You may start the day in sunny weather and walk off the ice in the wind. Wear good boots! Bring cash. There are food and product vendors on the ice and many of them only accept cash, and there is NOT an ATM or check cashing service on the ice. You may use a credit card to purchase contest or random drawing tickets. Bring your driver's license if you are purchasing your tickets the day of the event. Bring or buy a Minnesota Fishing license. We abide by all state rules and you must have a valid Fishing license to compete in the contest. Bring an ice chisel. The holes are pre-drilled on Friday so depending on the weather you may need to break open your hole a little bit. Don't use your boots. Buy bait ahead of time because there is not bait for sale on the ice. Bring a fish or depth locator.

10 The bay where this event is held has a wide range of water depths so you might want to have a sense of where you're at on the lake. Bring your contest ticket and a way to secure it. It's an adhesive ticket (similar to a ski lift ticket) so a wire or string that loops through your zipper works best. Your ticket must be visible at all times.
