Welcome to the site Jerryn.

Where in South Dakota do you catch Salmon?

Welcome to the madness Jerryn . Ken , the Secocawea reservoir has chinook in it.

Thank Chad.

That is correct, if you contact me and let me know you are going in that would be good. The reason is to know every one is safe and that you will be at the weigh in.

Also I set a few new rules after a couple issues that came up last year, the full set of rules for the 2016 season are all posted in the WEST MICHIGAN FISHING LEAGUE group section.

Ok, after a few issues last season I have made a few rule changes and here they are regarding safety and fairness.

So with that said, here is this seasons new rules.

• Shot gun at 6 am , all boats need to be with in 1/4 mile of the pier heads and pull lines at Noon

. ALL BOATS MUST HAVE A WORKING MARINE RADIO WITH CHANNEL 72 AND YOU MUST MONITOR IT!

. You must be within radio frequencies,  there will be a roll call at 5:50 and another at 11:30. if you do not answer at 11:30 you will be disqualified. If another boat can hear you and confirm it is you that is good.

.• Weight in 1pm at the fish cleaning station

• We will fish predicted seas of 1-3' or less. (or game day call)

.In the event that the event is cut short due to weather the weigh in will be held 45 min after the cancellation and points will be awarded.

• If small craft advisories are in effect we will not fish.

• I would like to encourage reports posted from teams after the events.

Communications encouraged on channel 72. Keep it clean for this is a family oriented event.

1. Max of 9 rods in the water at one time.

2. Tourney Fees. 25 dollars for tourney, plus 5 dollars for big fish.

3. Tourney Pay Outs will be on 20 boats or less

a. 1st place 50%

b. 2nd Place 30%

c. 3rd Place 20%

i. 20+ boats = pay down 4 boats 40%,25%,20%, 15%

d. Tie breaker will be biggest fish.

e. Big fish is winner takes all of big fish money.

4. Weigh your best 5 fish with 10 points per fish.

5. Max of 3 person limit per boat may be kept.

6. Money is due at weigh-in. Gentleman's honor to pay. Please pay if you are signed up. If you are having issues please contact me, so that I know not to look for you at the scale.

7. Start out of the same port as the weigh in.

8. If two members are fishing together, than the boat they are fishing out of gets the point.

9. Follow all other State and Federal Laws. The captain is responsible for his crew. Keep it safe.

10. Blow date will be the following day.

11. No charter Capt. and or current first mates.

12. All Capt. must PM me a cell phone number for safety reasons.

You do NOT need to fish all events to partake in this league.

This is going to be a multi port league with it being Holland and South Haven. "Look for date schedule in a few weeks". We will fish 3 dates out of each port and there will be a trophy awarded to the season points champion. The season points champ will be the team with the best three scores at the end of the season regardless of port fished. That being said , the more of these you fish the better chance you have.

If anyone is interested in fishing this this year go to the sub forum . I noticed that what ive posted in there is not coming up as new posts.

Thanks 

Ok, now that the Tournement Trail dates and other schedules are set it time to get started on our league dates for the upcoming season. There will be a couple rule changes  and this will be a dual port event as it was last year , with 3 being out of South Haven and 3 out of Holland . So to all that are interested in fishing this again this season , keep an eye on hear over the next week for dates and details.

I am very interested . Do you have a list of rules , such as crew size Limits, number of rods that can be run , catch limits, and start time?
