Return to Port

A small fishing boat returns to the Algoma, WI harbor after an early morning on Lake Michigan.

This was the first morning of the Kewaunee/Door County Salmon Tournament.  You can still see remnants of the heavy fog that kept a lot of boats from venturing out early this day.

The K/D Tournament is a big, big deal in these parts.  According to their Facebook page…

The KD Salmon Tournament is an amateur sport fishing tournament that runs for 9 consecutive days each summer. Approximately 2,300 to 2,800 contestants participate each year and over $40,000 in prizes are awarded. The largest fish caught will win the lucky fisherman $10,000 CASH. Most years the prize payout reaches 200 or more places.
