South Haven’s perfect location on Lake Michigan makes it an angler’s dream destination. Miles of shoreline and easy water access points bring out the best in those who live to cast a line. While fishing is a fun hobby for some, for others it’s a passion that’s met with unsurpassed excitement with every new season that opens. As a way to ring in the official start of fishing season in Michigan, the South Haven Steelheaders Pro Am has become an annual icon of angling mastery in this region and is not to be missed.
