It’s all about the short shorts baby! Terry Hickey and Josh Lewis silence the SFL field on Sturgeon today with a solid 17.74 to take the win!

Jeff Blanchard and Mike Williams grab another top 5 with 2nd place and the final piece of hardware goes to Mike Gray and Mike Whalen for 3rd

1 more day until the deadline to enter Sturgeon Lake from Bobcaygeon Ontario.

We are over 60 boats to date and climbing! Event procedures are shown in the map. For those NOT launching with us at Beach Park, you still must come get a boat check at the docks, then proceed back out to the blast off boat. For those launching with us, we will be running a shuttle for parking, even though no lots are more than a 5 minute walk. If you find you own parking, PLEASE be courteous and do not block streets, driveways, fire hydrants. All teams are required to pay a $10 site fee to help cover the park booking($339), and the parking lots ($100) we have arranged. Once we have the $439 recouped, the remaining money collected WILL go into paybacks. Please come early, and stay late! Strang’s Your Independent Grocer coffee corner will be on bright and early for Tim’s and treats, and odds are good that SFL will have a cooler with cold drinks for awards presentations. For teams still looking to register, entry is $250 and includes big fish pools.

Rick and Jessica Verkruisen figure out a tough Tri-Lakes event 2 of the NetBait 2026 Shootout Fishing League season with 18.74 on a 70 boat field.
