Old Business:   The 50/50 draw went to Charles Loyed this month.

Wayne brought in several items for the auction, hats , line, and some floating pliers to name a few, Wayne also stated his supply has depleted and if anyone has things at home they would like to auction off to bring them to the future meetings.

The G-Loomis problem has been solved.

The club is looking at possibly having the Club Banquet in November or December this year, John and Wayne are checking on a couple of places, the Angus and the Cock of the Walk. If anyone has any other suggestions, make some calls and let the club know at the next meeting.

 

 

September is the month for submitting proposed rule changes, they must be in writing when submitted. Also, if anyone would like to hold a position on the E-Board, let it be heard at the September meeting.

 

“The skunk”

The way to receive it; the highest member in the points standings who zero’s a tournament will be rewarded the skunk, it must be displayed on your boat during the tournament in visible sight, on your dash, tied to a pole seat, etc. If everyone catches fish, then the person already in possession of the skunk keeps it, good luck to all.

 

 

 

 

New Business:  The Boo-Ray has started over again, remember, if you cant make the meeting, have someone pay your fee for you in order to keep you in the pot.

The club is looking at ways to raise money for the club, if anyone has any ideas, bring it up at the next meeting.

July Tournament:

 

 

July Tournament: This month was the mighty Escambia, hot and humid it was, the river was on the rise and stained, with an outgoing tide, most of us thought it would be a good day of fishing, we were wrong. You can never tell about those Escambia river fish.

Congrat’s to those who did catch some fish.

Walter took first place with 3 fish weighing 6.28 lbs, he also had big fish for the tournament, @ 2.71 lbs.

Good job Walter.

Second place went to Fred Raby, he

Had 4 fish that weighed 5.95 lbs .

                     Wayne Thomley finished third with 3 fish weighing 3.55 lbs.

No limits were caught, and 13 of 23 fishing came in empty handed.

What a day.
