Mobridge Ice Fishing Tournament Decision 01-05-2012

chamber2387 — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:00:10 +0000

The Mobridge Chamber Tourism Committee met in length today to discuss about what to do with the tournament. It was decided that the ‘event’ would go on as planned, BUT that there would not be any endorsed fishing or weigh-ins. With the lack of ice and ever changing conditions of what ice there is, the concern was for the safety of the entrants. The Friday night registration and prize give away will be at the regular published times. All handouts (buckets, food, snacks, & etc.) will be given out Friday night. Saturday will be an open day for entrants to do as they wish. At 6 o’clock on Saturday we will start drawing places for prize money, and other “place” prizes. Will give away the prize money and the rest of the “large” prizes on Saturday night starting at 7:30 p.m.

Please be assured that this was not an easy decision for us to come up with, but it is in the best interest of the safety of the anglers that participate. If you have additional questions please contact the Mobridge Chamber at 605-845-2387.

Mobridge Ice Tournament Dates

We have been fielding a lot of calls and emails regarding the dates of the tournament and whether we are looking to changing them for this year. The clear and concise answer is no. The committee feels that it would be a burden to many anglers as they have scheduled vacation time, or have worked covered, and other factors, that we cannot in good faith move the tourney this year. With that being said, we are obviously well aware that ice conditions are not what we would like, nor could have we anticipated. We are looking at all avenues to make this year’s tournament an enjoyable, but more importantly a safe one. We will be keeping everyone updated as to what changes will happen from our January 5th meeting.

Be assured we will be looking out for the best interest of all participants safety and experience. A HUGE thank you to all that have questions and concerns and voicing them. This is a grassroots tournament and it takes all volunteer’s and participant’s thoughts and ideas to make it a tourney that we all enjoy.

Ice Tournament Update

The tourism committee had a meeting today, and we do have some alternative plans that we are thinking about. Nothing is set in stone as things can change in 24 days. Be assured that once something is decided on, we will keep everyone posted. Our next meeting is January 5th at that time we should have a better feel on ice conditions and plans.

As for current ice conditions. From Blue Blanket South, there is open water. There is also some open water under the bridges. There have been people fishing in the Grand River and Oak Creek. It sounds like the ice is certainly better North of town.
