2009 Great Lakes Fisherman Challenge

[GLF]

The last 2 years, I have run a Stinger Challenge on Lake Michigan. I have brought on more sponsors for this years event. Michigan Stinger, Pro-Troll, Silver Horde, and Siggs Rigs will be sponsoring this years event. This years event, and all future events(except a possible Lake Huron Stinger Challenge), will be named the Great Lakes Fisherman Challenge.

This years lure package will consist of:

2 Pro-Troll flashers

6 Stingray size Stinger spoons(1 will be a Nitro)

2 Silver Horde plugs

2 Siggs Rigs flies.

I will post a couple of rules for those who are not familiar with the format.

• Everyones lure package will be identical. Same baits, same sizes, and same colors!
  
• Everyone is limited to 6 lines in the water. You may not have more than 6 lines in the water. You may attach sliders to these lines.
  
• You can not doctor the appearance of the baits you receive in your lure package. You are allowed to change the hooks.
  
• You can weigh in 5 fish, but are not allowed to have more than 10 fish in your possesion.
  
• No culling or releasing fish at the side of the boat.
  

This years challenge will be in August at Fishermans Landing in Muskegon.

Look for a sign up thread in the next couple of weeks.

Sounds great Mike will be looking forward to it.

The original date I had picked out for this was Aug 8th. I spoke with Deb at Fishermans landing again today. Now there is a powder puff, and a bass tournament also going on the same day. After the powder puff tourney, they are having a pig roast. This means it would be very crowded at the pavilion.

If I was to move this to Sunday 9 Aug, there would not be any other tournaments going on.

Does anyone have any issues with fishing this on a Sunday?

no problem here mike

I think it would be better on Sun as it would give more guys a chance to prefish on Sat. Will be easy for me to switch dates on the calander.

any day is fine with me

Would the make-up date be another weekend? It may restrict the entrance of people comming from far away. I like saturdays with sunday blow dates in case of bad weather.

After fishing in the Stinger Challenge last year, my team is ready. You can count on some big boxes hope you bring a heavy duty scale.

I will have the cost, rules, and a sign up posted this week.
