Title: Hamlin Lake ice fishing tournament postponed until February!!!!
Post by: wballard77 on January 09, 2012, 07:24:03 PM
February 3 & 4, 2012 The former NAIFC Tournament has a new name...The Michigan Ice Open on Hamlin Lake. Due to unforeseen ice conditions, the tournament has been moved from mid-January til February 3 & 4. If you've already registered, it will be transferred to the February event. If you cannot attend the new date, contact the Ludington/Scottville Chamber of Commerce for a refund. During this tournament, anglers will head out on the lake to fish for bluegills and crappies in search of the $6,000 prize (based on 50 entries).
Changes this year include fishing on Saturday rather than Sunday, and a "Learn to Fish" session on Sunday. Registration fees have been lowered from $200 to $120, and participation is limited to the first 100 teams to register. Go to www.MichiganIceOpen.com (http://www.MichiganIceOpen.com) to print off an online form. Registration is available online until December 1; teams can register until January 9.
Saturday, February 4, 2012 Michigan Open on Hamlin Tournament, 8am-2pm, parking area off Victory Park Road. Michigan Open On Hamlin Weigh-In, 4pm, location TBD. Food and door prizes available.
Sunday, February 5, 2012 FREE Kids "Learn To Fish" Session, 10am-10:30am, location TBD. Ice fishing 10:30am-noon, Wilson Hill Park, Upper Hamlin Lake.
A Ludington Area School Bus will transport participants to and from Hamlin Town Hall and Wilson Hill Park. This is being done in order to avoid congestion in the residential area.

You should double check the site. I was registered for this tournament and they moved it to Croton Dam Pond. This is closer to us but about 50 miles. This is a smaller, isolated body of water.

I'm not fishing that tournament, but the lack of ice is frusturating all of us. Been a long time since we've had a winter as warm as this one. I hope it doesn't affect our Wingfoot event.
