Title: Urgent!!! Your help may be needed! Lorain County.
Post by: ratherbefishing on January 13, 2011, 09:49:16 PM
Hey everyone, I have a time sensitive request which has been sent to us from a MetroPark representative in NE Ohio.

The message reads as follows:

From:    Jannah Wilson

             [email protected]

    Hi David,

I know this is super last minute, but we will be holding a Winter Days festival this Saturday at one of our parks here in Lorain County, and our ice fishing demo person cancelled.  Do you know of anyone who could come out, even just for a few hours? We have a pond that has six inches of ice, and they could set up on that.  Thanks for any assistance, and please feel free to call me if you have more questions - (440)949-5200 or (419)271-2771.  Jannah Wilson

Any members in NE Ohio who are interested (and feel up to the challenge), should contact Jannah as soon as possible.

These community events are very important to the growth and success of our sport.

Thank you in advance!

Ryan

Do you know what all is involved?

Call Jannah if you have more in-depth questions.

I would imagine you'll be covering the very basic points.

Ice safety checklist: Gear, Precautions, etc.

Fishing Gear: Rods, Lures, Bait, etc. (you might demo)

Should be fairly cut and dry... Low-key event I would imagine. Just cover beginning ice fishing items. PM me if you'd like a run-down of things we've covered in the past. It really is only as big a deal as you make it. Just go in and follow your procedures that you follow for ice safety, and discuss selection of tackle and things of that nature.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated I'm sure! Be ready to field a few questions, and leave things open on certain topics where safety isn't being compromised. This will allow more interaction, which is what you'll want.

I realize that promoting the sport is important, but the Lorain County metroparks does not allow ice fishing.  I'd be happy to do the demonstration if I wouldn't get a ticket for fishing the same hole tomorrow.
It's too bad, they own plenty of land and some great ponds.
