"2nd Annual NJF Ice Fishing Contest"

[FASTEDDIE29]

"MANIACS UNITE" The contest will go down one way or another! I know Mother Nature isn't cooperating as of yet, but she will! Mark my words! We'll be on the Ice sometime in January. Sharpen those auger blades, tie up some leaders and get the Ice gear ready. Old man winter will be here before you know it. If we get 1 week of Ice or 1 month of Ice the contest lives on. Just make sure your out there swinging for the fences even if we do wind up with only 1 week of "SAFE ICE"

This contest is driven by angler participation. I need you guys and gals to keep this going for years to come. So tell a fellow "HARDWATER ADDICT" to get "IN" on the action. Tell a friend, tell your grandparents, tell everybody in your contacts on your smart phone. Let's get people involved. It's about to go down!

The categories for this years contest are as follows!
1 - Pike
2 - Pickerel
3 - Largemouth/ Smallmouth Bass
4 - Walleye
5 - Perch/ Crappie

This contest begins as soon as you can find "SAFE ICE" in NEW JERSEY! Remember you must pay your entry fee before entering your fish!

Boundary waters such as the Delaware river and Greenwood lake are fair game in this contest!

The contest will end Sunday, March 13th at MIDNIGHT! No entries will be taken after this date!

There's not many rules to his contest so here they are. Read them, know them, understand them. If you don't understand the rules PM me or simply read the rules again.

To get "IN" this AWESOME ICE CONTEST simply reply to this thread with "IN" and please include your "PAYMENT METHOD"

The entry fee to get "IN" the contest will be "20 BUCKS" per person!

You must be an NJFishing.com member to get "IN" on this action!

Fish must be caught in NJ public lakes only! "NO PRIVATE LAKES"

The "LONGEST FISH in each category WINS"

There is a deadline to pay your entry fee. That deadline will be Sunday, January 31, 2016 at midnight. You "MUST" pay your entry fee before entering your fish!

PAYMENT METHODS:
If you know me just hand me the crispy 20 dollar bill. If you need to send a check because you think it's still 1985 PM me for my mailing address! PAYPAL is the easiest way to handle these situations.

You can send that $20 via PAYPAL to fasteddie2927@yahoo.com

"2" photos are required with your entry.

The 1st photo must show the angler holding the fish on the ice somewhere in the state of NJ!

The 2nd pic must show the fish lying flat next to a good quality tape measure! Press the nose of the fish against a tackle box or your sled so there's no question on the measurement. Make sure the fishes mouth is closed. If you own a bumper board, "USE IT" Last year there were some horrible measurements. This year if your measurement is way off I'm calling you on it and will bring in another angler, "not in the contest", to give a 2nd opinion on the questionable measurement. Measurements will be broken down to an 1/8 of an inch to ensure there is only "1" WINNER in each category.

There will be a "MYSTERY ITEM" that must be included in at least 1 of your entry pics. Make sure you have this "MYSTERY ITEM" on you at all times. The "MYSTERY ITEM" will be available to print out January 1st, 2016. NEW YEARS DAY!

NEW RULE FOR 2016 -
NO POSTING PICS OF YOUR ENTRIES UNTIL THE SIGN UP DATE!!! You can post your entries starting JANUARY 31st at MIDNIGHT. This should make things very INTERESTING!!!

Heres your "MYSTERY ITEM" Be sure to include it in at least 1 of your entry pics!!! GOOD LUCK GUYZ AND GIRLZ!!!



The rules are basic guyz and galz! Any questions just shoot me a PM. The 20 dollar entry fee goes toward the cash pot. As of right right now there will be 1 winner in each category. The more anglers that enter the better the chance of us having cash prizes for 2nd and 3rd place in each category.

Gift card donations will be accepted for the contest. Tell your local tackle shop about the contest and maybe they'll be nice enough to donate a gift card. Gear donations will be accepted again this year. If you want to donate gear, tip ups, safety picks, gloves, hats or whatever it will be accepted. Just let me know how much you spent on your prize donation so I can separate them according to price. Don't forget to get our "SPONSORS" involved if it's possible. They are our lifeline and provide us with the things we need when we're out there on the HARDWATER. "SUPPORT the NJFishing SPONSORS and our LOCAL BAIT SHOPS"

That's it in a nutshell "MANIACS" Lets get this thing going!

"IN" "Take $20 out of the envelope in your drawer that my lazy ass never picked up at the end of last tourney" BTW if we don't have ice by February can we enter fish caught up in Canada? That's where I'm moving if we don't have ice by then.
