[mostlymuskies]

Bob, Thanks you are the 3rd to sign up. Now if we could get seven more,we will have start up expenses covered.

Capt. Larry

[mostlymuskies]

Oldman,has signed up for two Tourney Entries. Now we have 5 Entrants,need 5 more to cover startup expenses!

Capt. Larry

[mostlymuskies]

We now have 6 Tourney Entrants,Ray J. got a 2nd Entry for his fishing partner for the Tourney,but we still need 4 more to sign up to cover start up expenses.

Capt. Larry

[zach]

I am in need of signing up myself +1. Need to sell some baits first though to pay for it.

[Ronix 51]

im not an experience tournament fisherman but i would like to see what its like...anyone need a fishing partner for the tourney? wouldnt want any winnings just an opportunity to fish!

[zach]

Ronix- You'd have to fight my girlfriend for a spot in my boat. What is tournament experience like? It gives us goofy people a reason to fish even harder than we normally do. It's fun unless Solgrande comes in to where you are fishing and immediately nails a 45" on a bait you just sold him the night before in a spot you've been already over 2 or 3x in the past hour. That is a little tough to deal with. That's why he is a "marked" man for this year! Remember Solgrande- I'll be watching you, even when you can't see me, I'll be watching you. Zach "Eyeballs" Baker

[solgrande]

thanks for the bait

[zach]

Think I can get it back? lol. Let me guess?

[mostlymuskies]

Zach, Just make yourself Two of the Same,one for each side of the boat,CPR Twice as many as Bob! I'll need One Bait from you for a Raffle Table to Support the Bait Fish Fund at the Lure Swap. Anyone wanting to Signup for the Chautauqua Musky Cash Tournament for the Early Draw of (4) Four Beckman Magnum Finsaver Nets must get in by April 1st, you can signup at Musky Road Rules / Lure Swap!

Capt. Larry

[zach]

Larry I am just a few days away. I am waiting on hooks, split rings and screw eyes and then I will get you a few. Think If I give you them at Road Rules thats cool? I have a few nice ones that may bring a dollar or two in. I thought I would be ready for 3/1. I have like 70 new painted baits all finned out ready to cleared as soon as I get my hardware. May get it today in the mail. My painting has gotten so much better than the ones I brought to PA last month. I am on a roll and the only that I feel can stop me now is me. I will post some pics when they are finished and let you guys pick the ones that look the best for the auction. Larry, remember I have a few BM Shads by Bob M from Ohio. He donated these and told me to put them in the next ebay auction. I really need to do that for him. I promised I would.

[mostlymuskies]

Remember to get your Entry Fee in by Dec 31st to be in the Drawing for the Four Beckman Magnum Finsaver Nets!

how many people allowed per boat?

[mostlymuskies]

Ronix, There is no limit of how many persons are in a boat. Each person in the boat has to be in the Tourney. Tourney Entrants from the same boat can sign the witness part of the Release Form for any Tourney Entrants Musky Catch & Release.A picture must be taken of the Tourney Entrant holding the Musky with the Tourney Button showing on shirt collar,sleave etc..,can be on cell phone or camera to be show when Release Form is turned in.

[mostlymuskies]

65 Entries as of April 26th,we will have well over 100 Entrants by the time of the Tourney.

Capt. Larry

[BlueEye]

This is great news Larry - can't wait to participate! Who do you have as official tournament sponsors thus far?

[mostlymuskies]

I have not added Sponcers so far for the same reason the Tourney is stand alone from any one club or organization,the Chautauqua Musky Cash Tournament is by muskie fishermen for muskie fishermen, with all of us muskie fishermen giving back to the muskie fisheries through the Bait Fish Fund! I'll ask everyone on the 25th of June for imput from all fishing in the Tourney if we should advertise Sponcers and seek more Sponcers for product or cash donations for the Tourneys to benefit the Bait Fish Fund!

[mostlymuskies]

Ok,we got to 75 Tourney Entrants then it seems to have slowed right down. We need everyone that has signed up for the Chautauqua Tourney to help us out and see if they can get someone to join us.Ask a friend,tell people you meet fishing about the Tourney,add another person for the Tourney to your boat for the day.The hatchery has a good start this year collecting eggs for the muskie program,together we can make a big difference in maintaining and making NY States Muskie Fisheries World Class! Please copy the attached Tourney Flyer and hand it out or post it all over!

Thanks, Capt. Larry

[Ronix 51]

make it 77 Captain Larry me and my buddy will be entering and trying it out even though neither of us have ever caught a pure or have any knowledge of Chautauqua! haha any pointers will help we're just doing it for the learning experience and the chance to pick all of your brains it will be fun either way though we're pumped

[mostlymuskies]

Mike,Thanks for your two Entry Fees! Send me an email at [email protected] and I can give you some pointers on where to start on Chautauqua Lake on June 25th.

Capt. Larry

[mostlymuskies]

We now have 90 Fishermen in the Tourney,only need 10 more for a full field.Then from 101 entry and on all funds go directly to the Bait Fish Fund.McDonald's signed on as a Sponser today,each Fishermen will get Free Big Mac Coupons and we will be able to advertise at all participating locations in WNY.

Need everyone to try and get one friend to join us at the Tourney,would be nice to have 150!
