Hi everyone,
I wanted to announce that the 2015 worlds will be held July 25th-26th. We will also have a meet-n-greet/cookout on the 24th.

The tournament boundaries are as follows: All public waters with public access in the following counties Lacrosse, Vernon, Crawford and Grant. This includes the Mississippi river pools 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 up to the Railroad tracks on the west side of the river plus the WI river from the Mississippi river to highway 61 near Boscobel. Per WDNR regulations no shooting is allowed in trout streams. There will also be a few other red zones listed at a later date.

We are currently working on donations for the shoot. If anyone is interested in donating money or door prizes please contact me at carpmjh@yahoo.com or pm me here. We look forward to making this an enjoyable shoot for all that are able to attend.

I will be adding more info as it becomes available. Look forward to seeing many of you there.

Good Bowfishing Matt Harris

There is a big cabelas in Prarie du Chein that the shoot is being held out of. I think Matt said today that they can accommodate up to 120 trucks/boats (might be wrong on that). I know that they hold some big walleye and bass tournaments for the river out of there.

whos staying where? any locals know of any boat friendly Hotels? We would need electricity access for charging batteries. Looks like there is a hotel right next to the Cableas that would be handy, but I don't know how "boat friendly" it would be.

Lots of bass fisherman stay here http://www.brisboismotorinnpdc.com/ during the summer. Not a really fancy place but there cheap and have electricity. It's right in Prarie du Chien also. Also the Frontier Montel in Marquette, Iowa would be another good one that's just across the river. I live about 5 miles from Prarie du Chein in the country if you can't find something you can plug it in there.

Awesome, may take u up on that. As of right now we are planning on arriving Wednesday to do some scouting. Going to try to make it up before then too for a weekend to familiarize ourselves with the area. Looks like a ton of water! Any fish up yet?

If you are scouting up-river, lacrosse is about 35 miles north and there are hotels up the wazoo. There are also a lot of campgrounds and small motels all down the river that you could stay at. If you google maps search for hotels, anything really past the small town of Shelby south of Lacrosse down to Prarie would all be good places to stay that I believe would cater to fisherman and river folks. River tourism is where these people make their livings, I am going to say that they would have about everything you would need. Frenchman's Landing I believe has a boat launch for easy river access too (I think that's the one we stayed at.....).
Don't forget, free camping on any island that is on the river. Just find a spot and make it home. Wyalusing State Park is a really nice State park with a lot of scenic bluffs and what-not. We've slept at a couple boat landings down there also. As long as you are paid up and not doing anything mysterious, then you will be left alone.
