No-Mo kayak fishing tournament, May 19

   No-Mo stands for no motors. For this fourth annual kayak fishing tournament any boat that uses paddle power is welcome. Although canoes fit this requirement, kayakers have been the ones showing up each year.
   Tournament waters include any water in Michigan that is open and accessible to the general public. Your private pond isn't included.
   A required captains meeting is set for May 18 at Riverside Kayak Connection, (734) 285-2925. You can get application forms at www.kayakfishthegreatlakes.com. Go to forums then click on the general kayaking thread.
   Other questions, contact event chairman Chris LeMessurier at chris@kayakfishthegreatlakes.com.
If you don't own a kayak but would like to see what this popular sport is all about, come out to the weigh-in May 19 beginning at 4p.m. at Bass Pro Shops.
   You'll be able to see boats and how they are set up and visit with anglers who paddle them. This is a great way to get tips and ideas before you purchase a kayak.
