Welcome to the 2021 Western Wisconsin Riverbank Rally!! Here are the rules of how this tournament will be ran and how the entry fees/payouts will work:
Up to 100 anglers will be participating.
The tournament is allowed at ANY riverbank of your choice in the general region of Western Wisconsin, including the Mississippi River and St. Croix River. This tournament falls under legal Minnesota and WI DNR guidelines, so anglers in the western region of WI ARE permitted to fish the MN side of the river. All DNR laws are to be followed in MN/WI boundary areas. The tournament will run from April 3 to August 29, 2021. You are free to fish for the 5 qualifying species at anytime. The tournament is based on LENGTH of fish. When an angler catches a fish in a qualifying category, he/she will measure the fish from tip of nose to the longest part of the tail. The angler will send a picture of the fish to our email at 6lbsmallmouth@gmail.com or on or Facebook Messenger (James Gang Fishing Company) and notify us the length of the fish. We need the anglers to display this code in each picture so we know that it was taken during the tournament!! Just use a marker and write on a piece of cardboard, card stock, note card, etc and make sure it is visible. The tape measure will be over or under the fish in the picture.
