Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI | Added a 1/2 day Lake Michigan Charter aboard the Lil' Tiger Too Charter Boat out of Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Captain Ray Kunesh is one heck of a fisherman and knows how to catch a lot of trout and salmon for you.
You will fish in ultimate comfort aboard a 32' Carver. This rig is set-up second to none. I have fished (and slept over night) aboard this boat. Top dollar on these tickets should be gotten in the raffle. A normal 1/2 day trip is $360+. |

Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI | Rodd Umlauf donated 2 prints to be raffled off on Saturday night. In addition to that, he is giving a 50% discount to the lucky angler on a painting of the largest musky over 50" released during the tournament.
If you are not familiar with Rodd's work all you need to do is check out many of the covers of Musky Hunter Magazine or the Musky Hunter Calendar.
Got a call from Kristy. The Thorne Bros custom musky rod has arrived at the store. THANK YOU STEVE JONESI AND THORNE BROS!!!
More to come.

Location: Sheboygan Falls, WI | Thanks Dan, Kristy is working hard on getting things for fisherman and non-fisherman alike. Unfortunately, of all the letters sent out a couple of weeks ago, she has not heard much back from the manufactuers or guides.
Spoke with Steve Jonesi last night and his trip is a FULL DAY on Mille Lacs.
Dan Wojtusik stopped in yesterday morning and spoke with Kristy. He really liked the set-up and format of the tournament, but he has a prior engagement with his wife over the weekend. He said he still wanted to do something for the tournament so he bought a Lakewood tackle box and donated that. He also said the he did not need to be recognized as he has nothing to gain from it. Well, sorry Mr. Wojtusik, I will not let this go by unrecognized. THANK YOU DAN!!! Your generosity and thinking of the tournament and benefit is most greatly appreciated.
Pastika's Sport Shop donated a gift certificate for $50. THANK YOU AL AND SUE!!! For all of you musky anglers out there, most of you already know that Al and Sue have put together one of the 3 top catalogs in the musky industry. A great shop with a beautiful catalog.
As you read through this list of donors and sponsors, please support them as they are supporting a GREAT cause. Remember, ALL money brought in during the raffles will be donated to the American Diabetes Association. These people have stepped up and gone the extra mile to help in making this a success.
