Posts: 13 | The Mike Money Memorial Baitfish Fund has been started to continue the amazing work carried out by our great friend Mike Money. He was the original organizer of the baitfish lure raffle at the Ohio muskie show. This raffle was used to purchase minnows and supplies for the DNR Hatchery. Through the memorial fund we will continue to buy supplies and minnows to help young muskies reach larger size prior to stocking in Ohio lakes. This process extends the life expectancy of these young fish to keep the sport thriving. Mike’s mantra was “life is all about the stories bub”; so through this memorial fund others will be able to create memorable stories doing Mike’s favorite pastime, muskie fishing. This raffle will have two drawings. The first will be on Sunday, January 24th at noon at the Columbus Muskie Show. This drawing will be for anyone in attendance and will correspond with a memorial for Mike Money. Tony Grant and Greg Thomas will collect all trips drawn at the memorial. The second drawing will be during the Akron Canton Ch.19 Banquet on Saturday March 5th. The prizes will include donated fishing trips with some of the best Muskie anglers in North America. The more you buy, the more chances you’ll have to win multiple trips. All proceeds go to the Mike Money Memorial Baitfish Fund which helps Ohio hatcheries raise more and bigger Muskies. Each ticket will cost $10 and can be purchased with cash at different events (Columbus Muskie show booth, Akron Canton Banquet and the Cleveland boat show). Tickets can also be purchased online at Mike Money’s Memorial www.youcaring.com/jason-bond-447564. After making your donation email [email protected] with your donation amount, name, and phone number. A picture of your tickets will be e-mailed back to you. All winners will be called in the order they were drawn and given their choice of remaining trips. First person drawn picks from all the trips and down the line. The current list of guides may grow. We will update the list with any additions. In an effort to keep everything transparent, a bank account has been setup and statements will be posted to account for all funds raised. We have pro guides who are volunteering trips along with some excellent anglers who spend lots of time on the water and have caught large numbers and large fish from everywhere we will fish. Your guide will donate all expenses related to fishing and will have gear. All guides have a boat 18’ or bigger that are rigged for muskie fishing. Winners will reel all trolling fish in and if casting the guides will fish from the back of the boat. You will be responsible for your food, rain gear, and lodging unless noted otherwise. There is no closed season in Ohio so this can be an opportunity to explore new water and learn from some great anglers. With so many lakes close by we will pick the one with the best bite when dates are selected. Please call Jason Bond at 412-951-1296 with questions about the guide raffle. We are going to carry on the Baitfish Lure Raffle and Swap on Saturday night, January 23rd location TBD. We generated over $2000 for the baitfish fund last year. If you have any new or mint condition used lures you would like to donate to the raffle, or would like to sponsor the raffle please contact Gabe Rosplock at 440-796-9926.
