NMMI League Chairperson

Do you have to be a member of the North Metro Chapter? Or can you still participate if your a member of the T.C chapter?

Joe,
The league is open to the North Metro members. However you may fish any of the events as a partner of a member. Are you currently a Muskies Inc member? If so what chapter?

The North Metro Muskies Inc chapter will be having a pooside demo on May 20th. I will be there and new members will be able to sign up to be eligible for the League.

Good Luck

Steve

Yes, I am a Muskies Inc member. I am a member of the Twin Cities Chapter. I wouldn’t mind fishing with you guys. I tend to fish alone for the most part, and I think it’d be fun to get out and meet some people

Joe,
our guy’s usually have open seats that we ar going to try to fill. Don’t miss out on the July night where the North Metro Chapter goes against the T.C. Chapter and the loosing chapter buy’s pizza afterwards. We Fish Bald Eagle and White Bear that night. We meet at the pizza joint right on 61 afterwards.
I will have my boat down for some of the league this year and have an open seat or two.

Good Luck

Steve

Hey Steve, I would like to fish one of these events with you. Been a long time since we fished the June Jam tourney together! Almost twenty years! Why don’t you PM me your cell #. I could bring my boat home from the lake as well if needed.
