Location: Poynette WI. | If we're taking the reel repair class should we bring anything besides our reel, maybe some tools ect? Just wondering and would like to be prepared by to make the most of the class. Thanks |

Location: MadCity Wisconsin | Elijah, yes if you have tools for your reel bring them. The instructor will have 6 in each class but might not have tools readily available if you don't bring your own.
Glad you can join us next Saturday. |

Location: MadCity Wisconsin | For those who have not yet registered for the Muskie School, the last day to send in registration forms by mail is Tuesday, 03/10/15. After that date registration confirmation notices may not be processed and sent back to you in time. Late mail registrations should be picked up at the Registration Table as Will Call.
Walkin registrations are now welcome the day of the Muskie School. The price has now gone up to $45.00 for adults and will remain $10 for those age 17 and under. Doors open at 7 am for coffee with the Opening Plenary session beginning at 8:15am.
Over 200 students have now registered for the fourth straight year!
Thank you for your support. Proceeds will help fund Lake Monona muskie stocking as well as Scholarships for Waunakee H.S. Seniors.
We are certain you will enjoy the day.

I am in one of the reel classes as well. I've never torn a reel down so I don't have a clue what tools are recommended/needed for reel maintenance. I'm brining an Abu 6601 C4.
Could you (or any of the readers) give me an idea of what the basic necessary tools are?
Much appreciated. See ya Saturday!

Location: MadCity Wisconsin | TheShow…….Sorry, I don't know either. Maybe someone else on the board can help.
I would be willing to bet that the Reel Tech will break the reel down for you and give you a complete list of tools needed since there are only 6 in the classroom. |

Location: Yahara River Chain | Small Screwdriver -both reg and Phillips
10MM nut driver or wrench
Small L hook for taking out the c-clip
Q-tip
rag
old tooth brush
oil
grease
(instead of solvent I use WD-40 to clean parts - not for lube)
if I think of more I'll add to the list. I have my tool kit in the garage and I check it out tomorrow. I can even post a pic

Location: Yahara River Chain | Here are my tools in pictures form. The small screw driver set you can get a good one like on the left or a cheap one on the right. The other tools you need are a 10MM nut driver or a wrench, oil, and in the parts tray is my "L" hook to pull the "c"-clip at the end of the crank drive and at times your drag washers will stick together at times. Also a bit of grease, all these fit into a small Plano box (not the tray or nut driver) that also have parts for my Abu Garcia (mostly) reels in the box.

Location: Pewaukee, Wisconsin | Great turnout. Lots of people enjoying the day talking muskies. As promised I marked maps and gave out lots of good info on Pewaukee, Okauchee, Oconomowoc and Lac Labelle. Glad to help out my muskie brothers and sisters.
Stopped at Dorns for 20% off after the show. Great selection of muskie tackle and other stuff. Spent too much but found some must have things.
Great to see everyone and talk muskies all day today. Food was great as always. |

Location: Poynette WI. | Thanks to all who volunteer there time, way to many names to thank everyone! I brought my dad who doesn't muskie fish for the first time and he loved it. He was very impressed to say the least and took some electronic classes and made some great contacts as well. I kicked started the day with spring muskie and all 3 gentleman were very helpful and shared some great information. Also had the reel repair class and Gary took very good care of my reel actually gave it a good cleaning and showed me how to remove the spool and fixed my clicker, that was awesome! Steve's pool side demonstrations were very helpful and I will be taking a ton of that advice to the water and have no doubt it will help make for an easier day casting and more fish in the boat. I've watched several of his videos on alot of the same stuff but watching it in person just helps it sync in more. Just all around great stuff with top notch anglers. Best money I ever spent. Probably could've bought some nice gear with all the raffle money I spent but on the bright side there just might be a few more fish swimming around for me to catch since some of that goes to stocking. Already looking forward to next year's !
