24 May 2008
Blow date - 25 May 2008
Fishermans Landing, Muskegon, MI


What is the Stinger Challenge?

The Stinger Challenge is a fishing event with everyone on the same playing field. Everyone receives the EXACT SAME lure package at a discounted price! Everyone is limited to having no more than 6 lines in the water at one time. This gives the person with 2 people in the boat the same chance as someone with 4 people in the boat. The lures in your lure package are the only lures you are allowed to use. If you loose one or all of your baits, you are not allowed to replace it/them with another lure from your box.


What does is cost to fish in the event?

There are two costs associated with this event. One is the entry fee for the event($30.00($5.00 go's toward big fish pot)), and the other is the cost of your lure package($45.00). The total cost is $75.00


What does the lure package consist of.

The lure package will consist of:

2 Stinger Spoons(Standard Size)
4 Stingray Spoons(1 Nitro)
2 Magnum Spoons
2 Flashers(These are the new Stinger custom painted Prochip 8's)
2 Flies
2 Dive Bombs(3oz and 4oz)
1 Hat

The cost of the lure package is $45.00. This lure package and hat would normally cost over $80.

Lure packages must be paid for by 3 May.

Additional Stinger hats and T-shirts will be available to purchase at a discounted price at the weigh in. If you are planning on ordering extra hats, or T-shirts, I need to know shirt size(s) and color in advance.

What color are the baits in the lure package?

You will not know the colors of your lures until the morning of the event. This is another elements of the challenge. No one knows what colors they are getting.


Can I just pay for the discounted lure package and not fish in the event?

Absolutely not!

If you do not show up for the event, your lure package will be DONATED as a prize at the event, and your money WILL NOT be refunded. In the event you sign up for the challenge and can not make it, you may try to find someone to fish in your place.


When will I get my lure package?

I will have everyones lure package in a bag at the boat ramp, the morning of the event. When the entry fee for the event is paid, you will get your lure package.

Since there are over 10 boats in the tournament. There will be a Cannon mag 5 or mag 10 downrigger raffled off at the weigh in. Every boat entered will have their boat name put in a hat. The winner of the event will draw the winner of the Cannon downrigger.

Every boat has an equal chance to win it.
