Thanks to everyone for such great attendance. This helped in getting some business done. We covered several discussions but here are the only two rule changes.
- Rough fish have been removed from our scoring. So no more rough fish..
- We now allow 3 anglers to a team. Only 2 can fish on any given night from one boat, but all 3 are official members and can cover a night with a sub of their choosing, and have it scored for their team.
I think this resolves all our main discussions, so we are in good shape. I really like the 3 person teams, this should make it a lot easier to run a team in the league.
We had many teams pay their entries. We now have 17 teams in the bass group and 8 in multispecies. With several more teams saying they are back and several wanting into the Cloquet group we are doing well.
Thanks to everyone for all their discussion and helping make this better each year.

MMTS and DABL Mandatory meeting, Monday March 19th, 7:00pm at Mr. D's.
Be sure to pay to reserve your spot in any of our leagues. We will be working to get the sponsors lined up shortly after this meeting, so please bring any ideas you have for sponsors.
We will discussing the number of nights we fish, meeting any rookie teams, comparing notes on bigger multispecies tournaments, details on the MMTS Classic this year, etc.
Please join us and let's plan for another great year of fishing.

Several people are interested in fishing the Cloquet (Carlton) Area Fishing League this year. This is a multispecies group and they are only fishing 5 nights (about once a month). A couple of our guys will be organizing it and it should be a blast.
This group will be fishing waters near Cloquet including the St. Louis River, Big Lake, Chub Lake, Island South, and Sturgeon Lake.
If you are interested in fishing, just let us know and we will get you in touch with them. We have a tentative schedule posted but the Tournament Director will be finalizing it. We do have a sponsor, that we will let everyone know about as soon as we finalize it. But they are very interested in getting involved with us and our leagues. This should be a lot of fun.
You can contact me at 390-9973 if you want to hear more. Remember this league is just for fun. $50/yr per team, that's only $25 a person and you only have 5 nights. And if you are in the top at the end of year, you qualify to fish the MMTS Classic with the winners from several other leagues.
Good fishing and see ya on the water, I hope its soon.

With bigger Multispecies tournaments to come soon, MMTS is going to have a separate announcements area here. DABL will have the same on it's main page. Both will benefit from a bigger audience. Hopefully this will lead to more people in the forums and sharing fishing information.
Seeking Volunteers: Any MMTS member that wants to help post announcements, schedule changes, meetings, the results of our tournaments, etc. can contact Doug and he will set you up with that. We always like volunteers to help run our fishing leagues.
Part of this change is the opportunity of BIGGER Multispecies Tournaments. We are working on the details right now. These will be a bit further away, just out of the normal area of lakes and a great way to get others into Multispecies fishing tournaments. We are getting great feedback and it should be very, very interesting to see the turnouts. Remember this is where it started, now we can share the great times we have out fishing with others. I hope some of you check out some of these bigger contests.

We have Updated and expanded our Record book. You can now look at our fishing statistics by the tournament water, the entire league's numbers, and even top scoring individuals and teams. Keep checking in as we make more fishing information for our area available.
MMTS RECORD BOOK - UPDATED AND EXPANDED
Please check out our "JUST RELEASED" League-to-date totals of fish caught, total inches scored, average lengths and longest fish per fish species on each of our waters fished.
This is just a little sample of the information we have gathered over the years of fishing. You can see what the dominate fish species are, the sizes of fish you can expect and numbers of fish that you can catch. This can be great fishing information to look through. If you want to see more be sure to register and check out our full record book.
Good fishing.

Well the weather was nice, but the fishing slower than it has been on the St. Louis River. But the warm water fish were on a bite. We had a lot of quality smallmouth bass and pike tonight, just not many limits and not many other fish. But someone always gets into the fish and scores high.
Team Sarcastic pulled off another big win just to finish in style. They had 161 points with a four species with northern pike, smallmouth bass, perch and rock bass. Great job again, guys..
Second place went to the Old Farts Team with 102 pts, 7 fish and 3 species, including a big 33 inch northern pike and a 19.5 inch smallmouth bass. Very nice fish. Third place went to Team TGIF with a nice four species bag of Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike, Walleye and perch for 98 points.
To show how tough things are getting in this talented group, look at the points scored to finish the top 6: 97, 96, and 94 points. That's five teams within 8 points. You can't get much closer than that.
Great fishing.

MMTS had plenty of volunteers Friday, August 18th to help take the Girl Power Group from the YWCA out fishing. We had two boats taking small groups on the water, while others helped on the shore. EVERY girl caught fish and had a lot of fun.
We had one to two big fish per person and a couple nice bass, including one largemouth bass measuring 19.25 inches. Thanks to all that helped make this happen. I am sure we made memories that won't be forgotten. That's a great thing.
First I want to thank those that came out and volunteered. This included Steve Ondrus, Aaron Hansen, Ed Forrestal, Ouitdee Carson, and my son Jonathan. They did a great job. Thanks Ed for bringing your boat. Our boats made some memories I think they will be talking about for a while.
Thanks again for fishing rods and reels and helping prepare them. And Thanks again to Marine General for the tackle and Fisherman's Corner for the bait. Also Thanks to the Minnesota DNR MinnAqua coordinator, Sarah for the booklets, handouts and suggestions.
