******************************************************************************
******************************* THE 1992 ************************************* 
***************** FOURTH ANNUAL NOTERS ICE FISHING TOURNAMENT ****************
******************************************************************************


WHERE :  The A-1 Site, Westboro, Ma.
WHEN  :  Saturday, January 18, 1992  
TIME  :  7:00 A.M. - 2:00 P.M.
WHO   :  Any DEC employee or guest accompanied by a DEC employee.
ENTRY :  Normal 

  	The A-1 Site is located in Westboro Ma.  It is a 325 acre pond
with more than 3/4 of it consisting of standing timber.  This pond has
been stocked with Northern Pike and Tiger Muskie (a hybrid cross between
Northern Pike and Muskellunge), it also has a good population of Largemouth
Bass and Pickerel.  

	This tournament will not be a catch and release tournament, but
if possible I would ask everyone to return the fish after it has been 
weighed and measured.  

	The legal limits for each of these species are:

	SPECIES         MINIMUM SIZE     QUANTITY

      Northern Pike         28"	           1
      Tiger Muskie          28"            1
      Chain Pickerel        15"            5
      Largemouth Bass       12"            5


	I will have the scales set up in a central location for Official 
Weigh-Ins throughout the tournament. GOOD LUCK and DRESS WARM!!!

	In case the Ice is not thick enough on 1-18-92 we will CANCEL for
this year.

Join us for a GREAT time!!  

To register, Reply in this note!!!


RULES:

1)  HAVE FUN!!!!!

2)  Violators of rule #1 may be banned from all future events!

3)  You can use any legal bait allowed by the Massachusetts Division
    of Fisheries & Wildlife.  Includes shiners, worms, lures, etc.....

4)  5 (FIVE) lines in the water per person.  Either 4 tip-ups and a jigging
    stick or 5 tip-ups.   Remember if you start to jig remove a tip-up if
    you have five in the water.

5)  Meet at the ramp by 6:45 A.M.  After check in you can go out on the ice
    and dig your holes, NO RIGS IN THE WATER TILL THE GUN AT 7:00 A.M.

6)  AWARDING POINTS!!   All fish must meet legal minimums, two fish in each 
    category will receive POINTS.  
        
	Heaviest NORTHERN PIKE       -  15%  
	2nd Heaviest NORTHERN PIKE   -  10%

	Heaviest TIGER MUSKIE        -  15%
	2nd Heaviest TIGER MUSKIE    -  10%

	Heaviest LARGEMOUTH BASS     -  15%
	2nd Heaviest LARGEMOUTH BASS -  10%

	Heaviest CHAIN PICKEREL      -  15%
	2nd Heaviest CHAIN PICKEREL  -  10%
    
    In the event that both slots in each category is not filled we
    will break the winnings down this way,

	EXAMPLE:

		PIKE	BASS    PICKEREL     TIGER MUSKIE
		15% 	15% 	  15% 	 	 _
		10% 	10% 	   _	 	 _

     left over	 0%	 0%	  10%           25%      =  35%

		35% divided by the number of categories fish were caught in,
                    (in this case 35/3, or 11.6%) then a multiplier for the 
		    slots filled in each category, (.6 for first .4 for second,
		    1 for one fish in a category)

    Remember you are only allowed ONE Pike and ONE Muskie per day.  If you 
    catch a keeper and it dies before you weigh it, that will be the fish 
    you use for your final weight.   To avoid this you can bring it to the 
    scales immediately and get it weighed, return it to the water and continue 
    to fish for a bigger one.  Or try to keep it alive and cull it when you 
    catch the next one.

7)  Final weigh-in will be at 2:00 PM

8)  There will be a 1 pound penalty for a short fish

9)  See Rule #1

91.1Help for a "Flat Land Tourister".AWECIM::FLOYDThu Nov 21 1991 18:5110
	I'd like to sign up but/and I know nothing about fishing the northeast.
I have moved in from Arizona this spring and have not taken the time to wet a 
line. So I'm looking for a "Mentor" to get to know the area fish/tackle/bait.

	Any takers??

91.30WAHOO::LEVESQUEFailure is only a temporary inconvenienceMon Jan 20 1992 14:012
 Awright, what are the results? Did any of you catch any fish? Or was it too
cold for y'all? :-)
91.31The final ResultsPACKER::PACKER::BACZKONow, for some fishin'Mon Jan 20 1992 17:0722
    THE RESULTS ARE IN!!!!
    
    A Blast from the past takes first and ties.
    
    Thats right an ex DECie commonly called the wood chuck or SLAMMASTER
    took the honors with a 3lb 1 oz large mouth, 
    For those of you who cant figure out who the winner is it was Dave
    Sullivan.
    
    Gus Surrette and Johnny Roach tied for second with 1 lb. 3 oz
    largemouths.
    
    The only other fish caught that I heard about was from Jim Brindisi a 1
    lb 1 0z large mouth.  Fishing was real SLOOOOOOW.  We had 29 entries
    and a good time was had by all.   We managed to stay out of the wind
    completely but others faced the gale winds.  There was a group out on
    the island fishing the stumps dead in the wind.  The theory was, so I
    heard, that the wind would blow the bait fish in improving there
    chances. 8>)
    
    See you next year
    Mr. Ice
