The annual Brainerd Jaycees Ice Fishing Extravaganza has been postponed due to safety concerns. The charitable ice fishing contest was scheduled for Saturday, January 23rd on Gull Lake but inconsistent ice thickness caused by the relatively warm winter has forced it to be postponed until Saturday, February 6th.
As many as 12,000 anglers will wet a line on Gull Lake's Hole in the Day Bay Saturday for a chance at winning a new pickup truck, four-wheeler or ice castle fish house.
