Owatonna-Rochester-Faribault-Mankato area fishing clubs - LETS?

[Guest]

Way to go guys!
You might want to consider holding the events anyways, even if you dont get too much interest from the get-go.

When we started the Statewide, at the first event there were only 2 boats. Scott Steil and I. But each event got more and more people there. Once people see what its all about, they are hooked!!

EVERY event you hold, make it FUN and let folks know. We're on our 4th year and we still do not have a full league...so don't despair. Even if you only have 5 boats at an event, it's still fun.

You do need to keep the rules the exact same as the other 2 leagues as well as the dues and individual tourney fees. If you run 6 events, that comes out to $50 per team per event.

Can't wait to see LETS #3 take off!!

OK Southern MN...
The LETS League is for fun and learning.
It's multi-species, so most everyone will have a fish they have skills on. If not join with someone who does.

Who would like to be in the 1st Southern LETS League?

You can see the LETS website at:
http://fishingsavvy.com
for more info.

[LuckyFish]

Thanks Rick, Dan, and Tom. Hey this league sounds like it's going to get off the ground yet! Camo-marc thanks for the committment. Your in!

Catch'n give me a call we should probably meet and go over things like dates, lakes etc.

just making a few changes to the poster, should be up in a few...

[Jim W]

I might be interested

[Flipnripem]

I`m always looking for another tourny to fish. My dad would more than likely be in as long the dates don`t conflict with our existing schedual. Sunday`s will work better for us. The sooner the lakes are picked the sooner we can commit to this. I`ll keep watching and good luck guy`s. Flip

[Guest]

I would get the lakes and dates picked ASAP.

Lucky and Dave,
You'll probably need to excecute executive privilage and decide between the two of you soon what these will be. Try to keep them on lakes that have good access and adequate parking as well as lakes that are good multi-species lakes. We also use 900 acres as a rule of thumb, although smaller lakes are ok too depending on the circumstances.

[Rippinlip]

Lucky,
Count me in, I do get extremely busy over the summer, but I had to give up my other fishing club and I want to get back to some friendly competetive fishing.
If I can be of some help let me know.
Dates and times the earlier the better.
Where are you going to centralize the tourney's from?
Are we going to cover the whole southern part of the state?
Winona to Ortonville, Lakeville to Albert Lea?
Do both partners in the boat have to be members of FM?

Happy hookin!!!!

[HARDWATER]

ok guys i'll think about it do you have them on sat-sun or what?? I live in northen cental minnesota i would be down just for the week end's..H.W

[Guest]

HARDWATER,
If you live in NC MN, you might want to join the Statewide LETS.
We'll be mainly in the Bemidji area this year with one in the Alex area. Might work better for you.

[Guest]

Lets try weekend right before full moons or new moons. Lets make it as easy and as fun as we can.
Oh yea count me in.
I'll see about getting some of my fishing partners intrested.

Good on ya all!
Thanks Lucky and Dave for getting this off the ground.Its a lot of fun and every one will have a blast.

For picking your lakes ,I suggest every one throw out thier favorites in the area and pick from them.Try to get Daves secret honey hole on the calendar and I will make that one!
Same with the dates.
If you have a team or two that can't make every event you can set up the league where you can throw out an event that does not count toward year end totals.
It wouldn't matter any way.I think every one will find out its more about the fun.
Congratualtions to the South Central LETS League!

[Rick]

There is no limit on lake size either. The Statewide just found it more useful to use 900 acre or bigger lakes.

We in the Southern part of the state know that would eliminate much or most of our best fishing waters.

Lucky and Catch-N, you should get together as soon as possible to pick lakes and dates. Tomorrow would not be too soon

Dan, can you get a sign-up started for the 1st Southern MN LETS league?

[Dan Wood]

I can create a sign-up sheet in pdf format. Lucky, can you send the name and address of where you want the checks to go when you get that figured out? Also, who you want the checks made out to. I will include that on the application. For Metro, we set-up an account and have the checks go to "Metro LETS".

[Guest]

Thanks Dan... and you other guys too!
LuckyFish,
I am set for a meeting wich-u on Wednesday 1:00 to 3pm. at Cabela's.

Well thanks to all for the response. Dave and I will meet on Wed and hash out everything and come up with the lake list and event dates. I'll post the the list both on this forum and the LETS and FM forum.

Dan thanks for getting the signup sheet going. That should help organize this a bit.
Things are happening fast and we're getting some great response!
We are going to have a great time this I know for a fact!

Good Luck & Good Fishing. Lucky

Well since this is where it all started I would like to bring this post back to the forefront. People we are going to need some more teams! There was alot of interest here to start off with and then nothing. If you have some ideas on how this league would better suit you. Please either post here or email me [email protected]. I'm here to answer your questions and take any suggestions you might have. I'd love to see this league get off the ground but if it's not for you or you thought it would be something else let me know.
Thanks Lucky
