2010 FLW Walleye League?

[JoeTC]

When will they be announcing the schedule for the minnesota league events? Or are they not doing the mn league anymore? It seems kinda late but the web site still only shows the 2009 schedule.

Thanks,

Joe

To add to that, you can sign up now. If you are a boater, no problem, if you are fishing as a co, then you might want to start searching for a pro to sign up with.

[kstruck]

Do you need to match-up with a pro, or do you register and they do that for you? I am little confused, as I would like to register for several of the events.

You can sign up w/o a Pro, however you will not be guaranteed a spot in the field (which you would be if you signed up with a pro). It's just a simple numbers rule, if they get 1 of each at the same time, they don't have to search for 1 or the other to keep the numbers even.

[JohnMickish]

Yep, a numbers game and usually there are more co anglers that sign up than boaters. Those co-anglers that sign up for all three events in one region get placed before those that just sign up for one or two of the events. It's worth signing up for. It's a very well run organization with great people. If your looking for a pro there are a couple of walleye tournement sites out there that have message boards for this sort of thing.

The last I heard there were 60 co-anglers on the waiting list for Redwing. They will give preference to people doing the full circiut with boaters first. I have fished the league in the past as a boater and it was run very professionally.

This year I signed up a co-angler and hopefully get in. I did sign up with a boater but we are both only doing the Redwing event.

Uff Da... Anyone here when Entry Confirmations are coming out??

Last year I got mine March 2 so you'd think it would be fairly soon.

[Mike Walerak]

I just got off the phone with Sonny at FLW. There is indeed a 60+ waiting list for co- anglers.

They are just waiting for a few details to be finalized and they will be sending out the Mississippi River confirmations as early as this afternoon.

[hanson]

For anyone eagerly anticipating Confirmations... like myself.

I got mine today via e-mail.

[JohnMickish]

Got mine too. Anyone else who fishes the FLW?

[Fish Head]

I've signed up for Red Wing about a month or more ago. When I called there a few weeks back they said I was on the waiting list. But they said many pros don't sign up until latter, so I should be good to go.

I don't remember getting my confirmation in the mail, but I get so much junk mail that that it could have slipped through. On the phone they told me they had my registration and I'm paid in full, so I'm not worried.
