Ice contest 2017!

[Delawareriver]

Ok gentleman talked with a few of you and looks like there is enough interest for another ice contest. Gonna make it bigger and better. Will be contacting some companies to try to get extra prizes so the more entries the better chance we have at getting sponsors.

Pretty much same rules as past years with a few minor changes.

Tournament will run from January 1st first till midnight March 13th. No entries will be accepted after

Sign up by midnight January 9th.
I will post an image on December 31st that you will need to print out and have in your entries.

Two images will be need, 1st of you holding the fish. 2nd picture will fish on the ice with ice contest image, and measuring tape. **** rule change**** fish and measuring tape should be bumped against a flat surface. You can buy a bumper board (saw cheap ones on amazon for $8), use edge of your sled, piece of wood, tackle box it doesn't matter as long as the nose of the fish and tape is bumped against something flat and we can read the tape measure. Tape measure should be easily to read, tail of the fish should be touching or as close as possible. Please place the tape measure below the fish closer to the camera so it's easier to read.. It's not that hard guys if you use common sense.
If you don't use a bumper or picture is poor, the 3 judges and myself Will come with an estimated measurement. If an estimated fish ties with a bumper fish the bumper fish will win end of story.

I will be looking for 3 active members that aren't entering the tournament that are willing to judge in case we have some close entries at the end of the tournament. PM me if interested

You must be an active njfishing.com member

Fish must be caught in new jersey in public water boundary waters greenwood lake and Delaware River are included.

Categories for this year will be

6. Walleye http://www.njfishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94374
7. Oddball http://www.njfishing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=94375

*Oddball category is any species that there isn't a category for, could be channel cat, hybrid, golden shinners, trout, carp, rockbass or anything other species. Njfishing members will vote for their favorite or most impressive catch

Last but not least is the Ice King award. For each category (not including oddball) will award points. Each member will only receive points for there largest fish. For example if saxmatt catches the three biggest muskies he only gets 10pts, the next member with the largest muskie will get 9pts. So it's important for guys to try to enter large fish in each category even if they aren't big enough to win.

1st place is 10 pts,
2nd place is 9pts
3rd place 8pts
Etc right down to the 10th place fish receiving 1pt.

At the end of the tournament the 2017 Ice King will get a nice award and prize.

If you don't like these rules don't enter the tournament.

Contest will cost $20 like last year-- I will jump make a $100 dollar donation to get this party started.

PayPal is easiest @ flatheadslayer119@yahoo.com

PP sent. I like the ICE KING points twist!

[Chrisper4694]

You know I'm in! Will send you PayPal later.

And just a tip to participants, have the ruler, token, and camera ready at all times and if you have a partner it'll be much easier to get quick good pics.

I'll be one of the judges should we need it. Pregnant wife, new home and new puppy with my already busy work schedule means this definitely won't be the year I get out on the ice for the first time. Look forward to seeing all the catches. Tight lines boys.

[NickM221]

I've never gone ice fishing before, but I'm hoping some beginner luck can help me

If one of you veterans would be nice enough to show me the ropes, I would really appreciate it!

[FASTEDDIE29]

Well boyz and girlz, WHO's IN??? I'm happy to see somebody else take the reigns this year as I just don't feel like doing it this year. Thanks for giving it a shot Lou! I hope all goes well and we get better ice than last year. Should be interesting to say the least, LOL! We need lots of ENTRIES and ANGLER PARTICIPATION to balance out all the categories this years contest has. Yea....... And...... Ummmmm...... We also need some damn ice and another polar vortex! Let's see what Mother Nature brings, she's the boss as always! Looking forward to seeing everyone on the ice this year! GOOD LUCK to all who enter!

On that note, don't forget to be safe out there! ICE PICKS! FLOAT SUIT! BUDDY SYSTEM! ROPE! Let somebody close to you know where you'll be!

SAFETY FIRST!!!!!

TIGHT LINEZ and FLAGS to ALL!!!!

Let's do this FELLAZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!

P.S. Don't forget to invite the girls from "Nice Panty" to come out and play!
P.P.S. Sending payment via paypal eventually.

Havent been ice fishing before, but been getting some gear slowly. If anyone wants to show a newbie the ropes on a weekend please shoot me a message.

[Chrisper4694]

More places need to freeze, right now it's basically an orgy.
