Wmfl rules for 2017 After a short pole with all the teams that showed up for the last event last season , we have decided not to make any rule changes for the 2017 season. Other than to eliminate the events out of South Haven and make them all out of the port of Holland. With that said here are our rules to play by for this season. • Shot gun at 6 am , all boats need to be with in 1/4 mile of the pier heads and pull lines at Noon .

Look for the season schedule later this evening.

I generally run them if straight out the back around 40', if there on down rods around 30ish' and if off the boards between 20-30'. All based on water depth and current speed. And yes the same color schemes as you would with warts and tots, I do like a little more chartreuse with them for what ever reason, such as the mad clown.

So now that the holidays are all over and we are coming up on February, that means it's not to early to start thinking about this coming season. This year the only change at this point is that all of our tournaments will be run from Holland , do to lack of participation in South Haven. I am also working on contacting all of our previous sponsors and have a couple committed and would like one to replace the Always great Pyle's Port Hole that is now closed in south haven. Anyhow , please keep checking back for updates and I should have the rules and schedule for this season posted in the next couple weeks. The sponsors that are is so far for this season are Morgan's Tackle, Big Weenie Brand and Silver Streak, thanks to all of these guys for helping out.

The 3.0 map lips are amazing in the river for steelhead , and the 3.5's work awsome for lakes , run them short and the ball 5' off bottom.

Nice job.
