Pro-MAC™ Minocqua Qualifier CANCELLED for September

Pro-MAC™ Lake Namakagon Autumn Muskie Classic™ Still Open

On September 15th and 16th the WORLD MUSKIE TOURNAMENT SERIES™ (WMT Series™) will be concluding the PROFESSIONAL MUSKIE ANGLER CIRCUIT™ (Pro-MAC™) regularly scheduled 2012 season of qualifying tournaments with the Lake Namakagon AUTUMN MUSKIE CLASSIC OPEN™. The Lake Namakagon AUTUMN MUSKIE CLASSIC OPEN™ is the sixth and final qualifying event for the 2012 Pro-MAC™ season that will determine the top fifty teams receiving invites for muskie fishing's most prestigious event at the WMT Series™ Championship™. Already the 2012 WMT Series™ has had enough early participation during the regular season to "crush" the previous record for the biggest Muskie Tournament Circuit Championship cash pay-out of $55,000.00 that was set in 2011 by the WMT Series™. As more and more teams enter in to the remaining qualifier for the 2012 regular season, the Championship's pay-out will continue to increase.

All of Lake Namakagon, and its connecting Spring Lake and Garden Lake, will be open for the competitors to fish on. This year marks the first time the WMT Series™ has hosted a tournament, qualifier or Championship, on Lake Namakagon and it is long overdue. Lake Namakagon reputation as a trophy muskie fishery is well documented and the temptation for the WMT Series™ has been far too great for too long. With our new procedures in place and working extremely well, it now allows us to host an event on Namakagon counting any muskies 34 inches or greater because of our WDNR approved "immediate release" format. Now that such a great muskie fishery is open for us to compete on, the WMT Series™ has already scheduled the 2013 Invitational Championship™ to be hosted on Lake Namakagon September 28 th and 29th, which is only a difference of thirteen days from this year's qualifier and next year's Championship, making the 2012 Namakagon qualifier a great opportunity for tournament anglers to learn a great deal, giving them a distinctive edge at the 2013 Invitational Championship The 2012 Pro-MAC™ Lake Namakagon AUTUMN MUSKIE CLASSIC OPEN™ tournament will have a purse of $31,000.00 when the field of competitors reaches one hundred and twenty five (125) teams. The cost to compete in a Pro-MAC™ event is $370 per two angler team for each event. The Lake Namakagon muskie qualifying tournament still has some open spots remaining.

If you are interested in fishing the Pro-MAC™ Lake Namakagon qualifier, you can register for the tournament on line, or at the pre-tournament Friday night registration, September 14 th at Lakewood's Resort on the south shores of Lake Namakagon at 21540 HWY M, Cable from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

Tournament hours will be from 6:30am to 3:30pm on Saturday and 6:30am to 12:30pm on Sunday.

The WMTS™ Loses Longtime Angler

On Friday, August 10th, longtime WMTS™ angler and close friend Steve Schneider of Phillips, lost his battle with lung cancer. Our deepest sympathy goes out to his brother Mike, girlfriend Linda, daughters Wendy & Jamie, sister Mary and his beloved grandchildren.

Steve and his brother Mike have been with the WMTS™ since the inaugural season of 2001. They have both been unfailingly loyal and have always participated in numerous tournaments each season. Steve was a dedicated fisherman who would tirelessly "pound the water", no matter how much fun he had the night before!

Steve will be fondly remembered for his great sense of humor, generous heart, loyalty to his family and friends and his lifelong love of fishing. He will be deeply missed by Tom & Beth and the rest of the WMTS™ anglers.

STEVE – you made a DIFFERENCE in the world!!

Pro-MAC™ Eagle River Chain Qualifier, A Prelude to History

On August 25th and 26th, the Eagle River Chain will host one of the most intriguing and important muskie qualifying tournaments ever to be hosted by a muskie tournament circuit. Anglers from far and wide will be converging on the Eagle River Chain to compete in the PROFESSIONAL MUSKIE ANGLER CIRCUIT™ (Pro-MAC™) MUSKIE MASTER OPEN™ in an effort to not only win the two day major event, but also to qualify and pre-fish for muskie fishing's most prestigious event at the WORLD MUSKIE TOURNAMENT SERIES™ (WMT Series™) Invitational Championship™ that will also be held on the Eagle River Chain on October 6 th and 7th. The historic 2012 WMT Series™ Invitational Championship™ on the Eagle River Chain first place prize could net a team a record smashing $100,000.00 and $160,000.00 cash purse if minimum participation is met. Already the 2012 WMT Series™ has had enough early participation during the regular season to "crush" the previous record for the biggest Muskie Tournament Circuit Championship cash pay-out of $55,000.00 that was set in 2011 by the WMT Series™. As more and more teams enter in to the remaining qualifiers for the 2012 season regular, the Championship's pay-out will continue to increase.

In the twelve years that the WMT Series™ has hosted muskie tournaments on the Eagle River Chain of Lakes, the chain has always been a pivotal body of water for our competitors, making or breaking teams' chances who aspire to make the season ending finals. Over the years, the Eagle River Chain has afforded the WMT Series™ tournament anglers the ability to come from obscurity, using the chain as a launch pad to salvage their season or to a successful tournament fishing career. With this year's Invitational Championship also being hosted on the chain, makes this season's Eagle River qualifier a monumental event of epic proportions and potentially critical in attaining the "Holy Grail" of muskie tournament fishing by winning the WMT Series™ Invitational Championship™. As always, the August Pro-MAC™ Eagle River Chain will not disappoint by producing a ton of action and a high rate of angler success that will put smiles on most of the competitor's faces as they pile on points to qualify for the Invitational Championship. The chain will be open from Cranberry Lake to Waters Meet Lake with two ease out locations at Wild Eagle Lodge on Duck Lake and the Chanticleer Inn on the channel between Eagle and Voyageur Lakes. The Pro-MAC™ Eagle River Chain MUSKIE MASTERS OPEN™ tournament will have a purse of $31,000.00 when the field of competitors reaches one hundred and twenty five (125) teams. The cost to compete in a Pro-MAC™ event is $370 per two angler team for each event. The Eagle River Chain muskie qualifying tournament still has some open spots remaining.

Tournament hours will be from 6:00am to 3:00pm on Saturday and 6:00am to noon on Sunday. The awards for the Eagle River Chain event will be held at the Wild Eagle Lodge on Sunday at 2:00pm at the conclusion of the qualifying tourney.

The Three Lakes MUSKIE SUMMIT OPEN™ is expected to duplicate or exceed the previous tournament success that might make the Three Lakes August qualifier the most important event of the regular 2012 Pro-MAC™ season for teams looking to secure their place at the Eagle River Championship. The Pro-MAC™ Three Lakes Chain MUSKIE SUMMIT OPEN™ tournament will have a purse of $31,000.00 when the field of competitors reaches one hundred and twenty five (125) teams.
