41st Annual O.H.M.C.inc. Open Summer Contest
It’s time to prepare for our 41st annual open summer contest to be held at
Alum Creek Reservoir, Delaware, Ohio on July 9th and 10th 2011. Registration
will be held at the picnic pavilion below the dam at the spillway. This
area is located off Big Walnut Rd (aka; Lewis Center Rd) and will be open on
Friday, July 8th from 5:00 PM un&l 8:00 PM and will resume Saturday, July 9th
from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM. We will also have registration on Sunday on an as
-needed basis. Please contact an officer ahead of me if you know you will
only fish on Sunday. Entry fee registration donations will be $15.00. As always
this contest is open to the public. We will be offering a donation only
pancake breakfast at the registration area on Saturday morning. All proceeds
will go directly to the minnow fund so bring your appetite!
It has been several years since the summer contest was held at Alum Creek.
After many years away, we did have a 2009 fall ou&ng at Alum Creek and that
event went well with some nice fish caught. Please remember Alum Creek is
an unrestricted horsepower lake but there are no wake zones and they are
strictly enforced and all boa&ng safety equipment is required. All state and
local boating rules and regulations shall be observed. It is unlawful to operate
a watercraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Obey all navigational
buoys and swim only in designated areas. There will be trophies awarded for
the top three places in the Sportsman division. There will not be a trophy for
kept fish as done in the past as we strongly promote catch and release. A
plaque award will be awarded at a later time to the angler who releases the
most muskies by total inches. (Two or more muskies will qualify.) Each boat
will be given a boat packet containing contest information, PLEASE READ THE
CONTEST RULES CAREFULLY. Each angler who registers will be given a ticket
at registration for the door prizes that will be drawn after the Grand Prize 50th
anniversary rod drawing. The award ceremony and the drawing will start at
3:00 PM sharp after fishing closes on Sunday, at the contest headquarters.
You will need a raffle ticket to participate in the Grand Prize 50th anniversary
rod drawing. Your boat package will contain raffle tickets for you to buy in
case you did not get any earlier in the year. If you can, please buy an extra
raffle ticket at the event, as the proceeds are used to help fund OHMC events
for the following year. We again this year have many other raffle prizes and
door prizes such as rods and reels, gift certificates, and many other miscellaneous
prizes. Winner of the Grand Prize 50th anniversary rod does not need to
be present to win. Tickets and informa&on can be obtained from club members,
local sponsors, or by calling, writing, or e-mailing the OHMC President
(Fred Lederer). Remember to patronize these sponsors because with out
them we would not be successful. Hope to see you all on July 9th and 10th.
