13th Annual Streiff Sporting Goods Fishing Tournament
Lake of the Woods, Warroad Minnesota
The 13th Annual Streiff Sporting Goods Fishing Tournament will take place Saturday, July 7,
2012. This is your opportunity to be a part of an ever growing event!
A snapshot of the event looks like this:
There is a mandatory meeting at Streiff Sporting Goods the night before the tournament, where registration takes place, teams are presented with the rules, and refreshments are served. The public is also welcomed at this meeting.
Tournament day is exciting as boats check in and are sent out for the day. The tournament consists of 100 two-man teams that leave the Warroad docks at 8:00 a.m. and return at 3:00 p.m. As the teams are out fishing, we also host the 5th Annual Kid’s Fishing Tournament off the docks and jetty at The Point in Warroad. This is a free event for kids 12 and under.
Around 3:00 p.m., the real excitement begins, as boats start coming in, fish are weighed, and numbers start to go up on the leader board. This year there will be a closed off area where beverages will be sold. Attendance at the weigh in in the past has been 350-400 people, as more and more of the public join in!
You can be a part of this exciting tournament in one of four ways:

-
We have been authorized by the state of Minnesota to have 8 (eight) fish, with one being over 28 inches. No fish
between 19 1⁄2 - 28”.
-
We will be issuing tags for the fish. Each team will be given 8 (eight) tags. Every fish you put in your live well must
be tagged. If the boat inspectors check your boat and you do not have a tag on a fish, you will be disqualified. You
must tag the fish so that the tag cannot fall off or be pulled out. Any fish brought in with tags that have been
tampered with will be disqualified. You must return all your tags regardless of how many fish you weigh in. Any
team not turning in all 8 (eight) tags will be disqualified. There will be no exceptions to this rule. No excuses will
be accepted if you do not have all 8 (eight).
-
Boats will be periodically checked on the lake. We will pull up beside you and one person will jump into your boat
and inspect your fish. Please help us out and be cooperative with this so we can make it a quick and easy check
for everyone.
-
The public has first use of the docks for loading and unloading. Please be respectful of that.
-
Life jackets must be worn when running to and from fishing areas.
-
Tournament Start: We will be starting the boats from the city dock area. We will be doing this by flights. You will
be responsible to present your boat number at the time your flight is to depart. It is mandatory that you depart in
numeric sequence within your flight. You are responsible to line yourself up while you are waiting for your
scheduled departure time. If you are not in sequence within your flight you will be asked to move to the end of
your flight. If you miss your scheduled time you will leave at the end of the last flight.
-
Tournament Check In: We will have a tournament official on the docks at the check in times. It is your
responsibility to report to that person on time. There will be no exceptions. When you pull up to the dock to unload
your fish, one team member should already have the fish in the bag along with your team number and all of your
tags. The tournament official will confirm your arrival and then the team member with your team number and fish
need to report directly to the weigh in station. Do not put the team number or your extra tags in the fish bag. Once
you have dropped off your partner to go weigh fish, please pull away from the docks so other boats may unload.
After weighing in the fish, your partner will return to the boat or get the trailer for you to load the boat.
-
It is mandatory that all teams check in at the end of the tournament and return all tags and team numbers, even if
you do not have any fish to weigh in. If you do not check in, you will not be allowed to enter our tournament again.
We will bill you $25.00 for the tags and team number. No exceptions!
-
Awards and door prizes will be presented at The Point after weigh in is completed. This should be around 5:30
p.m.
-
The largest fish caught for the day will be mounted by Sportsman’s Taxidermy free of charge.

Forgiven and Clean
May 23, 2012
Each of the following devotionals, Jody and I have read and
been inspired by, through “The Upper Room”.
So much so, we wish to share them with all our friends! Enjoy and learn with us…
Read Psalm 103:7-18 (NIV)
As far as the east is from the west, so far has the Lord
removed our transgressions from us. –
Psalm 103:12 (NIV)
Today I was working in the garden and getting down and dirty
while planting the corn, green beans, lettuce, peas, carrots, tomatoes,
etc. When I went into the house to wash
all the dirt off my hands, I just couldn’t get that dirt from underneath my
fingernails. No matter how hard I scrubbed I just couldn’t
get all that dirt out of there. This
really got me thinking about the verse above that Jody read to me a few nights
ago. It hit home as to how the Lord has
removed our sins, but I, a humble man can’t even get the little dirt off my
hands. What a wonderful thing the Lord
has done for all mankind.
Our own attempts to wash away our shame or cover our sin
cannot succeed. But the forgiveness God
offers is above exceptional, excellent, extraordinary, and thorough. I need to be cleaned of the guilt and
released from the power of sin, and only God can do that. Each of us can confess our failures to God in
prayer and be cleansed and forgiven. God
is GREAT!!!!
Thought For The Day
Only God can wash away the stain of sin.

A Map to Christ
Each of the devotionals that I post, Jody and I have read and
been inspired by, through “The Upper Room”.
So much so, we wish to share them with all our friends! Let the journey begin…
May 11, 2012
Read John 14:1-7
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were
making his appeal through us. We implore
you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to
God. – II Corinthians 5:20 (NIV)
While working as a personal fishing/hunting/exploring guide
I never leave home with out a map. Maps
surround my life, whether it’s on the lake or just looking on the plot map for
that perfect piece of property to target the specific spices of the
season. And without the proper legend
and reference markers, we think that we might be safe, but we’ve all of a
sudden wondered off the path and into trouble.
Many times this reflects our lives. Many of us are like living maps that lead
others to Christ. To do this our maps
must include love, kindness, gentleness and generosity. They must be oriented in such a way that the
user is pointed heavenward and not in the direction of the world. And they must be scaled to encompass all of
God’s children, not just some select group that we feel most comfortable with. I want to allow God to shape my life so that
it guides other towards Christ.
Thought For The Day
We may be the only maps to Christ some people will ever see…
