The Michigan Fishing Tournament Information System is where you can schedule a tournament or view scheduled fishing tournaments for a particular water body, ramp and date.
This system:
- Helps both tournament organizers and recreational anglers and boaters avoid ramp conflicts
- Allows tournament organizers to report their catch data
Most bass fishing tournaments are private club events that require preregistration and are not open to the general public. Please do not show up at a registered tournament and expect to enter. If a registered tournament has contact information, contact them about membership or registration prior to the date of the tournament.
By law, all bass fishing tournaments are required to be registered in the Michigan Fishing Tournament Information System (MFTIS). Any suspicion of an unregistered event being held in Michigan should be promptly reported to the Report All Poaching Hotline: 800-292-7800.
