FAMILIES. We’re about family, and friends, and fishing buddies, and everyone who makes up the great community of boating and enjoys the peace and exhilaration of a day on the water.
FISHING. Fishing is the genesis of our business and the core of our passion. Our boats are designed and built by fishing enthusiasts for fishing enthusiasts
FOREVER. Many of our customers’ parents and grandparents owned an Alumacraft. They stick with us because we’ve been a part of their family and memories for generations. The quality we put into our boats builds trust that lasts forever.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE BE SURE TO READ AND UNDERSTAND TOURNAMENT RULES!
The rules can be found on the tournament registration page on the website. We have many new members fishing this tournament for the first time. The rules
are VERY different from many other tournaments, including our own ice tournament. The rules will be reviewed in the rules meeting on Friday night, but
the more familiar you are, the better! Let’s all help make the rules meeting go as quickly and smoothly as possible! We want to end the evening at a decent time
so we can all leave and get our rest for the big day!
TOURNAMENT PACKET
Please have each member of your boat review the information in your tournament packet! These will be given to the person who checks in on your boat’s behalf at the Friday night dinner and rules meeting. Much of what you need to know or may have questions about is included in this packet, such as a copy of the rules, payout structures, minimum lengths and limits, etc. It is also recommended that you bring this packet in your boat!
FISHING AREA Legal fishing area for the tournament is Woman and Girl Lake, no
other Lakes can be fished. Any boat found outside of these areas during tournament hours will be immediately disqualified.
DOCKING & RESTROOMS
You are only able to land your boat at Woman Lake Lodge. If you are seen docked anywhere else on the lake, it will be an immediate disqualification. Porta-potties are provided at Woman Lake Lodge outside of the weigh station for your convenience.
BUFFER ZONES
You must maintain a 50ft. space between your anchored boat and another anchored boat.
INCLEMENT WEATHER Severe weather in the morning may result in a delay of start time. Any changes to start time due to weather will be posted immediately in the members-only Facebook group. If there is inclement weather throughout the tournament, it is up to your discretion to take whatever action necessary to ensure safety. No refunds will be given due to weather.
