OLD BUSINESS:


The 50/50 draw was won by Donnie Wigen this month. Mack Cramer held his annual Super Bowl party, as usual, it was a lot of fun, great food and a lot of laughs, thanks Mack. For those who could not attend, maybe next time.
The club would like to thank Wayne Thomley and Fred Raby for their time and effort on getting several tackle companies to donate their products to the club, it not only helps the club but it also helps to get the word out about different products.
G- Loomis has said they will be willing to help us out again in the future. We all enjoyed the recent seminar we had in January, there is a possibility that more seminars will be scheduled in the future, the people from Lowrance electronics could be a possibility.

NEW BUSINESS:


The club would like to recognize our newest members,
Doug Webb and Ken Repine,
Sponsored by John Lightsey and Mack Cramer.

*****Hammer Nominees*****
Frank Kelly, Ken Repine and Billy Blackwell, Frank Bost, Chris Malena and Cliff Armstrong, this is year to date.

The club would like to say thanks to all those who made a donation to the American Lung Society in " Memory of Don Potter ",
Don will be missed by all of us.

February Tournament:

This month's tournament was on the Ten Saw once again, and as usual the weather man scheduled the cold front at the wrong time, one day his 50-50 guess may be right. There was no limits caught for the tournament, texas rig plastics and crank baits seemed to work the best.
Chris Malena finished 3rd with 5 fish for 8.76, Frank Bost finished 2nd by the slightest margin with 5 fish for 9.17, and Mack Cramer, first time out in his new Ranger, took 1st with 5 fish for 9.18. Good Job guys.
