Bob, That is a great idea about adding instructions on proper handling of muskies and tools needed in with the Tourney Packet. Trouble is I already mailed them out because I will be on the water every day starting Saturday June 18th thru Friday June 24th and have no time. I will add the NMA Release Pamplet in with the Sept 10th Tourney Packets! Also I'm doing a Seminar on friday September 9th at 7:00 pm the day before the September 10th Tourney, I'll cover Muskie CPR then as well. Capt. Larry

I thaught it was Walleye's are for the Guy's who are Scared of Muskies With Bigger Bad Ass Teeth!!!

Zach,That would be great,having Baker Baits on the table will definately bring out some dollars that would have not been spent! I won four items from the NMA Raffle table tonight,those will go on the Chautauqua Tourney Raffle Table as well. Capt. Larry

Those who are fishing the Chautauqua Musky Cash Tournament June 25th,I could use a little help for Lures & Items for the Raffle Table! If each person could bring One Lure or other fishing related item to go along with the items I have we could build a very big prize table. Please keep trying to get friends to signup for the Tourney also,we need all the funds we can raise.I will talk soon with the NY DEC about our possability of habitat improvement,replanting cabbage & coontail in other places on Chautauqua Lake to have more great places for our muskies to hangout.I stopped by the Prendergast hatchery yesterday and they had four tanks of little match stick size muskies feeding on brine shrimp,they are on their way.

That had to be $100 just in gasoline to cross Lake Ontario and back! Congrads on the Win! Capt. Larry
