Port Sheldon: June 23rd


Hello Member's,
Well I have decided to start some pre fishing tournaments for anyone that like to join in the fun. You do not have to be signed up for any of the fishing leagues at all, any member's off the site is welcome to join in on the fun. I know alot of us that are in the fishing league like to pre fish it anytime they can and as long as I am going to be there on Sunday, I might as well and go Saturday to and spend the night there and try and get two days of fishing in while I am there. I have permision to have my weigh ins at the Gold Coast takle shop in Port Sheldon and they have also gave all of us permision to clean our fish there to. All I ask is to help in on the clean up after everyone is all done cleaning there fish. I would like for everyone that like to clean there fish there is to bleed out there fish so it doesn't make a mess there. Bleeding out your fish makes it alot cleaner to clean your fish also. The only fish that will not be blead out will be your biggest fish. If you cannot bleed out your fish I'd rather not have you clean your fish there. Ok members the rules are going to be very simple and fun for all my pre fishing fun tournaments.

Here is the rule's:
1- You can fish with as many rods as you like to.

2- Weigh in your biggest fish that you happen to catch that day.

3- Fishing starts anytime you can get at port Sheldon Saturday morning. Fishing will end at 1pm on Saturday afternoon.

4- Weigh in will be at the Gold Coast takle shop at 2pm.

5- The no cull rule is up to you. As a sportsman you do know what is the right thing to do. I do not want to see no dead fish thrown back at all. All fish I like to have blead out if you can to make easier fish cleaning at the weigh in.

6- The cost is simple and cheap: Every captain that like to get in this pre fishing fun tournament must buy one nitro glow stinger stingray from Gold coast takle shop. As soon as I figure out how many like to do this I will call up the owner at Gold Coast and she will make an order of lures for us. You cannot buy from anywheres else but Gold Coast tackle shop.

7- The winner with the biggest fish will receive all the nitro stinger stingrays as the prize for first place.

8- Now this is just a fun tournament event, so I hope that everyone will just have a good time fishing with each other. Our channel that everyone will be on will be 72 on the marine raidio.

9- One more thing: I am not reliable for anyone getting injurged for you and your crew, also not reliable for any damage that ever happened to happen at the DNR launch or Gold Coast takle shop if there was the case. All captains must have there own insurance for there boat and crew must all understand this rule. Just trying this so I do not have to have anyone sign a waiver.


Good luck and hope that you will try this fun pre fishing tournament.

Caznik

Please sign up here:

There is one more thing,
I like to have a cook out after the weigh in. So bring your own food you like to eat for yourself and your crew and bring a grill if you can if you need to. also bring a folding chair and we can talk about what happened that day out fishing and get to know some new members if any like to join in. This is just a great way to get to know everyone that fishes in this event.

Thanks again,

Rich

Ok guys now I may have a problem with this. Just tonight when I went to work they just started us on Saturdays. If I have to work Saturday for this event I will not be able to make it. So that week of this event I will know if I have to work on Saturday on June 21st. That is on a Thursday and if that is the case that I do have to work that Saturday then I will have to change the time to 3pm till 9pm. So I hope that will still work for you. I will let everyone know soons I find out that if I do have to work or not that Saturday.

So here is the plans:

No work Saturday- Saturday morning till 1pm

If I work Saturday- 3pm till 9pm

As soon as I figure out how many like to do this I will call up the owner at Gold Coast and she will make an order of lures for us. You cannot buy from anywheres else but Gold Coast tackle shop.



What time does Gold Coast open in the moring? I take it these have to be paid for when we come back in?

Yes,
When you come in for the weigh in then you go in the store and get your stinger spoon. If I have to work Saturday then you will have to get your lure before you go out fishing in the afternoon. Gold coats and I have a agreement if it happens to get canceled that they will just put the lures on there shelf to be sold. Otherwise as soon as I find out how many boats are in it then I have to call up gold coast to let them know how many they have to order. You can only buy your Stinger lures at Gold Coast because they are letting us have the weigh in there and clean fish there also.

Gold coast is going to make an order of them. I don't know what is hot or what is not. If you know maybe I can let them know what and try and get. Otherwise I was just going to have them pickem out.

Mike,
I was just going to have Gold Coast pick out whatever spoons they like to get. I just got off the phone with Rob at Mich. Stinger and he told me what has been the hot nitros.
I will have Gold coast get;

Twister
blue moon
Et
blue wonder bread
green fireball
nitro pox
area 51

They will be at the counter and you just have to ask to buy one of the lures saved for the pre fishing tournament.

Rich

Ps; The more fishermen then i can get probly one of each of them

I have a question??? What about allowing everyone in the boat the opportunity to get into the contest, instead of just the captain?

ie....anyone on the boat could purchase a Nitro and get in it. There would be more baits for the winner this way.

That would be fine with me but in my boat I am the only one that has a crew that doesn't have a boat to fish on Lake Michigan. But if anyone that has a crew that like to get in it and gets a NITRO will be fine with me.

I will post something about it.

New Rule:

If you have a crew member that like to buy a NITRO Stinger Stingray and enter this fun fishing tournament has my permision to enter this contest. Please make sure you have them sign up here or have the captain of the boat that he will be fishing in sign up for him just in case he is not a member of the site.

Thanks,

Rich

Your crew should be allowed to enter the contest individually, even if they do not have a boat. How the prize is split is between the crew.

I am very new to this site usu. use Michigan Sportsman but this site seems to be a bit better:D and even to steelhead/salmon fishing in general. I am used to fishing piers and have only been out on a boat a few times. I recently went out of Port Sheldon with tgafish and he showed me a few skills but I would really like to get into tourament fishing... ;) SO i was wondering if I could ride along with somebody for this FUN tournament.I talked to Caznik but he is full. Just PM me and let me know.

Thanks again Caznik for the info.

Thanks
