Upper Peninsula Competitions

[MI Fish]

I am looking to try and fish a few ice tournaments this winter. Are there many tournaments that take place in the central UP or anywhere else for that matter? I know of one (Teal Lake, Negaunee) and everyone says that it is a really slow tournament usually. I am relatively new to the area, but I would assume that there would have to be more around?

Fishing competitions aren't my thing but the few friendly gatherings over this way are on Vermilac Lake, maybe Otter Lake and a couple in Chassell for Portage Lake.

Maple Ridge Motel in Bergland on Lake Gogebic does a perch contest they call Hog-a-Thon.  I have never fished the lake/area, just a suggestion.

I have fished the one Maple Ridge has http://www.mapleridgemotel.com/Hog-A-Thon.htm the past couple of years and won biggest walleye last year.
It is a good time and top prize for biggest perch is $1000.00 !  The get together after is a good time !
