Can't thank everyone enough who's involved with this now and before. There'll be a Vet with a big smile on his (or her) face.

Many-many Thanks to all!

Just got back from the swap.....great turnout, a little lighter in the wallet but got a bunch of baits thanks to Beaver. He put some package deals together that even the godfather couldn't refuse. Great to see some of the new and old muskiefirster's at thier best with a donated beer from Tuffy boats.
Thanks Joe Muskie, Shep, and Operation Muskie.
See you all on the water.

I just wanted to say thanks to all the baits that were donated. I missed getting in the credits BIG MAMA BAITS. She donated 4 baits when she first walk in and then gave us another later group after that.

The grand total we raised for Operation Muskie is $1,284.00

A big thanks to all that attended and dug deep into their pockets.

Another huge thank you to the sponsors:
Tuffy Boats
Tackle Industries
Gerry's Girls
Big Mama Baits
C & R Musky Club
Beav (just when I thought we were getting close to done with the raffle he throws at least 35 more baits on the table)

The help:
Netman
Ed Casper and his son Joe
my son Tyler
Steve Worrall
and the Operation Muskie crew

I'm figuring on the same arrangement for next year and hopefully a few improvements.

If anybody has any leads on more sponsors or donations, any help would be greatly appreciated.

This year was the most fun I've had at the swap.

You is welcome
I was thinking today,,,,,,, since this is an awesome charity that we chose to raise money for, why don't we do a better job at it? It wouldn't be hard.
All of us, being muskie fishermen, have tons of lures that never or barely somtimes see the water. If you have a table to sell lures from, you should donate 5 lures to the auction for prizes. The more prizes, the better the auction....correct? Anyone donating a prize will get a free ticket. Its lots of fun, you can get lures at a steal. Let's share and pass things in the right direction. Donate prizes and get tickets for the raffle, or beer tickets if you prefer. That many people and that much stuff in a room should equal more trips for vets. They all took trips that we're glad that we didn't have to take, lets make a serious effort at paying them back.
I can build lures, so next year I'm going to make and donate lures just to and for veterans. There has to be more that we can do.
