The Minnesota Muskie tournament trail will have 5 events in 2006 these can be done has a trail or individually entry fees and prizes vary

2nd,,,3000
3rd,,,2000
the specifics for how the top three teams are determined are comming latter


I realize I didnt list the hours of the events that will be listed on the website,,Paul wanted me to get the word out knowing some anglers want to or have to plan their vacation time around the first of the year,,,For a better description of the trail the info should be updated on the website within a couple weeks the address is

www.mnmuskietournament.com

you will also find a ph number there for any questions or early entrys

"Anglers that have seen the details before this have took to nicknaming it the "50 incher tour" because all events are on premir trophy muskie waters

If this should be listed in another forum could someone please do that

Happy, do you know if the Metro Tournament is still an individual event? I assume any individual finishing in the top three will get the full $1000 for the team tournament on Tonka.

The metro tourney can be fished alone ,,has far has qualifying for the championship on tonka,, I think you would want to have two people in the boat because remember he uses the new technology for registering fish, I'll ask Paul that question specificly after baby and xmas

You will be able to pick your partner for the championship if you place in the top 3 in the metro tourney. That is my current under standing of how he will handle the situation.
