Just curious if anyone on here is headed to Northern IN for the muskie tournament this weekend. My father and I are in, and I was just wondering if any of you would be there....and I could put a face to a few forum names. Good luck to any of you headed this way.

I wish I was. I hate the fact that whoever planned this event didn't take the PMTT into consideration. Bad planning I assume.

I will be down on Shelbyville fishing the PMTT, but I would LOVE to be in 2 places at the same time. Good luck to all, and remember shallow flats!!!

I'd say bad planning on the part of the pmtt myself, the Indiana Classic has been around this weekend longer then the pmtt has been around... I will be down there in my Tan Tuffy Rampage, but am not fishing in the Tourney, though I WILL be Musky fishing anyways.. More then likely if I am out there it will be on the Barbee chain, but then there are other lakes around there...

Took mine in for the ten hour check today... Turns out the throttle linkage was not set to go WOT, will be interesting to see if the top end increases a bit..

Talk about bad planning, you have the pmtt on shelbyville, this tourney in indiana and the imt on evergreen. Did they not get an MI calendar?

i am also pretty sure the indiana classic has been on the calander pretty much the same weeekend, way before the pmtt was even created. i dont fish either but this wouldve been the year to hit the indy classic if i had known early enought hat there would be a conflicting date. less boats to deal with!! along with probablly alot less egos!!!! anyone know how many boats are entered for this weekends classic??

FYI...there are about 90 boats in the IN classic this year. Just got off the water of day one....very wet and a cold front moved through in the afternoon. Talked to one who had multiple fish(5), talked to many who had none. We'll see what really happened on all three lakes tonight when we all gtet together.

Lots of fish caught on day 1(friday). 23 to be exact. 96 boats total spread over 3 lake systems(Tippy chain, Barbee chain and webster). Never heard how sat or sun went though.. I am guessing the guy with 5 fish won.. his total on friday was 202"(actually thought he had 6 but either way that would be tough to beat)... Heard of someone on webster catching a 46" fish. Josh, I stopped by the Wagon Wheel on friday night, wasn't planning on it so forgot about this post...

The classic might have been started before the PMTT, but common sense tells you not to have 3 tournaments on the same weekend. The PMTT is a big money tournament and the classic is for gear, lures, lodging, etc.... I belive the classic's date should be changed.

Webster/Indiana are my home waters and where I guide. I couldn't be there since I am also a PMTT Trail Team. There are a lot of guys that would have fished both if they were on different weekends.
