                        PWT Anglers Set for Saginaw
                        Bay Walleyes July 31--Aug. 2

    Brainerd, Minnesota....The mid-summer walleye action is peaking on 
Michigan’s massive Saginaw Bay.  In-Fisherman Professional Walleye Trail 
(PWT) anglers will soon seek walleyes in 1,300 square miles of the Bay and 
Lake Huron.

    Set for July 31 and Aug. 1-2, the Lund/PowerBait Northeast Pro-Am will 
headquarter at AuGres, Michigan.  Trolling is a predominant pattern, but 
location is the key for these nomadic walleyes.  Pros will search during the 
practice period.  Their daily tournament amateur partners will learn boat 
control, the use of electronics, presentation methods, the secrets of the 
pros and how they rig for monster fish.

    Of the total $250,000 purse, the winning amateur will tow home a new 
17-foot Lund boat with a Mercury outboard on an Eagle trailer, valued at 
$15,000.  The winning pro will win a $53,000 prize ($20,000 cash and a 
Lund/Mercury/Eagle 20-foot rig).  The Miller/In-Fisherman Angler of the Year 
$25,000 prize will be awarded.  John Kolinski, Menasha, Wisconsin, has a 
21-pound edge going into the Lund/PowerBait Northeast Pro-Am.

    Kolinski has collected three checks this season for $25,500 so far, 
including a couple of third place finishes.  He won four checks last season, 
and has placed in the money every year he has fished the tour.  This is his 
ninth year with the PWT, and third season fishing all six tournaments.  In 
2000, he won the Sportsman of the Year title, an honor that is voted upon by 
his peers.

    After three days of Saginaw Bay competition, the top 10 pro anglers in the 
Dee Zee eastern division will be invited to the Mercury Championship.  Also, 
the top 30  pros fishing all six events will be invited to the Championship. 
  “It’s all on the line at this one,” said PWT tournament director Charlie 
Moore.  A few amateur openings still exist, and Moore reminds any interested 
anglers to contact PWT headquarters at 218-829-0620 for details.

    Daily weigh-in activities Wednesday, Thursday and Friday occur at Northport 
Marina, just east of AuGres on Highway 23, and are free and open to walleye 
fans, starting at 3 p.m.  A special Meet the Pros night has been set for 
Monday evening, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Town & County Lounge, just west of the 
marina.  For fans unable to make it to the stage, follow along with the 
Mercury Real-Time Scoring on the web, www.in-fisherman.com.  The competitors 
are also listed on this site.
