Win a free guided fishing trip and two-night stay at Zippel Bay Resort on Minnesota’s Lake of the Woods—a world class fishery for walleyes, pike and smallmouths. Entering is easy, fast and free!All you have to do to enter the contest is submit your best walleye tip. SCROLL DOWN TO ENTER! Tips can be as short as one sentence, and should not exceed 250 words maximum. Feel free to describe when and where your fishing tip works best, as well as how you execute the tip. If possible, explain in one sentence why your technique catches fish (i.e. “Trolling big crankbaits at high speeds in summer catches walleyes because it excites walleyes and triggers reaction strikes.”)Tips will be judged on creativity, quality of explanation, and how helpful the tip is to the average angler. The tips do not need to be high-tech, difficult or well-written. Preference will be given to well-explained, succinct tips. You must include your name, number, e-mail address, hometown and favorite species to catch.The winning individual and one guest of his/her choice will receive a free two-night stay at Zippel Bay Resort.
