Cast-a-ways Fishing League brings together anglers of all skill levels in the Brainerd lakes area, united by a passion for targeting bass, walleye, and northern pike and of course some friendly competition.

We pride ourselves on fostering a supportive, fun-loving environment where every catch is celebrated, and every outing is an opportunity to make new memories and friends in our tight knit community!
2024 Season

Fishing With Cast-A-Ways

We fish a total of 11 weeks on Monday nights and 1 optional and 1 required Saturday Morning Tournaments from June through August on lakes within 30 miles of Brainerd Minnesota.

We have a maximum of 15 boats, and welcome all skill levels. Each boat can have up to 3 fishing adults, and as many kids under 16 that you want.

We score a total of 6 fish each week with a limit of 4 of any one species (Bass, Pike, and Walleye). Fish are brought in to the landing to be measured. Fish must be alive and legal sized to score!
