| The First WI chapter of MI will be hosting it's 26th annual on the waters of Chippewa and Rusk Counties. The 2002 dates are Sept. 13-15.
Last year, 290 anglers caught 96 fish during the 2 1/2 day event. The largest fish was 50".
Entry fees are modest. Last year's single entry fee was $35, I believe.
You can view last year's results and see the bodies of water included at this url: http://www.muskiesinc.org/chapters/06/tourney2001results.html
There are many great prizes available for those who place to choose from including cabins stays, gps units, top line rods and reels, etc...
We also have A LOT of drawings. Last year, we raffled off a week's stay w/ one day of guiding for four people at Walsh's Bay Store in the NW Angle LOTW. We also raffled off two $1000 cash prizes. You don't have to catch a fish to be eligible for these drawings.
Most importantly, the proceeds from this tournament go back to stocking the area waters. Our club maintains a rearing pond. As many of you know, last year, suckers weren't cheap so we really appreciate the support this tournament gets from many people. Without this tourney we would have had a tough time feeding the lil' Muskies.
We have set records for fish caught and number of contestants entered three years in a row.
There are many places to stay and, with many waters to choose from, you aren't forced to fish "pressured" water.
If you'd like any more info, give me a shout.
