Thought I would let everybody know about some upcoming ice tournaments. The NAIFC(North American Ice Fishing Circuit) is having a tournament on Lake Menomin in Menomonie, WI on Sunday Feb 24th, and on Chisago and South Lindstrom in Lindstrom, MN on Mar 10th. Get a partner and get into one of these. For details go to naifc.com
Thanks for posting!
I’ve always heard this is a fun tourny.
Go TEAM #8! 
Looking for a repeat from our hometown team 
Go get em Dan and Luke 
It is a fun tourney with some great regulars that fish it. There are husband and wife teams and a few teams that have sponsorship. I fished in it 2 years ago and had a blast, we finished in the top 20 but would of done much better if we could of got our limit of Crappies.
I hope to fish this on a regular basis once I retire and get my GF convinced to be my partner.
Team 8. 
Repeats are tough no matter what the sport is but we will give er he!! 
I see the Chisago tourny on March 10th is filling out nicely as well.

That team number 1 looks familiar.
These tourneys are a blast! I remember the first one I fished, the fishing was terrible but I learned so much from the other anglers!
If anyone has ever thought about fishing one I would definitely recommend trying it!
Maybe Brian will be my partner.
I saw a few of those NAIFC tournaments online a while back. Seems like a great way to get the stunted fish out of your lake, send the NAIFC boys at them. Keeping 2-3″ fish to fill a limit…. Winning weight 20 bluegill 20 crappie was 2lbs on one of the tournaments I saw. 
They were using 8″ rods, 1# line, and the smallest little jigs I have ever seen.
B BK Put your money where your mouth is come on up and fish a couple NAIFC tourneys with the boys. They only weigh 16 total fish usually 8 of 1 species and 8 of another not 40 total. Some days fishing gets tough man and only the little ones bite. You should try fishing sometime instead of posting all day.
Yeah right. Fishing all day in a crowd of people for 16 4″ fish is not my idea of fun. I’d rather sit by myself on a brush pile and catch some nice fish and enjoy the day.
Tourney’s of any kind are not everyone’s cup of tea. That being said, I don’t see a reason to point out that fact.
Personally, I would go to be a spectator.

B BK you are thinking of the wrong tourney, the one your thinking of is the world tourney not the North American Ice Fishing Championship.
This tourney is a bunch of great people that know how to catch bigger fish and are not limited to a small area to fish.
My partner and I will be there, looking forward to fishing a new lake. Hopefully it has some big crappie. This would be a great opportunity foranyone wanting to fish the Championship on Mille Lacs to qualify. That lake has some real slab crappie and gills, cant wait to get back there.

Yeah, just look at all those 4″ fish….
