Expect plenty of boats out on the water over the next four days as one of the first open water fishing competitions gets underway. The annual Baileys Harbor Brown Trout Tournament began under cloudy skies Thursday morning as anglers try for thousands of dollars in prizes as they compete from Kewaunee to Washington Island. Andrew Sharpe won last year’s top prize with a 36.5-inch brown trout that weighed in at just over 29 pounds. That was the longest fish by over an inch and the heaviest by 11 pounds. Anglers with advance tickets can take their trophy fish to one of four locations until 7 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and noon on Sunday.
