Hey there guys its gettin closer to tourny season again. Lookin to see when theis tournament is exactly i am guessin it would be the 6t but not for sure. Anyways was curious if anyone here from the IN-depthangling group would be interested in partnering up and make a run at this tourny i believe it is only 25 dllars or so. Anyone else here plannin on goin to this as well or lookin for a partner? 
havent got a date set the last time i talked to steve. will post when i hear something.
Depending on the weekend, I may have room in my boat Erick. Is this a two man team event?? I can remember seeing pics from last year, but dont’ recall the rules.
I called Everets and was told the first saturday in March, March 6th this year that would mean. Waterfowler if you do have room count me in for sure I am sure i could learn a few pointers from ya as well. Last year if i recall i think i was on the river with a buddy the same day as this event and it was snowing like hell! I looked back at last years weigh in and the two man team had 5 or 6 cant rember fish weighing in at around 35 or 36 pounds. I believe last year it was a 25 dollar entry fee. Steve you got any info for us at this time?
No snow last year on the FYB held 3/1/03. Pretty nice day actually, hardly any wind. The very next Saturday we got 5 inches of new snow and it was brutal cold out.
Here are the 2003 results:

What’s the money break down? Anywhere I can read about the rules?
Bruce Selle from Rochester is running it again. 1st. Sat. in March. Thanks, Bill
Was is it two years ago everyone froze their butt’s off? Seems like I remember photos of Reefrunner’s boat coated with ice??

Kid, this is from memory….Never seen any written rules. Just a guy who runs it from the tailgate of a pickup truck. 
The entry is $20 or 25 bucks per 2 man team. I think they paid out 1st, 2nd, 3rd and maybe 4th. You will get a boat number when you sign up the day of the event. Keep that handy for weigh in.
6 fish limit, 15 inch minimum. Walleye and Sauger.
7am till 3pm.
Everyone stages in front of the docks at Everts and it’s a shotgun start at 7am. If you have a slow boat, stay out of the way!
Make sure to confirm the above info is correct when you sign up.

Waterfowler,
You get desperate for a partner gimme a shout. It’d be a great time to share some SD beer drinkin’….er…..ah….fishing and hunting lies.
As I recall, two years ago, Reef runner and Pro V spent the tournament at Perkins. Rob and I took Pro V’s boat and covered it with ice – fishing was great!

I did a search for the pics of those ice covered boats but could not find them, anyone have any they could post here, it just might scare off the competition 
Is this the one you are looking for Steve?

Thats one of them, there was a side or rear view of one of the boats with alot of ice on it.
Here’s the other one showing the rods all froze together. I’ll give Bruce a call to get the details down. Bill Cadwell…do you have his number still…shoot me a pm. Thanks.
That’s why they call it the Freeze Your Butt!! LOL

IF ever any companies wanted to see equipment put to the test in the harshest conditions, they should come and observe this event. IF your equipment survives a day of tourney fishing in those conditions, hang on to it because it just earned your blessing.
IF my memory serves me right, there was a nice gentle breeze out of the North that day? Say a light 25-35 mph and temps obviously below freezing!!
Angry fisherman……
You got a great point there Steve. I can’t wait for this darn weather to swing about 10 more degrees. I’ve had an itch to get the boat out so bad lately. I’ll be at this one unless that light wind shows up again.
It’s getting closer.
Just a reminder the tournament is March 6th. Coming up VERY soon! 
Thanks, Bill
