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.

Thanks to all that helped make this happen. Thanks for donating and loaning fishing rods and reels and helping prepare them. This group included Ivan, Ed F., Matt P., Pat Cooke, Ouitdee and my son Jonathan. We ended up with just enough fishing rods and reels for this group.
Thanks 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.
Special Thanks to my son Jonathan and Ouitdee, the FlyMaster for showing and helping us share some time fishing the kids. And Thanks to the YWCA staff for giving us this opportunity.
It is a good feeling sharing our passion for fishing with a new generation and seeing the smiles and excitement.

If you can help please call Doug at 390-9973 and let him know how you can help us teach kids about our great sport of fishing.

Well the weather was a bit windy but nice, but the fishing slower than it has been on Chub Lake for many years.
Team Patience pulled off another big win and keep getting better. They had four species with a limit of northern pike, plus largemouth bass, bluegill and a rock bass. Great job guys..
Second place went to the BHP Team with 111 pts, 12 fish and 3 species, including a big 30 inch northern pike and a limit of bluegills. Third place went to the Proven Presentations Team with a great five species bag.
Prefishing showed a lot of fish biting, but tonight was a tough bite and the teams caught fish in several main patterns from trolling to crappie jigs. But the fish were nothing like they were during prefish. It was great to see some teams adjust and pull off great catches even with the weeds having been treated with chemicals leaving lots of weeds on shorelines and the water cloudly.
Great fishing.

Just a reminder that we will be starting a little earlier, at 5:00pm and end at 8:30pm for our last two nights. That's due to the shorter days and we want some daylight when scoring our fish. So please pass the word along and reminder anyone else you talk to.

Records continue to be broken. Our previous highest points scored for a season was scored by the Good Guys Finish Last Team of Drew and Gary with 1339 points in 2004. But our current leaders have now crushed that number with 1459 points and we still have 2 nights to go. Congrats.
Add to this that there are already 4 teams with over a thousand points each and a shot at breaking that record also. Now that shows just how talented this group of anglers is.
The top four points getters so far this year are:
Sarcastic -- 139 fish -- 1459 points.
TGIF -- 127 fish -- 1287 points.
Team Choppers -- 100 fish -- 1122 points.
Proven Presentations -- 117 fish -- 1045 points.
Note these are also our tie breakers, in case of a tie on position points, so these will decide if needed.
Keep up the great fishing and see ya on the water..

Well the weather was beautiful, but the fishing slower than it has been.
Once again our winning team was the current points leaders, Pat and Ross of Team Sarcastic with 153 points. They had three species bag with two limits of northern pike and rock bass, plus a couple smallmouth bass.
Second place went to Team TGIF with 150 pts and 4 species, including a limit of nice smallmouth including 18 and 19 inch hogs. Third place went to the team of Don and Ron of Frustrated Inc. with another four species bag.
The smallmouth bass and pike are still biting but moving locations frequently with the winds and weather. Team Frustrated's boat had issues on the way in, luckily Team Patience was right behind them and stopped to lend a hand. We do hope that all is well with the motor and Thanks.. to Steve and Dan for helping out once again. They always set a high standard for sportsmanship and I am sure Don and Ron would do the same for anyone also.
I'll say it again.. This is a great group of anglers and talented also.

Night 10 - Big Lake, Cloquet Minnesota - Results are posted.
Click here for the Fish Scored and current standings.
This night had the worst weather of the year and we had to call it early, near 7:20pm due to high winds, lightning, rain and severe weather nearly on us.
Our winning team and league leaders was Team Sarcastic with 132 points. They had three species bag with two limits of largemouth bass and bluegills.
Second place went to another team familiar with winning, last year's champions, Proven Presentations who also had three species. Third place went to the Old Farts again with another three species bag.
Many teams did not get to all their spots and the weather called us short. But everyone did a great job and kept safety in mind, coming to the landing when needed. Thanks..
Great fishing guys..
