Title: First Ice Contest!
Post by: davidhoheisel on September 15, 2012, 10:36:41 PM
If you are first to pick your day and its the first day of safe ice than you will win a assortment of prizes from McCoy Fishing Line, Jammin Jigs, and Grandpa Bob's Jigs.

Safe ice must be at least 4 inches of safe ice.

My pick will be December 18th at Indian Lake.

Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: wapak ice dawg on October 02, 2012, 05:26:22 PM
well since last year was a bust and they say you get good ice on the even years ,I gotta go with  Dec 16th.
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: HardWater Junkie on October 04, 2012, 06:19:50 PM
Im not going to give my guess yet. I hope that it is real early though. My grandfather is getting a hip replacment in mid January so we will be heading down to Key West to spend most of the winter helping him out. We usually go down for a month just after ice season ends but not the case this year. With the season being a bust last season and now it dont look to good for me this season. I just want to fire up the marcum and start rippin some lips.

I hope it comes soon. Normally Im getting laid off for the winter now but looks like I have 3 more weeks to go. Would like to have at least a week to get everything ready. I have seen some skim ice on a few ponds in the early mornings. It cant come fast enough.

Post by: erierider on December 27, 2012, 10:33:14 PM
I had dec 28th 2012 in the other guess the date thread. It had since been removed. Do i win something for being a day off?? Also where is thread??
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: davidhoheisel on December 27, 2012, 11:25:25 PM
That was a old board. I deleted it.

If someone gets on safe ice of 4 inches or more on the 28th than you would win if your the first to pick that date.
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: slabslayer on December 28, 2012, 09:12:33 AM
That thread was for last year, we never got ice.  Sorry for the confusion.  I started that last year and should have deleted it this spring.  This is the correct thread.  And the day needs to be exact.  Sorry.  No hard feelings, I hope. ;D
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: erierider on December 28, 2012, 10:19:16 AM
I guessed December 28th 2012! I was the closest. Should be worth something. Its all in the same yeat. Worth a shot!!
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: slabslayer on December 28, 2012, 02:42:39 PM
PM Dave, maybe he'll give it to you.  If you were the closest to the right date he may send something your way. :)

Look at my post on Indian Lake I could hit it dead on.  Don't buckle into erierider!

Jim look at the Wellington fishing report section. Guys are on the ice already. Sorry Charlie!
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: futurestrader on December 28, 2012, 11:58:57 PM
it's 4 inches Charlie!!!!
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: davidhoheisel on December 30, 2012, 02:59:51 PM
4 inches of safe Ice has not been hit yet.
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: HardWater Junkie on December 30, 2012, 03:22:41 PM
Ive been holding out on posting my guess. My strategy this year is to wait until someone post there is safe ice. Then as being a global moderator I will then delete that post and hurry up and post that date as my guess .I will then notify the original poster that I had to delete his post due to some site infraction and ask him to repost the info. Now that I told everyone my plan to win I wont be able to do it. I guess I will have to wait until next year to come up with a new plan to win. Good luck to those that have already guessed and please be safe before heading out on the ice.
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: Luvztaphish on December 30, 2012, 05:35:51 PM
Technical difficulty, sounds reasonable. Good luck slidding that past these guys , their on top of things. I guest Dec.28 th so it does matter.
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: erierider on December 30, 2012, 10:52:02 PM

Jim it was a dam joke. Really dont care. I was joking as i said last year on the forum we would not have ice til dec 28 2012. Plus who needs one.of.those new cheap looking decals you have to cut out yourself????
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
Post by: futurestrader on December 30, 2012, 11:37:28 PM
Wow that hurt with friends like you who needs enemies?  When we meet on the ice i will cut your lures off and then cut the wire on your Vex.
Title: Re: First Ice Contest!
