Minnesota Waterfowl Assoc. Business Needed


Recommended Posts

  • 'we have more fun' FishingMN Creators

The Minnesota Waterfowl Association has a mission of protecting, restoring and enhancing habitat. Project efforts benefit migratory waterfowl and other wetland wildlife. The MWA is non-profit organization that survives through fundraising.

The Dakota Great Swamp Chapter of the Minnesota Waterfowl Association is currently planning it's annual fundraising banquet, to be held February 26th, 2004. This is the single primary fundraising event for the entire year. It consists of a dinner, live and silent auctions, raffles, and a gun raffle; these exciting elements are the draw to attend the event, and tickets to the event provide the fundraising revenue for the organization.

As in years past, we are soliciting contibutions for this event from businesses who are concerned about preserving our natural resources. Anything you could offer in the form of a raffle prize/door prize, silent or live auction item would be sincerely appreciated, and your business would be recognized as a contributor at our banquet. In addition, this is a great way to showcase any new products you may have. Of course we accept cash donations as well smile.gif

This year's banquet has some very exciting elements to it, with some pretty famous personalities volunteering to attend. But we sincerely need the help of any businesses out there that are willing.

If you think you can help out in any way or have any questions, please contact [email protected] (kpj5br on FM)

Thanks

Rick, thanks for posting this.

For all duck and goose hunters out there, the MWA really fights for you on a number of levels (legislative, wetland restoration, public hunting opportunities, etc.) and could really use your support.

Thanks

Trashdux,

that post simply was not called for.

You need links authorized before posting and you certainly are not allowed to bash.

TrashDux, please open your own thread if you would like to solicit for another organization.

The fundraising banquet will be held in Lakeville, MN, at the Chart House Restaraunt and Banquet Center.

Please email me with other questions or specifics, your donation is tax deductible, and MWA provides a receipt for your tax purposes for the retail value of your donations.

My email is [email protected]

Hi all, it's been a while since I updated this post, but this banquet is coming up next month.

I wanted to invite you all to attend, many great sponsors game through, and we will have a ton of raffle and auction items, including guns, waterfowl prints signed ONSITE by artist David Maass who will be receiving the MWA Lifetime Achievement Award that night.

My email is up above in the posts, but I'll put it here again just in case.

The regular advertisement for this goes out next week, and we expect a sell-out quickly, so this is an opportunity for the fishingmn community to get first dibs.

Thanks, and hope to see you there supporting minnesota's waterfowl and hunting habitat!

Jon

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
