June 28-29, 2008
The area's largest free fishing contest - Skamania
Mania '08 - is set for June 28-29 as part
of the Michigan City Summer Festival.
Sponsored by the Northwest Indiana Steelheaders, the contest features no
entry fee, no preregistration and is open to the public. All you have to do is
go fish - and be lucky enough to land a steelhead.
The ten largest steelies caught over the two days win certificates to Chief's
Bait, starting with $100 for first place and going down to $20 for 10th. The
13th place fish wins the best prize, a $175 rod and reel combo. And every angler
registering a steelie gets a free trolling or casting spoon.
Fishing times are 12:01 a.m., June 28 through 3 p.m., June
29. All of Lake Michigan and its' tributaries may be fished. Weigh-in will be
from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day at the Steelheaders tent on the south side
of the Michigan City harbor.
