looking for a fishing club

[dcralston]

I am relatively new to the sport (this is my second season with my own boat) and i am looking to find out some info on a fishing club that runs out of port sheldon, holland, grand haven or muskegon. I picked up the "tourney trail" but i am looking for smaller tourneys that dont require the big boats or large entry fees. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The West Michigan Fishing League is exactly what your looking for then. There is still one more tourney left at PS (July 12) and two in Muskegon. The guys are friendly and share info on the radio. It is a very friendly and fun competition.

New to the site but I found the Ludington Tourny, July 19 and 20 allows for Big fish only for $100 and you can then also get in the 333 for another $100. This is what I do because I have a smaller boat and did not want to get caught not being able to get out in what they let the boats go in. I am not sure but I think that Ludington is the only one that allows Big Fish only entry.

THis is a big big tourny and the start at 6 am is somthing to see and hear at least once. If you do decide to try it hang back at the start because the lake will and I do mean will go from flat calm to 5 to 7s from every direction as soon as they let them go.
