We are very excited to welcome back the North American Ice Fishing Circuit to Croton for one of their open qualifiers. NAIFC officials will be here all weekend (Feb. 6-8) hosting an ice fishing seminar Friday night at The Driftwood Bar & Grill as well as an "Ice Camp" for kids on Saturday at 1pm at Newaygo Middle School, with the fishing to be held on Sunday.
Manditory rules meeting for all participants on Saturday evening at 5pm at Water's Edge Golf Club in Fremont. The tournament will then begin the following morning at 8am and conclude at 1pm, weigh-in at the Croton American Leigon.
Here is an explanation of their tournaments taken from the NAIFC website: NAIFC Tournaments are multi-day, premier fishing events. The NAIFC Tournament Series season begins in January and lasts through March, with the NAIFC Tournament Series Championship Invitational held the following December. Each season consists of several regional qualifier events held in several states across the ice belt.The NAIFC Tournament Series has a broad competitor base and offers an even playing field. NAIFC Tournaments are truly the hard-water equivalent to big time bass and walleye tournaments held during the open-water months. However, despite the growing sophistication of NAIFC competitors, these events remain approachable for newcomers. There is an unmistakable common-folk quality to the sport of ice fishing that seems to attract hard-working people who naturally like to help others excel in the sport. It is common for elite ice competitors who have spent years honing their skills and developing new techniques to pass their knowledge on to enthusiast ice anglers. This simply does not happen anywhere else in competitive fishing, and our sponsors recognize the value in the opportunities this creates.
The NAIFC Tournament Series consists of five to seven qualifying tournaments. Each qualifying tournament is a three-day event and has a maximum of 150 two-person teams.
The NAIFC Tournament Series Championship Invitational is a three-day event. The size of the field for the National Championship is set at 75 two-person teams.
