River Wednesdays Tournament Series
Call it whatever you like, but it's a great way for a beginner to get started or the experienced angler to kick back and enjoy a short evening's fishing. So join us every Wednesday night for an evening of fun and competition. All events will be held on the St. Joseph River, all state laws must be observed. Starting time is always 5:00 P.M. Indiana time, but length of tournament will be subject to change as summer progresses (sunset). Because of popular demand we will fish rain or shine as long as there is no lightning in the area at the start of the tournament.

ENTRY FEE PER TOURNAMENT - $30.00 per team
OF THIS: $20.00 is for tournament payoff, $5.00 is for BIG BASS and $5.00 is for Year End Classic

 PAYOUT BREAKDOWN 
5 boats and under----------------1 place
  6 to 9 boats-----------------------2 places
  10 to 14 boats-------------------3 places
 15 to 19 boats--------------------4 places
 over 20 boats---------------------5 places 

In addition, there will be a one-time start up charge of $10.00 per person to defray expenses. All left over moneys will be placed in the classic pot. There will be a $5.00 SUB-fee for each new sub. That Fee will be added to the classic pot. You do not have to use a sub. If you choose you can fish one man and not be charged the $5.00 SUB-FEE.

 **TEAMS CAN NOT HAVE A SUB FOR THE CLASSIC**

The Year End Classic is by invitation only and will pay top five places regardless of number of boats. In order to be invited to the Classic, a team must have fished at least 6 Wednesday night tournaments in one of the Wednesday night divisions as your original team. There will be no buy-ins, our goal is to reward participation. We encourage teams to stay together throughout the series.
