Tourney Tip
« on: Feb 13, 2004, 04:34 PM »
Have all your tourney entry stuff (camera, tape, tourney card, etc.) handy and ready to go.

I finally made it out today for the first time and I was lucky enough to get a couple worth measuring/photographing for the tourney. Even though I had my stuff reasonably at hand it still required several minutes to do.

I was fishing outside and it was quite cold with a very brisk wind and low windchills. By the time I got a satisfactory picture the fish were having no fun at all. If I had needed to screw around much longer, running back and forth getting the camera or looking for the tourney card for example, it could have been fatal for the fish. Fortunately they both recovered and swam off none the worse for wear.

If you plan on releasing the fish it pays to be prepared.

LOL Mugz.  ;)

Caught a couple of decent ones on Friday but nothing special yet.

Conditions (snow/slush) up here are bordering on impossible right now (at least the areas where I want to fish).  :-\

How do you register for a tourney? I'm interested in doing so for next year. Do I need to be from a certain state or is this a iceshanty thing. Please fill me in.

tuckerdg1970,
    The 2004 IceShanty tourney is over for this year. Check back around the middle of December 2004 to register for next years tourney. Your entry had to be between december 20th and 25th this past season.
You don't have to be from a certain state, just from USA or Canada.
