Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | I own a pretty significant portion of that Circuit.
Paul and I have talked about two next year. I have a really good memory, so I'm not as excited about the idea as he is.
We'll see.

Location: Minnetonka | From what I've heard, this should be a fun little "trial run" of the trail. I'm excited for Paul's format and his way of tournament direction to come back in any capacity. If he is running the tournament, you have an instant +1 from this guy. Cheer up, Steve. :-) |

| I would consider joining for sure. Would be fun for a young guy like myself to start fishing in tourneys that are not far away.
Who needs a partner!?  |

| One question I have on tournies in MN is why do they end by late Sept/ early Oct? Why not have an event post turnover?

Location: Otsego, MN | I think you may Lose a lot of people to fall activities. You compete with ducks, pheasants, deer, and bear hunters, etc. I used to fish the MMTT and loved it, the tonka tourney was in mid-October and had a low turnout. I remember the one year weather was COLD! I personally don't want to have to be fishing in weather I don't want to, and in late OCT and Early NOV you never know what your going to get. That may be a reason for tourneys not going far into the fall in MN. Look at the George Wahl tourney this past year, I chose to deer hunt instead, if that were in the summer I would have been fishing it no doubt. Just my thoughts. |

| I guess mileage varies, my favorite time on the water in the metro is after turnover, but I also do not do any hunting. |

| A big body of water and a smaller body of water. Vermilion is the clear choice for the big one. Smaller one, I would like to see Mantrap, Pelican or St Louis River. |

Location: Madison, WI | Smaller one, I would like to see Mantrap, Pelican or St Louis River.
Mantrap is only 1770 acres with many narrow channels and very little development. when 3M has it's pro/co fishing event it is a zoo. this is exactly the kind of lake that should never host a tournament, especially since it has a very antsy lake association. Potato might be a better choice.
at 4000 acres Pelican is a more reasonable size and is highly developed, and obviously the St Louis river has plenty of space and has hosted large tournaments before.

Location: Chisholm, MN | A slightly smaller lake may encourage people with smaller boats to enter. I wouldn't want to do leech or mille lacs with my 60hp 16' tiller if the wind was bad, but cass, pelican, Bemidji, or something similar would be nice. I can also handle vermilion, which is my first choice.

| My personal opinion is that a tournament of this caliber is mostly limited to the large lakes in MN. We have a lot of terrible boat landings with very limited parking space. |

| Is there any idea on possible dates yet? I want to know when to "not" plan a trip to Vermilion... Although, if someone had an empty seat I would join them. |

thought that the chicago show would have been a good place to annouce a new plan
could be wrong. planning summer fishing trips and time off could allready have been done
by most folks that would partcipate. i know i've booked some trips |
