Perch Extravaganza 

Sponsored
by Portside Bait and Liquor and held at Nitti’s Hunter’s Point Resort
north of Isle, this contest allows anglers to go anywhere on the lake,
and nearby resorts plow roads and provide maps so contest-goers have
easy access to fishing hotspots.
 
Event organizers say the
largest perch ever caught in the contest was 1 pound, 12 ounces, and it
typically takes a perch well-over 1 pound to place in the top 10.
 
The
Perch Extravaganza is considered the last hurrah to the Mille Lacs ice
fishing season. Cost is $20 for an entry button, which is good for both
the fishing contest and prize drawings afterward.
 
In total,
hundreds of prizes will be awarded, to both the top 10 contest finishers
as well as drawing winners. Prizes will include Ice Castle fish houses,
cash, flat screen TVs, fishing electronics, underwater cameras, drones
and more.
