Title: UPDATED!! BERLIN ICE WALLEYE TOURNAMENT--ITS ON!!--OFFICIAL THREAD
Post by: slabslayer on November 20, 2012, 04:59:40 PM: BERLIN WALLEYE TOURNAMENT

Here's the official information for the Berlin Lake ice walleye tournament:

EVENT INFORMATION:

DATE: Sunday February 24, 2013
LOCATION: A&C Fish and Game will host both check-in and weigh-in. They're located at:
17487 West Akron Canfield Road (St. Rt. 224) Berlin Center, Ohio 44401

TIME: Check-in 6:30 A.M. and weigh-in will be 3:00 P.M.

Entry fees will be $20.00/per team. Option to fish alone is acceptable. There will be an optional $5 big walleye pot and an additional optional $5 biggest non-walleye pot. Cash at ramp preferred. 100% payback!!

There will be coffee and hot dogs at the tournament, so please post in this thread if you're coming, that way Chuck and I know how many to plan for. :) Thanks in advance!

We will be "launching" near the old road bed across the street form A&C. There will be plenty of parking available around this area. It will be a walking event from this launch for safety reasons. YOU MUST WEIGH IN EVEN IF YOU GET SKUNKED, THAT WAY ALL CAN BE ACCOUNTED FOR!

We're hoping to have some prizes to give away as well. IFO will give a Jason Mtichell rod/reel combo away too.

All length limits for Berlin will be observed when weighing-in fish. Live bait is welcome. All anglers must have proper ice safety equipment with them and in good working order.

All Berlin's waters are open to fishing. NO FROZEN FISH CAN BE WEIGHED IN!!

The official entry form is attached below. Hope to see everyone there. ;D

A&C has everyting you will need to catch fish at Berlin Lake. We carry a full line of ice fishing tackle,live bait,rods and reels,safety equip,augers,shantys, and propane. I'm sure I forgot something but we should have that too!!

Sounds good to me. I agree. We'll allow tip ups up to 6, as long as they're not placed in such a way as to interfere with another angler.

Title: Re: UPDATED!! BERLIN ICE WALLEYE TOURNAMENT--ITS ON!!--OFFICIAL THREAD
Post by: slabslayer on December 28, 2012, 09:15:39 PM: Only if he wears the yellow suit! ;D. Otherwise he can actually catch a fish or 2. ;D

You may be better off fishing by yourself. If he is your partner you may somehow end up with a negative fish count. ;D

Post by: saugeyemarc on January 17, 2013, 10:13:24 PM: How are you not turning in frozen fish?
Title: Re: UPDATED!! BERLIN ICE WALLEYE TOURNAMENT--ITS ON!!--OFFICIAL THREAD
Post by: slabslayer on January 18, 2013, 06:30:57 AM: I understand they may be half frozen, but they cannot be frozen solid. In other words, they cannot be left outside from the night before. I can tell a fresh fish from yesterday's fish.

Two rods and 6 tip ups. and no frozen fish.weigh in at A/C at 3:00PM $20.00 per team . Does the team have to fish together or within a certain distance? ;D Also is there a penalty for catfish? ??? ???
Title: Re: UPDATED!! BERLIN ICE WALLEYE TOURNAMENT--ITS ON!!--OFFICIAL THREAD
Post by: slabslayer on January 29, 2013, 05:39:14 PM: Correct on everything. No penalty for catfish! ;D ;D. Just can't weigh them in. :o. Teams should stay within talking distance, or at least in sight of each other.
Title: Re: UPDATED!! BERLIN ICE WALLEYE TOURNAMENT--ITS ON!!--OFFICIAL THREAD
Post by: Ntoiceman36 on January 29, 2013, 07:26:42 PM: Good thing there is no penalty for catfish or ltp would owe the pot at the end of the tourney.
