I was planning on sending my renewal check for 47 dollars and odd cents for the family. Sure makes you think. The Pa. people we know have experienced the same thing. 30 to 50 dollars from each member going to Michigan each year sure would add up. And take pressure off some major players at the banquet.

I guess my only two concerns with going indy would be 1. What kind of pull does the Muskies Inc, affiliation have in attracting new members? Does/did being the M.I. chapter affect anyone into joining?
2. Would this set a precident on which members down the road will be jumping ship or setting up seperate groups because the MMA isn't doing what they think is the best thing for their money.
We may then have the S?LMC Stock ???????? Lake Musky Club, and so on?
Other than that I'm all for it. I think its foolish to help fund every other states program and expense out speakers and projects that will never affect 90 percent of us. We have to lookout for our fishery 'cause no one else will.
