MCMI’s Pewaukee Classic is back again for it’s 34th year and is slated for Saturday May 12. This is a fund raising tournament. Much of the money raised is used to benefit our Muskie rearing and stocking effort for Okauchee and Pewaukee Lakes. The monies raised are also used for monthly programs, summer youth outings, our veterans memorial outing, the publication of our news letter and much more.

Due to a number of circumstances, we are canceling the Panfish Tournament that was scheduled for 4/28 this year. We may revisit this idea sometime in the future, but this years event had to be canceled.
Milwaukee Chapter of Muskies INC is pleased to announce their first annual MCMI Panfish Tournament. Think of this an Ice Fisheree with out the ice!! The goal is a fun day on the water with family and friends with a friendly competition to see who can catch the longest fish of each species and heaviest bag limit. This tournament will also help curb the panfish overpopulation that is occurring on Pewaukee. It also coincides with Smokey’s Mistake on the Lake, so grab your new lures for musky season before/after fishing the tournament. It’s the perfect time to made sure your boat is running and mark up those new weed lines on you GPS!!
This fundraiser generated a lot of interest last year, and we’ve decided to run it again this year. All proceeds go towards stocking our local lakes.
Tickets will once again be $5 each or 3 for $10. Tickets will be available at the expos, bait swap, meetings, and at the drawing.
Drawing date will be Saturday, April 28th at Curly’s Waterfront (following the Panfish Tournament). Need not be present to win.

When the discussion of top musky anglers comes into discussion Steve’s name invariably enters into the mix and the terms “legendary” and “innovator” are often brought up. He was recently mentioned in a vote by a panel of his peers as one of the top ten musky anglers of all time. With over 28 years of experience guiding and instructing from northern WI’s Vilas County–starting 28 years ago–to the Canadian Shield waters of the famed Eagle Lake for the past 22 years, Steve brings a wealth of new knowledge, patterns, and presentations.”This seminar won’t be an advertisement or entertainment but the real meat-and-potatoes overview of overlooked and sometimes contrary-to-many-popular-belief patterns and thoughts. It will also give a preview of some new and exciting big fish patterns that have been developing more recently and emerging by the ever changing environment and ecosystem–especially on the Canadian Shield water of NW Ontario.” 1994 to date Steve and his clients have boated 43 muskies 40# – 50#+ on Eagle Lake ON and in the prior 6 years guiding in WI’s Vilas Co. 2 times guided clients to the largest musky boated in the state for the yr. with a 55 1/2″ 43# 6 oz. in 1987 and 53″ 47# 10 oz. in 1992. Steve brings to the stage knowledge and passion that is unique and contagious. So come out and see Steve Herbeck present “Techniques to Landing Big Muskies”. This is one you won’t want to miss!!
