Stinger Challenge

24 May 2008

Blow date - 25 May 2008

Fishermans Landing, Muskegon, MI

What is the Stinger Challenge?

The Stinger Challenge is a fishing event with everyone on the same playing field. Everyone receives the EXACT SAME lure package at a discounted price! Everyone is limited to having no more than 6 lines in the water at one time. This gives the person with 2 people in the boat the same chance as someone with 4 people in the boat. The lures in your lure package are the only lures you are allowed to use. If you loose one or all of your baits, you are not allowed to replace it/them with another lure from your box.

What does is cost to fish in the event?

There are two costs associated with this event. One is the entry fee for the event($30.00($5.00 go's toward big fish pot)), and the other is the cost of your lure package.

What does the lure package consist of.

The lure package will consist of:

2 Stinger Spoons(Standard Size)

4 Stingray Spoons

2 Magnum Spoons

2 Flashers

2 Flies

The cost of the package has not been determined.

What color are the baits in the lure package?

You will not know the colors of your lures until the morning of the event. This is another elements of the challenge. No one knows what colors they are getting.

Can I just pay for the discounted lure package and not fish in the event?

Absolutely not!

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

When will I get my lure package?

I will have everyones lure package in a bag at the boat ramp, the morning of the event. When the entry fee for the event is paid, you will get your lure package.

Questions- Is the $30 fee per person or boat? How many boats usually enter the tourny?

Thanks,

$30 per boat, plus the cost of the lure package. I am not sure what the cost of the lure package will be this year, because of the two new flashers being added. I should have a price in the next few weeks.

Last year was the first year I ran this, and I think there was 11 or teams.
