Lucky Libby's Make-A-Wish tournament

[lpeitso]

Hey Everyone,

If you ever needed a good excuse to go fish Tonka on a Saturday in October here you go. Libby is having a charity fundraiser for Make-A-Wish of MN this Saturday. Even if you can't make it for the tournament, you should make it down for the Awards at 3:00 at Maynards. They will be having a silent auction for items both fishing and non-fishing. I heard that one of Tim's neighbor's donated some 50 yard line tickets to the vikes later in October. I talked to Tim last night, and asked him to get me a list of items for the auction. Hopefully I will get that, and post it under this one. The cost to fish this tournament is $150 per person, or $400 for a boat of 3 people. You make your checks out directly to Make-A-Wish foundation of MN. For more information on this event, here is a link to the flier: http://www.wishmn.org/images/Libby.pdf .

Please consider supporting this event, as Make-A-Wish is a good orginization. I will post updates for the silent auction as I get them.

Here is what I got from Libby.

There are two sets of $90 Vikings tickets that are really really good seats. We also have some Fig Rig rods, a marine band radio, and some Ranger wear. So it is really good stuff. We need some other things though.

What type of "Other" stuff are you looking for?

She is in school right now, so I don't know what exactly they might be looking for. I would guess fishing equipment that could be auctioned off, with all the proceeds going to Make-A-Wish. First, Second, and Third place are plaques. Call the number on the pdf, and ask what they may be looking for. I am just trying to help get more people involved in a good charity.

How did it go today?

[lpeitso]

There were 12 or 13 boats. Only 1 fish caught. My partner had 6 follows early, and later in the day missed one on a spinnerbait. Everyone saw fish early, but weren't getting hooks into them. My partner had his reef hawg roll, and the fish bumped the backside. The day turned out nice once it warmed up. Water temps were still in the 60's. I am looking forward to possibly doing this again next year. There were some good deals at the silent auction.
