This tournament has been successfully held for over 20 years. Last year it came to our attention that Fishing Has No Boundaries was holding an outing on the same day at the same location. We support Fishing Has No Boundaries and what they are accOmplishing with the handictlpped. For the success of their tournament we moved our weigh in to th(:') area north of the boat launch. It is our un<krstanding that they are again holding their outing this year, but have chosen May 20, 2005. While there is no longer a conflict we wish to hold out weigh in back at the sail boat docks. We are a small tournament of local residents and boost on our success of a high percentage of fish returned into the local system with the assistance of the Walleyes for Tomorrow release efforts. With the use of the sailboat docks this can be done very quickly allowing our tournament a successful release. Immediately following the contestant's fish being weighed they head to tournament headquarters for the presentation of awêU'd$, Please contact Randy Harwood at 920-410-1374 if you have any que$tions for concerns. Again, thank you for allowing this tournament to be a success.
