Cooler water has returned to the Wisconsin side of Lake Michigan, which could fire up the catches as things begin to stabilize this week.
Large waves, dense fog and a fast-moving storm reduced participation Saturday, but a dozen more 20-pound-plus "kings" were put to official tournament scales. The biggest of the day was a 28.12 for Gary Welch of Sturgeon Bay (pictured) at B&K Bait and Tackle @ Kap's Marina on Washington Island.
West winds are expected to settle the nearshore waters on the lake side of the K/D Peninsula Sunday, and light northwest winds are expected to start the day Monday before swinging around to light southeast.
More than $50,000 in cash and prizes are on the line. Tickets — $25 for the full tourney or $13 for a daily chance — are available at B&K Bait and Tackle, Jungwirth Ace Hardware, Baileys 57, JP Express north of Carlsville, Howie’s Tackle & Archery, Greystone Castle, Algoma BP (and Algoma JP Express), Accurate Marine & Tackle, and Center Court Convenience. Tickets are available 24/7 at both JP Express locations. Everyone in the boat age 10 and up must have a ticket, and fishing must be done in the Wisconsin waters off Kewaunee or Door counties.
