Freshwater Fishing Contest

Contest terminated 9/24/06

Contest Contest - Win Big!!

Free Fishing Stuff - Tackle and other prizes

All email I receive before noon the following Sunday (unless otherwise noted)at fishing.guide@about.com giving the answer to a fishing trivia question will be put into a drawing for a prize. Contest will start when the question is posted, normally on Monday mornings. If there is no winner by the following Monday, the same contest will continue until there is a winner. Only one winner per contest.

The answer each week can be found in this site. Prizes will be a lure, pack of soft baits, and other similar fishing tackle with a value of around $5.00 or less. Prizes will come from my personal supply and will be mailed as soon as the winner gives me his snail mail address. Winners will be notified by email when they win and will be posted here. If I do not receive a response by email from the winner within a month the prize will be recycled and offered again, and that winner will not receive a prize. Prizes must be claimed within 30 days of the posting here.
