Dear Walleye Madness Competitors:

Entries for the 8/18 Ashtabula event closed at 12 pm midnight on 8/15. 28 teams are entered in the Walleye Madness Tournaments Ashtabula event! It appears that we will be enjoying favorable weather conditions and we’re looking forward to putting on a fun and enjoyable event.

With our entry deadline being so close to the event date it is too difficult to post a roster of participants, especially considering the number of entries we received at the last minute.

There are 28 boats entered in the event. Thank you to those who entered! Here’s what you have to look forward to:

Payouts!
Based on 28 teams Walleye Madness Tournaments will payout based on the following as promised scale:

1st - $1,250
2nd - $1,000
3rd - $750
4th - $500
5th - $250

That equates to a 134% payback vs. the collected entry fees! But wait… there’s more!

For those entered in the Buckeye Sports Center/Mercury Marine Big Fish Bonus benefitting On Target Outfitters an additional $250 for the big fish! Plus each team member gets 3 raffle entries to win a trip for two to Wildewood On Lake Savant valued at $2,318.00!

And don’t forget about the Lund Boats Contingency Bonus: $250 to the highest finishing Lund Boat owner! New, used, regardless of model year, if you fish in a Lund you’re in it to win it!

Add it all up and the potential winnings vs. the $100 entry fee are the best deal going in Walleye Fishing!

Thank you for your entries, enthusiasm and support! Don’t forget about our September 30th inland lake event. It’s the same deal and it promises to be big!
