Is there a complete rules page up? I'm probably blind and hungover right now but I'm not seeing it. Thanks.

Icetester, look down the page some says pan fish series event dates there is some info on there for cost and locations, all events are normal state regs.

Hers a basic rule run down.only 2 poles can be used no tip ups allowed, jaw jacker or quick fish devices can be used but count as one of your rods. Winners are selected by your best 5 fish you select for weigh in. There will also be two side pots $5 each for biggest bluegill and biggest crappie, these are 100% pay back.  Cost of tournament is $30 per team or individual.  All appropriate safety gear is required, spikes, whistle, safety rope etc. This is a 3 event series with a point  system, all ties are a sudden death fish off any public access waters are open for fishing. Coffee and donuts will be available to all fisherman

I will also have a limited amount of bait available for purchase since no local bait shop is near the event

Ok..thanks wis2ohio...

I just read that thread. I still have some questions, so I'll just post them here.

Panfish - (crappie,gills,perch) white bass? Rock bass?

what is the distance rule between partners?

Can partners be in separate shanties?

Is this weight or length for your best 5? Assuming weight here, and a follow up question would be the rule on frozen fish.

Thanks for any info on my questions. I'm sure some if not most of these would be answered once I see or find the rule sheet. Thanks again, hoping to make all 3 if nature let's us.

Panfish are just bluegill and crappie.
Partners can be in separate shanties, but must be closer by each other. (Talking distance)
Yes it is total weight of best 5 bluegill and/or crappie.

Any idea how the ice is? or how thick right now? also does anyone know of a decent cheap hotel in the area to stay in?

[Ntoiceman36]

There are plenty of motels, Arlington rd has a bunch and it's close to the reservoir that's in Akron, will post ice quality in near future, pm me if you have any questions I can help you with
