Northwoods Muskies Chapter News and Views, January 2014

In like a Lion! Winters grip is heavy, and as the ice builds and the snow gets deeper, we’re working indoors and out to put together a great year in 2014 for the communities surrounding Northwoods Muskies. Our youth ice-fishing outing will take place February 22nd from 10AM to 2PM on Stacks Bay of Lake Minocqua. Equipment, food and bait will be provided to the young anglers and we ask that parents please accompany the kids! We’ll also be having our kick-off banquet on April 5th at The Point Resort in Minocqua. The fun starts at 6PM with a good meal, a guest speaker, and the possible return of artist Virgil Beck who will undertake a popular “live” painting as he did at the chapter Christmas banquet. Be sure to attend this event to start off the 2014 season.
The June 28th inaugural Northwoods Musky Open Fundraising Tournament is getting closer! This fun and family oriented one-day single entry format has something for everyone. A variety of lake groups with different conditions to fish and a low-key, friendly atmosphere are among the many things we hope to make into tradition with this tournament and we’re counting on all our M.I. brothers and sisters to help us make it a reality on the fourth Saturday in June- this year and every year after. Tournament hours are from 6AM to 4PM. The Musky Shop in Minocqua will be awarding over $1000 in gift cards for first, second and third place finishers at our awards ceremony and post-tournament get together. The angler fortunate enough to catch the longest musky of the tournament will be in for another great catch too. Fittante Taxidermy has graciously donated a graphite replica of the longest fish caught in the tournament. We hope you’ll join us to kick off your summer by fishing for conservation!

Enjoy the Hunt!
