Muskies inc questions

[JohnMickish]

A couple of easy questions here,

1) Can I join at the members meeting or do I have to do it online or thru one of the magazines?

2) How many FM members are Muskies Inc members?

3) What time do the meetings start and whats the usual agenda? How long do they run?

Thanks.

1) I'm sure you can join at the meetings. I would be shocked if you couldn't.

2) I know there's about 7500 members in Muskies, Inc. As far as FM members? Not a clue there. But I know there's a number of them that frequent the site, including myself.

3) It depends which chapter you're looking at as each one is a little different. I'm a member of the Brainerd Lakes Chapter and our meetings are the second Tuesday of each month. I know the Twin Cities Chapter is also the second Tuesday. North Metro? I'm not sure on that one. But I'm thinking it might be the third Tuesday? Our meetings in Brainerd typically last between an hour and a half and two hours. The agenda at the meetings? Each one can be a little different. But a typical meeting can consist of an update on anything going on with the chapter or with Muskies, Inc. in general. People might share any recent stories of fish caught. And there's often a guest speaker and raffles.

Being that you're from White Bear Lake, maybe you've already heard about the huge contributions that the Twin Cities Chapter has made with WBL. They just got a bunch of muskies from one of Paul Hartman's rearing ponds and dumped them in WBL. They've been doing this for WBL for quite sometime. And as they grow and they get more support, they're able to increase their efforts there, not only for WBL, but other lakes as well.

I would strongly encourage you to join and help make a difference in the musky world!

Theres a bunch of FMers at the meetings, many off the guys you see on this forum are members. Muskie Inc. does incredable things for muskie fishing.

You definitely CAN join at the meeting and you don’t have to be a member to go to the meetings either.

Looks like AWH got all the detail correct about the meeting times. The North Metro chapter meets on the third Tuesday as he said. We are at the Fridley KC hall just north of 694 on highway 65. The guest speaker Tuesday night will be Steve Jonesi from Thorne’s. He’s going to talk about fall tactics.

1. You sure can join at the meetings. I did last year.

2. Caulk up one more MI member on the FM forum.

3. Being in WBL you probably will want to go to the North Metro meetings, but the 2nd tues at 7 p.m. at the KOC in Bloomington is when the Twin Cities chapter meets.

I am a memeber of the Twin Cities Chapter, but have yet to attend a meeting. I really enjoy the Muskie Inc. magazine, hope it does not go to 6 issues per year, and I also enjoy reading the news letter from the TC chapter.

I will have to attend a meeting. Any other members on FM?

I just renewed my membership last month. I would recommend it. The speakers are very informative and the magazine they put out is a great read. I only wish it were longer.

I'm also a member of the twin cities chapter. I've been to 3 meetings and been a member for a little over 2 months.

You should join. You can learn a lot and help give back to improve the fishery.
