NBAA Portage Lake Open Announced!

The 2005 Blackjack Shootout isn’t the only reason to head north in late September. NBAA is proud to announce the 1st Annual Portage Lake Open. Hot on the heels of the Blackjack Shootout on September 24th, this special event will be held on September 25th on popular Portage Lake, north of Manistee.

Hosted by directors Larry Hayes Sr. and Jr., this event will be run from safe light until 2:00 PM. Plan to drop down to this big fish lake to enjoy this fantastic fishery after the great tournament on Charlevoix. Five and Six pound bass aren’t uncommon, especially that time of year on Portage Lake. This will be a closed lake event, unless too many boats make this unfeasible. The entry will be $100, plus $10 big bass.

Remember, qualified anglers can compete for a $5000 top prize guaranteed plus great prizes in the Blackjack Shoot out then take the short drive to Portage for this big payout first annual Portage Lake Open with a 100% Payback. Register with the Hayses in advance if you plan to attend to help with the planning. We’ll post more info as it comes in.
