Brainerd Jaycees Ice Extravaganza-Official Statement!

[Sportland_Bait]

The contest officials just stopped in about an hour ago. They told us that the contest is still scheduled and will be held as normal on January 21st. The details are yet to be fine tuned as to whether they will hold it on Round or Gull Lake. They have been in contact with the sheriff and they have received an OK. So the show will go on! We will keep you posted on the final details ASAP.

As always we will be open early to help everyone get baited up for the big contest. We have parking and shuttle service running from right accross the street from our bait shop. It should be a great weekend. See you guys on the 21st.

I understand it is to be on round lake. Atleast that is the "official" word from the web site.

Does anyone know anything about this lake?

Walley-Pike-Bass-Perch-Crappies-Etc?

How about depths?

I hope to be there. I have my tickets and am itchin...

FYI From the HSOforum:

Anglers who have been anxiously awaiting the news won’t have to wait any longer. Organizers for the world’s largest ice fishing contest announce the Brainerd Jaycees $150,000 Ice Fishing Extravaganza will take place as scheduled on Saturday, January 21, 2006, on Round Lake. The Jaycees have moved the contest to the nearby lake where conditions are better suited to host the contest, which typically attracts more than 10,000 anglers.
