I think walleye should stay. Lots of walleye fishermen across NY

[Finders Keepers]

Anglers will be targeting walleye during the I.P.A. events too, so I would keep them in the running. So are we talking one winner takes all the glory in each category, or top 3 for each, or...  Since we're talking about bragging rights, I'm leaning towards a winner takes all, but have the top 10 listed on the site, or something like that. Thoughts??

[Toxic fisher]

Gotta keep the eyes, big walleye waters up in north east almost most of what guys fish for

[Fish-N-Adventures]

I agree on the walleye, it stays 

What aobut brook trout swap for pickerel?

Leaderboard of top 3, maybe 1st half and 2nd half but keep an overall top 3 and winner top 1st place per catagory get the bragging rights and a trophy badge.

how does that sound?

[Finders Keepers]

I think between pickerel and brookies there would many more entries/participation for pickerel, so I would lean towards pickerel.

[Loudmouth879]

or you could have swapped the bass for the pickerel and keep the trout

x2  This is a great idea for representing our state as well thanks to the fellas for stepping up to run this separate tournament. I'm in! Can't wait for ice!

OK GENTS
I think we have our NY lucky 7 ice fishing categories:

Northern Pike
Pickerel
Walleye
Crappie
Yellow Perch
Bluegill/Pumpkinseed
Lake Trout

Just for a new refresher way to look at the leader board. What do you think about this.
Tourney runs 1/1/13 thru 3/31/13.
For the over all bragging rights is biggest fish for the whole tournament, but I'm thinking about displaying the top 1, 2, 3 places broken out per month. So we can top monthly fish Jan., Feb. and March, but for the overall bragging rights and trophy badge will be the biggest for the whole run of the tourney.
Is good?

All ideas will be looked at and considered for this is OUR tourney for NY'ers.

[Toxic fisher]

EXCELLENT!!! In mr burns voice 

[Doubles Shooter]

How about a Grand Slam prize for the total length on all 7 species if someone completes a Slam and catches all 7?

I like that. At the end of the Tourny, 1st place will get a trophy badge, in all 7 categories.. And 2nd and 3rd will get "honorable mentions."

[mealworm]

i'm in sounds fun

[EvanW86]

If you'd guys like it, I could set it up and run it if you'd like.
I would have to get with admin to get some fancy editting buttons and a child board like Maine.

What ya think for catagories?    Maine has a ton of them, I think we need to have less, lol.

Northern Pike
Walleye
Lg/Sm Bass
Yellow Perch
Crappie
BlueGill/Pumpkinseed
Lake Trout

How about lucky 7 catagories

thoughts?

and make up some 1st, 2nd, 3rd place trophy tags for your signature.

Those work perfect. I'm in for the tourney.

[EvanW86]

Hey we need a category for biggest killed goby and white fish. Lol dang envasive fish. Maybe a sergeant slaughter award for best splat pic of the 2 lol.

[EvanW86]

Yes same rules already out there for the shanty tourney but a NY only derby. For all of us destinguished New Yorkers 

Does that mean must live Albany and north of that cuz u said distinguished new yorkers. Lol

[northernnyice]

Wouldnt know, Ive never been south of Albany

[bluemountainlaker]

lets do it! here wally wally wally

[bluemountainlaker]

now r we gonna make a card for each species or just a general purpose card?

[Fish-N-Adventures]

now r we gonna make a card for each species or just a general purpose card?

the best and easiest way is to just use one of the 2013 ice shanty card at will be avalible 12/31/12

[TheSystem]

The System is IN and VERY EXCITED, and I bet BIGJim223 will be all a hard one to beat in the Lake Trout series, IF his lake actually freezes this year

[bluemountainlaker]

i think my secret lake in the dacks will give me 15 pound laker this year!

[TheSystem]

is there an award for most dink perch under 5" cause if so you may as well give me the trophy now!

Not so fast, I may get involved in this competition!

[Fish-N-Adventures]

We've got a "ISNY brag'n tourney" topic board now and in the coming week we'll start to piece this sucker together. 

[EvanW86]

great im all for it. the idea of the sodus bay pro-am ISNY get together is a awesome idea if that gets set that way and people are going to be around and want to fish that tourney i can let the bait shops know for that weekend and i can find the cheap motels or rooms avail. over there. let me know im game for helping.

[bushyjr]
