Get your chance to catch some walleye and win great prizes on Saturday, June 14. The Lincoln Park Business Group is currently coordinating the 8th Annual Lincoln Park Walleye Open Fishing Tournament. This family-fun fishing event takes place on the St. Louis River in Lincoln Park.
The weigh-in station and boat launch are at the Port Terminal under the Blatnik Bridge, with the awards ceremony and barbecue following at the Bedrock Bar, 2023 W. Superior St.
The presenting sponsors this year are once again Leinenkugel’s and the Fond du Lac Reservation.
More than 400 fishing enthusiasts are expected to participate with approximately $20,000 in cash and prizes to be won. “First through 39th place all take home great prizes with the largest cash prize of $1,000 going to 40th Place,” said Heath Hickok executive director of the Lincoln Park Business Group. An added twist to the event, is a $500 cash prize to be raffled off and won by any participant that submits a walleye that is ranked from 41st Place and on, but you must be present to win.
The raffle grand prize is a brand new Yamaha Rhino ATV valued at more than $8,000. To learn more, look for Raffle Grand Prize events in Lincoln Park and at other bars throughout May and into June.
