December Dock Tournament Schedule at Alum

[davidhoheisel]

Hi guy's,

I do not have any sporting events to attend on Saturday's in December so all Dock tournaments are on Saturday's in December.

I have spoken to a lot of guys and it looks like we will have the biggest turn out of the season.

IFO will also be donating a Jason Mitchell rod to the winner of the crappie pot.

Please read the whole post as i have added a few new rules.

Here are the dates for the December Dock tournaments at Alum.

December 15th at Alum Creel Marina
December 22nd at Alum Creel Marina
December 29th at Alum Creel Marina

Check in starts at 7:30 am.

Tournament Starts at 8:00AM  and the weigh in is at 2PM.

Entry Fee $15 per man. Individual tournament.

Biggest Crappie wins $5 per entry.

Biggest Saugeye or Walleye wins $5 per entry.

$5 goes to help cover IFO website costs.

In addition each angler will win a product prize from our sponsors for entering.

Rules- We will be weighing your largest fish per species and the largest fish per species wins that pot. If there is a tie than we will go to the anglers second heaviest fish.

If a certain species is not caught that day than we will pay a second place spot for the pot.

2 rods can be fished at one time. No casting allowed. Only a vertical presentation. We prefer using ice fish gear but long rods are ok as long as no casting is made.

The docks are off limits to pre fishing or scouting starting at 12:00 pm the night before the event.

You cannot enter the docks the morning of the tournament until after checking in and rules meeting. I will release everyone to enter the docks. You can set up but cannot use your vex or have a pole in the water until i call start.

We always have fun with these events until safe ice.

We will hold the tournaments unless they are calling for severe rain.

I will try to post or email if tournament is canceled. You can also give me a call.

Everyone is welcome!

I am wanting to get in on the tournaments, but i do have to work this weekend. I think this would be a great opportunity to meet some members and break out the ice tackle. Is all the fishing done from the docks? And is this at the main launch?

[Curtis937]

I have never been to one of these events and they look to be fun I am going to try and getto the 29th turny between work and first responder classes makes for a long month and I think that day would be a nice day to relax then jet home for work.

Does anyone have the address for the marina so I can get directions?
