Title: Tournament Opens
Post by: 5poundhooker on March 07, 2012, 04:51:52 PM
One of my clubs and I (Great Lakes Bass Club)of Hudson area are hosting a charity tournament in June to benefit MLDA.                                               It will be held at Devils lake on June 30th potential start time is 7:00 am. It will be a 6 hour tournament and kids 14 and under will not be counted as regular anglers. There will be a separate weigh in for them and separate prizes. The kids can ride and fish with regular anglers, but only they will be able to fish for what ever species they want as long as the fish are legal. The heaviest fish will be what they weigh in (only one) no matter the species. There will be 1-5 places for the kids and if we can get enough sponsorship no one will leave empty handed. The regular anglers will fish for bass only. Two(2) anglers per boat(+ kids if you bring some)This will a true charity event that is giving 50% of the entire field to the MLDA. Entry fees are going to be $60 per team and $6 per kid under 14. We have not acquired any sponsorship as of yet, but we will. this is just to let you know as early as possible, so that you can put it on your calendars now. If anyone who owns a bait company or other fishing gear stores and would like to participate in donating any tackle or other door prizes to the benefit contact me via e-mail at jschanz007@gmail.com. Please donate if you can or come and fish with us it is going to be a blast. There will be a booth dedicated to Michigan Lime Disease Association. Penalties of fish death will be 4oz. There will be places 1-3 for big bass and 1-4 for total weight. Please join us to help out this very important cause. I have very good fishing friends who are affected by the disease and some of you know them without me even mentioning their names. The pay-outs are not going to be huge depending on how many show up, but we are doing this for the foundation and its needs not our own. Thank you for reading this and contact me if you have any questions. I am going to put together a flyer once we get all of our sponsors.
Thanks, Josh S. of Great Lakes Bass Club
