2nd Annual Great Lakes Fisherman Outing

[GLF]

I know its a long ways off, but the plans are in the making. We will be having our 2nd Annual Great Lakes Fisherman outing on 11 August at Fishermans Landing. I have the date in the books at Fishermans Landing already. This coincides with the 12 August West Michigan tournament at Muskegon.

This year we will have a tournament instead of a big fish contest. I will have more details about the tournament after I have everything in place.

I have spoken with Deb at Fishermans Landing, and there is also a powder puff salmon tournament that will also be going on out of the landing. This tournament will start after ours and end after ours. After their tournament, there will be a hog roast, and all of our members are invited. There is a fee of $7.50(I will double check and confirm the price) if you wish to eat.

I will have a follow up post after I have all of the details worked out.

Book your camp site for both days.

We will be having a MiStinger Challenge to go along with our outing. We will have the tournament in the morning, then share in on the pig roast with the powder puff salmon league. Deb(manager at Fishermans Landing) says everyone is invited to the pig roast. Approximate cost per person for the pig roast is $7.50. After the pig roast, everyone is invited to the camp fire(s) to swap fishing tales.

The lure package will consist of:

3 Magnum Spoons

4 Stingray Spoons

2 Slashers

2 Flies

I will be getting a price for the lure package within the next week. All lure packages must be prepaid before the event.

If you do not show up for the tournament, your lure package will be donated as a prize at the tournament, 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.

The lures in your package are the only lures you are allowed to use. If you loose one or all of your baits, you will not be able to replace it/them with lure(s) from your box.

You will receive your lure package the morning of the tournament.
