Presidents Report

Ken let it be known that we still have members that does not have there BASS membership up to date.

He will also be going down the tournament results list to see if there is enough interest to send a 6 man team to the state club team event.

Old Business

Dan talked about some weight in procedures, and asked where to get perforated weight in bags? If anyone has any ideas please contact him. He will also have some procedures at the next meeting to get some input on what will work the best and be better for the fish (that is our ultimate concern)

PT Ryan has a 24v Tour pro Motor guide foot control trolling motor for sale $100.00 If anyone is interested contact him at (315)-789-5693 or (315)-521-0195 cell.

Ken V. mentioned in the past that we should have an event to include our wives. Bill T. mentioned it again (because his wife is bugging him to have a husband wife tournament). So if you guys are interested in some thing like that talk to your wives, girlfriends or kids to see how much interest there is. If there is any boater who needs a partner they can contact one of the clubs non-boaters to fish. Plus we can have a picnic after the tournament. Please contact Bill T. if there is any interest.

New business

It was brought up that we should change the non-boaters minimum donation for gas from $20.00 to $30.00 plus launch fees. Motion by Tom, 2 nd by Bob motion passed.

Plus you boater that don’t draw a partner it is encouraged that you fish with another boater to conserve on gas.

Pros pointer

Tom S. said that there is a five pound bass in Honeoye. PT caught one skipping a senko under a dock. Can you believe it!

The water is warming up the BASS are chasing spinner bait, jerk baits, small crank baits, so clear the junk off those boats and get them out of the garage and get out there.

50/50

(Boy we can hardly wait for the next pros pointer)

See you on the water!
