pictures?

Need card only with fish picture.

Hey guys Im hittin ice later this am for some perch and bass! Hopefully get to measure something for the tournament ;D Im a new member here but I am registered for the tournament, no worries there, but a question regarding entries. Am I allowed to post an entry on more than one species, and if I upgrade one of my species, do I delete the original old posting myself so that only my new post is there and the old doesn't clutter things?
Thanks kindly!
-
wow and awesome to see 2 entries already, glad someone has ice to fish on. ;D

Yes you can post more than one species. If your fish Beats 1st, 2nd, or 3rd then post in that species. If it doesn't then post it in the short area. If you have a fish that's in the top runner up and you caught a bigger one then post it but you don't have to delete the older pic.
-
awesome Thank you Mr Dance!!
-
If it's going in the short area does it need a tape measure in the picture? All other rules are followed tho.

If the fish goes into the short category it has to follow all the rules as well. The fish will be entered into the weekly draw prizes.
-
I'm afraid with out a tape in your pic in the short area crappyfishrman it will be DQ'ed. Just be sure to get it on the next one
-
So does that mean the weekly draws start January 15 Friday?
-
I just clarified my original post. The first drawing is 1-8-16.
-
Ok then, thanks Lonewolf.

What a bunch of crap you should send emails or something i didnt log in due to the fact there is no ice so why would i be checking iceshanty maybe post something in fishdinder to remind people
-
Wow..... its not like the date changes from year to year.
-
MudMaster, this is not just a site for NY! Just because there is no Ice where you are at does not mean there isn't Ice somewhere else. With all due respect sir, members hail from Alaska to British Columbia, Colorado, and New York. And a lot of places in between. This website continues to have people on year round as well!
-
Ok heres an idea were all members of iceshanty right why should we have to sign up we all should be in automatically??????? If your signed up and have a user name and reply to posts and have access to reports and cond. Then we should all be in its up to us to download the sheet each year and send the pics the right way just saying
-
attention,you need to read the rules more carefully as to not make it any harder on LONEWOLF,posting fish that doesnt challenge LEADERS goes in short column,ie LEADERS? 1st 2nd 3rd,in the perch catagory there are fish in short area that would have placed,although it doesnt matter greatly it could affect you for prizes if contest was to end just saying.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Question, my 3-4" blue gill should have gone in the bluegill section? I realize it will not hold up, but should it go in there till there are 3 fish bigger?
-
Yes if it challenges the leaders board that that's where it goes.
-
Ok, I was confused by the measurements in the trophy board. Now I (we) know
-
I will do the same next time I apologize, was actually waiting for the other 15 inch perch to come into view :P Sorry Lonewolf :)
-
Im surprised no ND guys have been posting the heck out of those perch!
-
Oh no worries the ID guys will keep them coming with the jumbos :o
-
Can you enter a species that isnt covered by one of the categories in the short section for the weekly draws?

I would have to go with "you snooze you loose" but if it means that much to you, post a pic of a fish that will actually make the top three in the tourney and I'll send you a 20 dollar fishing rod.

Absolutely not.

I'll spare you my vote.
I check in like it's a serious addiction, daily, as in year round.
I get asked about the cap, the tee shirt, the decals, the refrigerator magnets, and if it's cool enough the Hoodie goes on.
I carry notes for handouts with Iceshanty.com as an invite.
For a nickle per day you could be Militia but, you won't get much else.
There is a feeling that overtakes your awareness, that you own part of this.
It'll keep you from being tardy. ;)2
Join the fun and tell of how it lets you belong. :bow:

I understand what your saying but at the same time I also understand the importance of keeping people interactive with the site as much as possible. So I don't see any reason to change it if a member is interested then they just need to make the little extra effort to get info in on time. I missed it last year because I didn't. This year different story. I'm sure that it is much easier to manage this way as well.

Is this tournament for public lakes and waters only or can it also be on a private pond or lake also?
-
It's open to any water you can legally access. ;)
-
Is an angler limited to a single entry on the leader board per category? For instance if I catch the three largest crappie can I enter all of them.
-
You can keep "upgrading" to a larger entry. You can only keep one "place" spot per category .. 1st, 2nd or 3rd. You can have places in multiple categories though.
2) You are allowed to upgrade entries. Once the entry is upgraded the previous entry is not eligible for awards
or prizes.
