Pelican Lake Ice Fishing Tournament

Pelican Lake Tournament was a blast! Lots of entrants from all over...even Florida and Alaska!

The wrestling team had coordinated a school bus and truck/trailer for gear and people to and from the parking lots to the Pelican Lake landing!

Wolf Pack Adventures got there gear out so the public could get there "hands on" and see what kind of inovative ideas we put together.
Fully loaded Polaris ATV with ice auger mounts on the front, a Lowrance ice machine mounted near the handle bars, and our bench seat-sled for transporting our clients.
Our other sled is equiped the same way, except we mount an electric drill on the front, gas drill on the back, and can tow up to 8 Frabills. Here you see Frabill's new R-Tech shanty.
The local radio station on hand to broadcast from the event!
On the the tourney!

Mandi's first time at the tourney...totally amazed by it all!
Wolf Pack Adventures workhorses.
Approx. 5,000 holes were drilled for the tourney! Contestants were allowed to mark their holes and leave their equipment prior to the start.
Everyone was asked to leave the fishing area and wait on the "plowed road" bordering the ice fishing area.
Until they are given the go, the area looks like abandoned equipment strewned on the ice.

But once the "go-ahead" is given, the fishing area comes to life!


Mandi's first Pelican Lake Tourney perch...too small to register, but at least she caught one.
At the tourney's end, prizes are awarded! Lot's of products from Jiffy, Lowrance, and Frabill.

This picture is about 1/4 the amount of people that participated. Here they listen for the top 50 prize fish, door prizes, and raffle drawings.
A Jiffy Ice Drill gets auctioned! What a deal!
The top 5 fish were a combonation of Walleye and Northern Pike.




The top 50 prize winning fish. The top tier were Walleye and Northern Pike. After that it was pretty much Perch!
Folks keep an eye out for next year's Pelican Lake Tourney...it is a blast! Prizes are awarded to the to 50 fish! Cash prizes to the top 9, then 10 through 49 get alternating prizes (either Jiffy Ice Drill, Lowrance Ice Machine, or Frabill ice house), and 50th got a Berkon Custom Ice House!
