Free Fishing Weekend….
This is the 8th Annual King of the Ice Tournament. We started this as a fun tournament of just friends, and it has simply grown with lots of people wanting to join–who all become friends by the end. We wanted it to be for “everyone,” so we do it on free fish weekend–no need for a license. There are no electronics allowed (no cameras, graphs, etc.), to even the playing field.

We wanted it to be affordable, so the entrance fee is only $10. All of that money goes toward the prizes. Five dollars toward the longest perch and $5 toward the longest pike.

We also sell t-shirts to remember the silly, fun day. We try to have them as inexpensive as possible as well. We add to the design each year with the names of the winners and some new element of the event. This year the design has had another “event” added to the design by the original designer, a former student, Wes Eggebrecht. We’re very fortunate, as Wes works for Converse and Nike and other “cool” venues. Check out his work at http://www.phidiasgold.com/

We have a shotgun start at 8:00 and shotgun finish at 4:00. During the day there’s a bonfire at the shoreline typically with a DJ and throughout the day there are raffles and other fun activities.

For more information, to order T-shirts, to register, or for questions: call Josh at 231-357-0534.
