AIS Boat Inspections

Tournament regulations require that each boat participating in the Frank Schneider tournament be inspected for aquatic invasive species at a DNR-certified inspection location before it is put into any tournament waters for fishing or pre-fishing. The ONLY exceptions are if the boat has been in the same zone in which you will be fishing and nowhere else OR if it has been out of any water and completely dry for a minimum of 5 days prior to the tournament or any pre-fishing.
