1 Working to Preserve, Promote and Advance Muskie and Pike Education and Research in Minnesota. April 1, 2015 Eighty Fourth Edition From John Underhill, MMPA Co-chair It feels like spring is finally here, with that comes the itch of open water and getting our boats out and fitted while awaiting the Muskie Expo. Please stop by to see us and consider a donation to our Political Education Fund so we can continue to support the legislators that care about our fish and water. The last of the Spearing bans are being lifted in the DNR game and fish bill a year after they were supposed to do this, which alone didn t make our size increase any easier. This has been a major point of contention between the Spearers and Muskie and Pike fisherman for decades. It s our hope that we will be able to make some headway with stocking and getting new waters. Now there are only irrelevant concerns that have been dispelled scientifically and observationally on the lakes that Muskies inhabit. There have been threats this year from Lake Associations that want to stop Muskie stocking and reduce the size limit to 36, so we need to consider our relationships with these type of groups and Always be a good Ambassador of the Fish. They deserve our best. We also have to consider other anglers and the property owners boats and docks. I ve been hearing this as a secondary argument recently by representatives of these groups. We need to respect each other at all times as we wish to be respected. Muskie guys get lumped in with everyone so we need to stand apart and continue to do the right thing. I hope to see you at the EXPO. John Underhill
2 From Aaron Meyer, MMPA Co-chair Year after year, it seems that the Legislature becomes a bigger and bigger part of fisheries management. Politics have always been a part of fish and wildlife management in Minnesota, but recently it has become the biggest part. At the same time, the MMPA has been getting more involved in Legislative actions, and we're learning a lot along the way. I don't believe any of us really enjoy this part of it, but the reality is that if we're not involved in the politics, we're simply not going to be very effective. I want to thank all of the chapters for their donations to the MMPA's lobbyist funding. We've truly found one of the best in the business, and we couldn't ask for a better ally. The MMPA formed to give all of Minnesota's Muskies Inc. chapters an effective and unified voice in fisheries management. With the current trend in Legislative actions dominating fisheries management, the MMPA has essentially become the "political arm" of Muskies Inc. in Minnesota. Without a lobbyist working for us down at the Capitol our effectiveness would be greatly diminished. And, without the donations from the chapters, we would not be able to continue funding our lobbyist. Thank you all! We can all be proud of our accomplishments, knowing we're doing our absolute best to preserve and advance muskie fishing in Minnesota. MMPA Co-Chair, Aaron Meyer 2015 HUGH C.

5 From Steve Wernersbach (MMPA PAC) MN Muskie and Pike Alliance Legislative Fund Events at the legislature every year have shown the need for a strong lobbying effort. This year has also identified several legislators willing to get involved and initiate actions that support the musky fishery. And the MMPA Political Action Committee Legislative Fund will be used to do exactly that at the end of this year s session. Thanks to all of you who have contributed to allow this to happen.
6 For those of you that haven t yet contributed, but would like to support this critical effort the form attached is your means to do so. This money can only be used to contribute to our selected legislator s re-election funds. The MMPA is not allowed to use any general funds for this purpose. If we are to successfully secure the legislative actions needed to promote and advance the musky fishery in Minnesota it is imperative we maintain strong connections with these collaborative legislators. These PAC fund contributions are our best method for doing this. The fund can accept a maximum contribution of $20 from any single individual per calendar year. Strong legislative support is more important now than ever. The legislature is extremely influential in determining where the DNR spends its fisheries dollars and in setting fishing regulations. Please consider making this all important contribution. Thanks.
