| Ok, I will be the first to ask. Does anybody have any fact or rumors where the PMTT is going in 2012. I just found out I have to have my vacation schedule in by Jan 5 and need some dates. The only thing I have heard is the event in April is at the end of the month. Anybody? |

Location: Appleton, WI | The only dates that I've seen are for Eagle River June 23-24. Travelwisconsin.com and the eagle river chamber have them on their sites already. I've tried the pmtt phone number recently but haven't had any luck. The schedule should be up any day now! |

Ya, I'm ready to jump in as a trail team,..... but I won't untill I hear some solid info on the last two events.
More than a few guys have a bad taste in their mounth when the Cass Lake event was a no go.

I can't see you and Denny going for crappy......It's to relaxing..........besides you'd miss all of the fun Dewy.
Still no info on the PMTT site for the last two tourneys..........Sure would be nice to know for the sake of planning.

Location: Watertown, MN | MN does not issues permit till early 2012, the deadline for application for permits is 12/31/2011 I believe. So before the announce the trail they need the permit in hand, it could be issued early but most likely not. I would put money back to Cass, and the championship Madison or Pewaukee, maybe back to the river.

No permits applied for in Wisconsin on the championship
date and being a Saturday and Sunday, it won;t be in Mn.
My guess would be Indiana.

| Sounds like Denny and Dewey are growing impatient. I think it might be cuz the older guys don't have that much time to decide stuff anymore. Us younger, gook-looking bucks have a lot more time cuz there's always next year. Dewey cooks good though, so they will always include him....Denny?- not so sure! and, what is a crappie anyway, and does it play for the Bears? |

I figure I still got a ways to go. My goal is " shot in the back by a jealous husband as I climb out the second story window.... when I'm 99 " and for all you young Bucks 99 is still a ways off !!!
Keep on eye on your wife's boys !! I hope mine don't read this...yikes !!
Anyway, come on Tim...where we fishin?

| Please allow my very first post of the year to offer an apology. Yes, it is clearly Denny that makes that boat look good (sorry Dewey!) Next, I wish all you fellow tournament junkies a happy and a healthy New Year and hope that your new personal best will come with a judge boat nearby. I woke up this morning with thoughts that hooking up the boat for the first trip to Cave Run is really just 15 weeks away. Not too bad really! Marty Forman |

Location: Watertown, MN | Yes still open, and those are probably events that are already approved, they could be submitted and sitting on someones desk,
G-rome, no tonka in august, full with bass events, do not think you can pull and event in august there to many grandfathered in, Leech, Cass, and Vermillion posssible not sure they would approve the boat field size for July or August on weekend for Vermillion, so If I were betting it will be walker areas

Location: Appleton, WI | The MN event will likely have a different judging system as judge boat events are no longer allowed. That or going to a 48" minimum which I cannot see the pmtt doing. Waiting for a judge boat is now "possession" by MN dnr tournament regulations. |

How do you know this to be a fact? And Why wouldn't the PMTT adapt to a Catch, Photo, Release format?
Where are the regs. regarding what your saying Peon ?

Location: Appleton, WI | This information was given to by the Grand Rapids MN fisheries office earlier today. He read the language of the regulation to me as I applied for a permit myself and was told I had to eliminate the the judge boat format. I will call him back tomorrow and have the documents forwarded to me so I can post them here. I asked him about an anti tournament bias within the dnr and he said it was more about anti judge boats. He also said that the "dnr will not allow a tournament to do anything that Billy Bob fishing the same day on the same lake couldn't do. " My permit was for a big money event out of fortune bay this fall but I need to reevaluate my rules and decide whether or not people will fish without the judge boat format. The pmtt may very well go to cpr for Minnesota, it is to my understanding that they will have to in order to pull a tournament permit to measure fish under 48". |

PMTT has ran events under current MN regulations of 48" min, they had the championship on Bemidji and an a event on cass. It was run like hartmans, catch fish call judge, they will either get their in time to verify fish or photo, but you do not wait for judge boat.

| Hate to rely on memory anymore....but it was just 16-18 months ago, the PMTT event was on Tonka, and I believe we were clearly told that we should call for a judge as soon as your partner had a fish on, if the judge was close enough to watch you measure the fish...that was fine...and if they were not close enough to do so, you could measure the fish with the mandatory bump-board you got from the PMTT and a camera. Honestly, I thought that was perfectly OK by me. Marty |

I also understand that there are some shallow sandbars that have managed to stop Keys Outdoors and others..........How true is that rumor ?
Now that we know where the tourneys are,, Who's fishing it?

Location: Elko - Lake Vermilion | Sorry Wi. Guys but the wmt,... errr,.. so called pro mac doesn't hold a candle to the PMTT.
Why would anybody fish a transport Tourney if they really had a care about the proper handling of Muskies.?
When will the wmt get with the times?????
I can see the pmtt switching over to cpr. format soon......... Hopefully.

| Probably a bit of misunderstanding there. There will not be another "transport" tourney for the WMT, Pro-MAC (actually two separate trails as announced for 2012) or anybody else in Wisconsin now that a 40 inch limit will be in force. That will all be a thing of the past. It is certainly possible that if someone wants to have a transport event for only 40 inch plus fish...they can legally do it...but nobody is going to do it cuz it would be ridiculous. As to whether you like one trail more than another, well I like some girls betten than others...but there are clearly a lot of pretty girls out there. I have fished the PMTT, WMT and last year fished the Pro-MAC too. I also have every single intent to fish them all this year too. All good events, good competition and run by good people. If you must really look at sheer statistical data however: for the most events fished by the most anglers for the most money...it's been the WMT-Pro-MAC. Don't really like to pick between girls I like, but it would not be honest to not say that. Marty Forman |

Thanks for the post Marty. I wasn't aware that the wmt was no longer a transport tournament. I'm glad that they went away from that format. They will probability have more people interested in fishing their events now. Good move.

| Line item #6 in the rules...
6. Starting positions will be determined as follows: a. All teams wanting to fish the entire trail (3 qualifying events) that send their entry before February 16th will be placed in a drawing for starting positions. This will be your starting position for the first day for each of the qualifying events. For the trail teams that send in and make the February 16th drawing, on day two of each of the three qualifying events the starting positions shall be reversed. b. All other entries received that are not fishing all four of the qualifying events, regardless of the number of events they fish, will be drawn next. This will be your starting position for both days of each of the qualifying events. c. All entries received after the February 16th drawing will acquire the next available starting position on a first come first serve basis by the date received. Yes, these teams will likely have a different position at each of the qualifying events in which they compete.
