Springtime tournament fishing may seem like a long ways away, but tournament groups already are putting together schedules and registering them with the respective DNR programs.
As a result, Michiana Outdoors News is reminding tournament directors to get us their schedules once they are finalized. They will be posted on our Lake Drive Marine Events Calendar that is found on the home page and other pages of the website.
We welcome seasonal tournament circuits, open events and charity events.
There is no charge for posting the schedules. It’s a popular item on the site and where anglers go to find details of events they might want to fish.
By getting your schedule to us early, it reduces the chance of other groups scheduling on top of you.
We are primarily interested in events held in northern Indiana and southern Michigan although we will include tournaments scheduled outside Michiana if the circuit is based in northern Indiana/southern Michigan or if the circuit makes visits to our regional waters. Schedules for the Events Calendar must include dates, entry fees, tournament hours, name/phone number of a tournament director contact, and ramp location (if the lake has more than one. Tournaments/circuits must be open to the public.
