Vermillion/Huron Walleye Tournament - October 12, 2013 Port Captain Dave Skrobot

The final tournament of 2013 turned out to be one of the best finals ever. From the out-standing weather to the great turn out. The last event, a joint tournament between Metro West and Huron Valley will go down as one of the best. Everyone was at least able to catch a couple of fish. There were twenty 5lb. plus fish weighed this year. There were twelve boats and forty anglers in the contest. Thanks to all that came out to enjoy a spec-

tacular day of fishing. Special thanks to Tom O’Harris and the Sir Walter crew for all the help at the weigh in. Thanks Again!!! Dave Skrobot
