May 3-4, 2008
Big payouts, low entry fees and free slip rentals will
be featured at the 34th annual Dreamweaver/ Hoosier
Coho Club Classic to be held May 3-4, 2008 in
Michigan City.
First place is guaranteed $7,500 in the
Pro division and $2,500 on the Amateur side while
Classic entry fees remain the lowest on the lake
for a tournament of its kind at $350 for Pro division
and $150 for Am.
Altogether, over $50,000 is expected to be up
for grabs in side pot, big fish and various other awards
as well as contests-within-the-contest like the Big
Jon 2nd Day/2nd Chance and Tournament Trail 333.
The Hoosier Coho Club also hosts a Pro/Am tune-up
tournament on Apr. 26 (100% payback of $100 Pro and $50
Am fees).
Boats preregistered for both contests receive
free slip rentals between the events and a discounted
rate on tournament days in Washington Park Marina. Contestants
will also receive a 10 cent per gallon discount
on gas.
The discounts from the Port Authority are just
the start of a renewed spirit of cooperation
from the city of Michigan City.
The Mayor's office, Chamber of Commerce, Parks
Department, LaPorte County Convention & Visitors
Bureau and especially the Summer Festival Committee,
are all pushing to make the Classic a continued success
in Michigan City.
A huge tent in Washington Park, where the public
will be strongly encouraged to participate, will
be the focal point of the tournaments. Food and beverages
will be available during the Friday evening (May 2) captain's
meeting as well as on Saturday and Sunday afternoons
from the weigh-ins through the awards ceremony.
Also, the Classic is the first event of the Great
Lakes Salmon Series (GL2S) Championship Point Series
which will pay an additional $10,000 to a winner in 2008
as well as boost winnings in future Classics (see www.gl2s.com for
more info.).
