NEW Finger Lake Ice Fishing Tournament DATE - FEB. 15th

[PikeSticker]

Due to our unusual warm winter and the very sloppy conditions out on the lakes with overflow, snow melt, and super slippery conditions, the 477th Fighter Group has rescheduled the ice fishing tournament to FEBRUARY 15th so that the wet and slippery conditions have a chance to firm up now that we are getting back to a cooler weather pattern. So if you forget to get your honey a Valentine's Day gift on Friday, surprise her by taking her (and the kids) to the tournament on Saturday. All for a good cause.

And the prizes continue to pile up.   I have just been informed of the following: They are also going to have a special list at the event with several categories (type,size,length,etc) to give more opportunity for people to win more stuff.  1st Place is going to win over $700.00 worth of goods.

This is starting to shape up to a serious event for those seeking notoriety as the Best of the Best ice fishers.    Good Luck to All.

Is this going to be a shotgun start at 9 am or can you already be at your spot and start from there at 9?

You can set up prior to 9 am.  You just can't start fishing until 9am.   We plan on starting to sell tickets around 8-830 am.
