I can't wait. I really enjoy your contest. I have been to a lot of contests but yours is the best. Not as many prizes as brainerd but yours are bigger and better. Is the bikini girl ice team going to be there again.

[Fishapalooza]

Yes sir! The Wilcraft / Strikemaster Bikini Ice Fishing Team will be roaming our event.

Thanks! Look forward to seeing you out there.

See you there Dan, I could use $20,000 in cash.

I have never gone to one of the big contests. Sounds like a good time.

I like the 20000 bucks for 1st prize. wouldn't mind winning one of the icecastles to.

Is it hard to catch a fish with all the people? Can my 10 yo son fish the contest.

[EYESTALKER]

Boomdog...it's a great event, and I'd say the kids have more fun than the adults. They've got a ton of giveaways, and every kid who registers even the smallest of fish won't go away empty handed. My kids did it when they were 10 and 11 and they had a blast. It's only a few hours long, too, so that's not an issue... Give it a shot !

[Fishapalooza]

Added a couple of sponsors to Fishapalooza that I wanted to mention.

Kline Motorsports in Maplewood is on board and I would like to thank them for helping us with the Polaris Sportsman 500's prizes.

Philips Distilling will once again be a sponsor. They will have a booth at the event and will be distributing little bottles of Ice Hole Schnapps and UV Vodka again.

just got my tickets in the mail today

[dmichaelm]

I purchased online yesterday. Will the tickets be mailed to the house? Or do we just go to the check-in tent?

Also, never fished an ice tourney before. Do people actually get on the ice at 8 and sit on their hole of choice? We're coming for the fun of it, but it would be good to know anyway.

Your tickets will be mailed out next week to the address you entered on the HSOforum.

At the last contest, people were showing up at 5am before we had all the holes drilled. We ask that you wait until 7 or 8am before venturing into the contest area to pick your holes.

Have fun!

Thanks!

[rushlakeboy]

Hey fishapalooza How is the ice doing on forest lake?

[Fishapalooza]

Went out and checked the ice this morning.

I measured anywhere from 14 to 17 inches of good clear ice that was topped with white ice ranging from 1 to 3 inches thick.

So to answer your question rushlakeboy.... The ice is looking great!

Hope to see you there!

Thanks,

Dan

[harvey lee]

I am really looking forward to the contest Dan.

Should be a blast even if I do not catch a winning fish.

[herefish101]

I went super early to help drill holes for the last one, i'v never been that sore in my whole life. I cant wait, I love this contest. Do you need any more help drillin holes, i might be able to muster up a few people.

[Fishapalooza]

Sorry Herefish101 for late response. We have the hole drillin' covered. Thanks anyway!
