Small Boat Tournament

Calling all Small Boats!!! It is our time to shine!

The Small Boat Big Fish Tournament is scheduled for May 4th, 2024! You know what that means! Spring Browns, Lakers, Steelhead, and of course, a chance at an early spring King, right along our wonderful beaches of Lake Michigan! There are many of us that already take part in this early season big lake fishery, so why not make it a little more fun?!

Payouts will be for at least the three biggest fish. 1st place is a guaranteed $1000.00 prize. The number of entries to the tournament will determine any remaining prizes. In the event of a tie, the prize money for that place will be split and every place thereafter adjusted appropriately. A MCSFA member must weigh all fish. All fish weighed will require a signed affidavit that the fish was caught on your boat in accordance with the rules. 

This tournament is meant to bring out all of us that are already out there doing what we love, and join as a community and do it together. This is a low pressure, small boat tournament, that is sure to be a lot of fun! Boats sizes between 14ft and 23ft in length are all eligible to fish! Captain’s Meeting is May 3rd at Insta-Launch.
