Weather
It can be anywhere from 50 degrees and raining to mid 80's and sunny. It is suggested that you
bring good raingear and some insulated coveralls at minimum.
"I brought cold weather gear to Tennessee and was glad that I did. I didn't
need it but I was ready if the temps dropped." Typically, it's in the mid
60's to mid 70's
Tournament
Cash Prizes are based on the number of entrants. All entry fees will be paid out as prize money.
Rules are as follows:
Pre-fishing is allowed, and encouraged. There is no limit to pre-fishing.
14" minimum size limit on all bass, daily limit of 5.
Culling/Sorting is not permitted. Once a fish is in the livewell, it is considered to be in possession.
Must possess a valid fishing license.
No use of live bait. Pork trailers are not considered live bait.
Only one line in the water at a time.
Largest Non-Bass will be determined by overall length. Due to most livewells being incapable of handling a large muskie or pike, length may be verified by the boat's partner. A picture would be of benefit. Measurements must include length and girth to 1/8th inch. In the event of a tie in length, girth will determine the winner.
All boats must contain a livewell.
PFDs must be provided for all boat occupants.
All Wisconsin fishing regulations will be followed, any person found guilty of a WI-DNR regulation will be disqualified.
Contestants will be penalized for arriving late at the weigh-in. Penalties assessed as follows: 1 pound per minute late, 15 minutes late, weight invalid for the day.
Any questions can be directed to the tournament director, Steve Huber for a ruling.
Tournament Director's word is final.
The format of this tourney is a two day event, but if you're unable to fish both days, that's all right, come on up for however long as you can. The first day, if you arrived with a friend and want to fish together, that's all right. But, the second day, non-boaters will be paired up with boaters via random drawing. If you don't have a partner, you will be paired up via random drawing.
Boats are available for rent. Please let me know as soon as possible so that arrangements can be made.
