Gil Hamm Chapter Challunge 2013 - Lake Vermilion

[lambeau]

The annual "Gil Hamm" Chapter Challunge will be on Lake Vermilion from September 18-20, 2013. This event is a friendly competition between 6-person teams from Muskies Inc chapters around the country, vying for bragging rights and a traveling trophy.

The host for next year is Spring Bay Resort, on the west arm of Lake Vermilion in northeast Minnesota. I've stayed there quite a few times, and it is hands-down the nicest place I've ever stayed on a fishing trip: new cabins that have fireplaces, leather couches, wi-fi internet access, free long-distance phone calls, great kitchens, and comfortable beds. The owners are genuine people who treat you more like a friend.

They have reserved a 3-bedroom cabin for a team from our Capital City chapter, with a very affordable rate of $239 per person for the entire week of September 14-21. This is a special rate for the event, and they have waived the normal docking fees - so there are no "hidden" or additional costs beyond that rate. It also includes 3 free meals at the end of each competition day with the rest of the attendees.

Spring Bay will hold this cabin for us until February 1st. If you are interested in attending next year, or just want more information, please contact me: Michael Winther, mike@winthernet.net, (608) 844-1382.

And oh yeah, I almost forgot, there's some pretty nice fish swimming in Vermilion too...
