Armed Forces Salmon Assault Event
​Saturday, May 18, 2019

The Muskegon Charter Boat Association is proud to present the annual charity veterans fishing event, the Armed Forces Salmon Assault, to honor our servicemen and women.

The Salmon Assault has several different segments, including 2 different fishing tournaments, a big fish contest, and an award ceremony & luncheon. The main tournament, the "DOD Challenge" will feature all five branches of the armed forces, participants will be selected at random to form a 4 person team which will represent their respective branch of the armed forces and will compete for the biggest 4 fish box. The secondary tournament, the "Post to Post Challenge" will be between randomly selected West Michigan area VFWs, Legions and Clubs who submit a 4 person team, the same biggest 4 fish box rules apply, with a traveling trophy. Also a "Big Fish" contest which can be won by any individual participating; this is based on the overall biggest fish of the day.

Veterans without a competitive side,  we have several "at-large" boats for a leisurely morning on the water. All the participants will receive a free event T Shirt, along with entrance to the luncheon and awards ceremony. The luncheon will include a pig roast with all the extras.

We encourage everyone to join us in AFSA and would appreciate your support. The true intent of this event is to "take our heroes fishing".

This year's format also has many different levels of sponsorship opportunities: trophy sponsorship, full boat sponsorship, co-sponsorship of a boat (2 sponsors per), and charitable mention sponsorship, along with several others. If you are interested in sponsoring please contact us.
