You're wrong, it's the end of the world (as we know it). |

| Hey all,
here is some info regarding the up coming Frank Schneider tournament...
AIS Boat Inspections
2015 regulations require that each boat participating in the Frank Schneider tournament be inspected for aquatic invasive species at an official inspection location during the week prior to the tournament before it is put into any tournament waters for fishing or pre-fishing. The ONLY exception is if the boat has been in the same body of water you will be fishing and nowhere else for a minimum of 30 days prior to the tournament or any pre-fishing.
Included in the confirmation information mailed to each participant is a blue Boat Inspection Card. Please fill out your portion of the card and have the inspector at the official inspection location you use fill out the other portion. If the inspector indicates that your boat must be decontaminated, please have the decontamination location fill out the portion in the lower right-hand corner when that is done.
Most popular fishing/recreation lakes throughout the state have inspectors at the boat ramps. If you go boating/fishing during the week before the tournament or Labor Day weekend, take the card with you and have the inspector at the ramp complete the card when you pull out. If your boat is in the driveway, take the time to have it inspected before you drive to the tournament area or before you pick up your tournament packet on Thursday, September 10.
No tournament buttons or packets will be released without a completed blue Boat Inspection Card.
Tournament Area Inspection Locations
Beltrami and Hubbard counties anticipate having inspectors at convenient locations Labor Day weekend and Thursday, September 10.
Cass County will have inspectors until 5 pm September 10 and 11 at the main Woman Lake access on County Road 5 and at Walker City Park.
The DNR?has an inspection/decontamination unit daily at the Cass Lake access just east of town on Highway 2 at the rest area entrance. We anticipate that DNR units will also be located at Gull Lake just off Hwy. 371 at County Rd. 115 and just south of Garrison on Hwy. 169 at the Garrison Wayside, until 5:00 pm on Thursday for the convenience of those tournament participants who will be driving up from the Twin Cities area. If you come up on Hwy. 6 there is a private unit in Emily at the Ruth Lake public access at Mill Rd., open M-Th 12-4 and F-S-S 8-4.
Keep checking the DNR website at www.dnr.state.mn.us/invasives/watercraft_inspect/courtesydecon.html for other DNR locations in your area.
Other inspection/decontamination units in Cass County are at:
Muskie House Marine (1.6 mi. north of Longville on Hwy. 84) M-F 8-5 and Saturday 9-3
Northwoods Dock and Service (1.7 mi. north of Hackensack on Hwy. 371) M-F 9-5
Walker Marine (Walker) business hours
Outing Township Hall (north of town on Hwy. 6) F-S-S 8-6
We encourage you to pre-register for the tournament. If you want to wait until Thursday, September 10 to register at One Stop or Reed's, we anticipate that Cass County will have inspectors at the Woman Lake access at Longville and in the Walker area. The schedules will be out later this month. Keep in mind, however, that they will only be inspecting until 5 pm.
Contact tournament director, Eric Bakke - 612-202-7169, who will be able to direct you to other inspection sites in the area.
