Aug 12, 2015

Hook 'em, hook 'em BIG!

Attention, anglers! The annual Land O’ Lakes Large & Smallmouth Bass Fishing Tournament returns to three lakes in the region on Saturday, August 15.

The water bodies featured in this year’s live release event are Hay Bay in Greater Napanee, Beaver Lake in Stone Mills, and Big Gull Lake in North Frontenac. There is a weigh station found on each lake, with locations at Pickerel Park CAREFREE Resort (665 South Shore Road), Lions Beaver Lake Park (Erinsville), and Kirk Cove Cottages, (1539 Kirk Kove Road near Harlow).

Prizes for the tournament total more than $3,500. The largest fish caught on each lake will receive a cash prize $500; 2nd place gets $250, and 3rd place gets $100. Anglers who catch the “hidden weight” will receive $50. Everyone who purchases a ticket for the tournament is entered into a draw to win a $500 Gift Card and a Fish Kayak, courtesy of Canadian Tire in Napanee, even if they don’t fish in the tournament.

Tickets are on sale now for $35 each. They are available online at www.TravelLandOLakes.com as well as at the Canadian Tire Gas Bar in Napanee, Lakeview Tavern in Erinsville, or at the Land O’ Lakes Tourist Office in Kaladar.
