rushlakeboy Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 See you there Dan, I could use $20,000 in cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomdog Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 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 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishapalooza Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikie Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 just got my tickets in the mail today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmichaelm Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushlakeboy Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Hey fishapalooza How is the ice doing on forest lake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishapalooza Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
