Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Hello
On the shore of the Wolf River just down stream of the Village of Fremont rests Fort Fremont Marine. They are the host of the 14th Annual "Walleye Classic".
The 2014 event is scheduled for April 19-2014. This years event will have a 75 boat max of two person teams. The event will be a $50.00 per team event.
Preferred entries will arrive in mid January. If you fished the event last year, you are a preferred entry. We will then have open enrollment for the spots left. This is a family friendly event. Perfect time to fish with that parent, child or old friend. Good times will be had by all.
The event is sponsored by Mercury Marine, Tuffy Boats, Sheboygan Walleye Club, Glacier sporting goods online and Fort Fremont Marine.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | Just a heads up to returning teams from the 2013 event. Preferred entries need to be in my hands by the end of business on February 11th either by mail or hand delivered. After that you no longer get in the early bird drawings.
Starting at 9am on February 13th Open enrollment of new teams will start. I have some that have mailed them in already. If you would like to ensure you get In I would print and mail the entry form now so you are in the pile for the 13th. You will be first.
The early birds also had a crack at a oil special I have for teams. If there is oil left, I will offer it to any team signing up for the event. Its worth your time.
Thanks everyone for signing up early and I will have a list posted at the end of next week.

Location: Fremont, Wisconsin | I just checked on it. It is a emergency slow no wake that is in effect for the Waupaca county waters from new London down stream to the county line just south of Fremont. The slow no wake is enforced in regular zones as well as with in 500 ft of a permanant dwelling.
I called the Town of wolf river in Winnebago and they have enacted the same deal to the river mouth.
Remember it is not all slow no wake, just when you are within 500 feet of a permanant dwelling. |
