Shotgun Start at 6:00 am at the Holland Pier-head.

This tournament has been set up to address hunger in the Holland area. All funds raised will be donated to Community Action House Kitchen (Holland) to support their mission and toward The Order of Naucratius - West Michigan to continue to feed Hungry West Michiganders throughout the area.

Our hope is that all fish will be donated to The Order of Naucratius to be distributed to local food pantries and feeding programs who've been vetted by ONWM.

There will be a raffle at the weigh-in.

This is a family-friendly FUN charity event. We ask you to share your tips on the radio (channel 72) and to keep your comments PG.

There is no end time, you just have to be in line for the weigh-in at 1:15 pm. If you are not in line by 1:15 pm your team will not qualify for any prizes.

We will fish predicted seas of 1-3' or less. (or game day call). In the event that the event is cut short due to weather, the weigh-in will be held 45 min after the cancellation and points will be awarded. If small craft advisories are in effect we will not fish.
