Greetings!

Welcome to this month's newsletter!

This month's meeting is Lure-making. For the past 2 years we have learned how to make double #10 style bucktails. We'll do it again this year! For about 1/2 the price you'll get the chance to select from a variety of skirt colors and blades to make your own "one of a kind" custom tail. Also, as soft plastics is gaining big ground in the muskie world we'll have a few tips on how to make your own plastics. 

Our annual membership drive is taking place as well. Whether you are renewing or starting a new membership with Muskies Inc, now is the time! Draw a card from a select deck to see if you get $5 or $10 off your annual membership. There is a chance to get a free $35 membership too! 

Hope to see you all there!
