The Bay De Noc Great Lakes Sport Fishermen Club (Bay De Noc Walleye Club) announce results of the annual Bay’s Wal-Mart Classic August 6, 2016 . The event took place out of Escanaba’s Ludington Park. 20 teams fished Lake Michigan waters in search of a 3 fish walleye limit. Teams can weigh two fish over 23 inches and one fish under 23 inches. A majority of the teams pulled cranks which made sense, because the fish locators were full of bait balls from the alewife invasion the last month. The bays continued to impress with some nice bags of fish weighed.
