They do rent slips if anyone would like to overnight.
To enter, simply TEXT me, Rob Pinskey at (810)543-3191 by 4:00 pm. Friday May 31, 2024 so I can finalize the food for lunch.
For boat entry: Include the captain’s name and phone number first, followed by all other anglers' names (first and last) on board. Using the following legend, after the captain’s or participant’s name specify Mfor DAS Member, Y for DAS Youth Member or G for Guest
Entry fees are $15.00 per person except DAS Youth Member Only (child of DAS Member 17 years of age or younger) which includes lunch. Big fish pool is an additional $10.00 per person (All Entrants).
You may opt out of big fish if you choose but everyone on board will either be IN or opt OUT.
Be sure to let me know in your entry text if you are opting out or you will be considered IN and required to pay the big fish pool fee.
If you are fishing from shore, just text your name and that you want to participate. The entry fees will be the same.
It might be even easier to sign up on the our website at AOTY Entry Form because you will be prompted for all the required information.
This is an individual event for AOTY (Angler Of The Year).
YOU MUST KEEP EACH PERSON'S FISH SEPERATE AND IDENTIFIED.
We will strictly follow the DNR 15" minimum size rule.
The limit is 6 fish per person, but we will count your best 5 fish by weight plus 5 points per fish.
Any ties will be determined by length of fish.
Boundaries are the St. Clair River only from the Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron down to where the North, Middle and South Channels enter Lake St. Clair.
Canadian waters are included. Of course, be sure to have a Canadian License and follow all Canadian fishing regulations.
You can start fishing at 5:30 am. You must pull lines by 12:00 noon.
Coolers MUST BE IN LINE BY 1:30 pm.
BE SURE TO ALLOW ENOUGH TIME OR MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO DROP OFF YOUR COOLERS AND HAVE THEM IN LINE ON TIME.
The launch ramp does get backed up and you may be waiting a while to pull your boat out. Have somebody get your fish cooler in line on time!
Weigh-in and picnic will be at the second Pavilion S. of the marina office (same place as past years events). Lunch should be ready about 1:00pm.
The water level has gone down more since last year's event.
There should be plenty of height for almost any of our fishing boats to pass under the drawbridge without any concerns.
The drawbridge doesn't operate until 8:00 am. and then every half hour.
If you think you will have an issue with your boat passing under the bridge we will make an exception and you will be allowed to launch at the Marysville ramp.
This is the ONLY exception and the ONLYalternate launch ramp. Contact me Rob Pinskey, by text @ 810 543-3191
The most popular way to catch Walleye at this time of year will be dragging crawler harnesses.
Some fish are also still caught by vertical jigging.
We look forward to seeing you all at this event! Fishing is usually pretty good at this time of year!
Come on out and have some fun and catch some Walleye!
Tight Lines, Rob Pinskey & Ed Paehlig
