The permit for the 2008 Lake Wissota Walleye Open has been approved. Here are the details:
Date: Saturday, June 21, 2008.
Format: 2-angler team tournament.
Bag Limit:4-fish tournament bag, with up to two over 18″ and the rest under 14″ (this is a result of the 14-18″ protected slot on the lake). 5 fish may be in possession. Culling is strictly prohibited.
Entry Fees: $220 per team of two anglers. Includes $15 towards the big fish pot, $5 towards the top family team pot, and a $5 facility use fee. Each angler must be a member of the WWWAA. New members may join and pay their annual dues ($20 per family) in conjunction with their tournament entry.
Payback: 80% of tournament entries to the top 20% of the field. We will also have a big fish pot and a top family team pot, featuring 100% payback of those portions of the entry fees.
With a full field (40 boats), 1st place will pay $2000, with a $600 big fish award and a $200 top family team award. We will pay down 8 places with a full field. Actual payback amounts and places will be determined by the number of paid entries.
