Did you know?

The Twin Cities chapter of Muskies, Inc. uses funds raised from events like this banquet for:

• Stocking muskie yearlings in Minnetonka, White Bear and other metro lakes, dramatically improving survival rate and increasing numbers of catchable fish sooner.

• Working with the DNR to develop a new long-range muskie management plan to include new muskie lakes.

• Playing an intergal role in getting public support to stock Lake Pokegama, a new lake in the DNR muskie management program.

• Maintaining muskie rearing ponds with plans to add more to implement additional stocking goals.

• Hosting, in cooperation with the Fish-A-Thon organization, youth fishing outings in the Metro area.

• Providing a fishing home opener for several hundred veterans at the Minnesota Veterans Home.

• Hosting outings with members of the Capable Partners organization.

i'm in. i reserved a platinum package a couple weeks back. i really want that Calcutta TE that's missing from your list. they didn't lose it did they . i have a couple friends that might be able to go if the balls and chains get rusty and can be broken easily.

The TE is still there. In fact I think we've got something like $1500-$2000 worth of Shimano reels at the event! As of the other day there was around $13,000-$14,000 worth of prizes for around 125 people signed up. I don't know about you but I like those odds!

so what's the odds for the special drawing, lol? this is gonna be great. i just hope i don't have to go it alone and least one Buddy can break out. they are still too chicken to ask. pitifull i tell ya, just pitifull. i mean really, what's the worst that can happen? but i'll still learn something i'm sure either way. good luck.

Details you ask?...ok I'll spill some details.

Platinum registrations have a 1:36 chance at a Shimano Calcutta TE That's pretty good IMHO!

We have one rod for every 14 registered as of the date of this post.

We are now over $15,000 in prizes, no junk. Lots of high end prizes including some over $500 each.

This event should send a lot of people home with some very nice prizes and make enough money to help us turn up the dial on our stocking activities in the metro.
