Cabela’s MWC Heads to Henderson Harbor, New York
June 2 & 3 on the Eastern Basin of Lake Ontario
Minnetonka, MN -- The next stop on the Cabela’s Masters
Walleye Circuit schedule is June 2 & 3 on the Eastern Basin
of Lake Ontario. Versus (Vs.) Network is the title sponsor for
this tournament with the community of Henderson Harbor, New
York hosting it. Weigh-in will be held at 3 pm both days at
the town of Henderson boat launch. The public is invited to
attend. Many prizes will be awarded to the crowd as well as
the participating anglers.
Thirty-five teams will be competing for a purse of $19,600
with $8,976 awarded to the first place team. 6 teams will receive
payout accordingly:
1st: 8,976
2nd: 4,092
3rd: 2,488
4th: 1,788
5th: 1,256
6th: 1,000
In conjunction with the NPAA, the Cabela’s MWC will host
a Youth and Family Fishing Clinic immediately following the
weigh-in on Saturday. These clinics have been held at each of
the MWC tournaments this year with huge success. Rods, reels,
and tackle boxes equipped with essential gear have been donated
by the MWC sponsors, in particular Cabela’s and Lowrance
Electronics, which creates many happy faces for kids getting
their own gear to start fishing. 25 lucky kids will receive
the gear at the clinic.
“It is really great to see the kids’ faces when
they get their own rod and reel and tackle box,” shared
Alan Baumgardner, one of the MWC East anglers leading the clinics.
“It means a lot to us to share our love of fishing with
kids that are just now getting that opportunity.” Kids
under 6th grade are asked to have parents attend with them,
for safety sake in handling tackle.
