Minutes of
the Meeting: Thanks
were giving for the Volunteers who cooked and cleaned up last month at Lake
Seminole. Even though it rained it was a great success. Volunteers
were selected for the Cookout of Fried Chicken and the entire Fix’ ins
for Lake Jordan. Cell
Phones lists were handed out.....good idea to keep in the boat with you in
case you have trouble on the water. (or need to verify weigh-in time) Between
last month and this month….seems quite a few things have been happening to
our club members or their families.
The club sent flowers from the special fund to Ken who was in the
hospital with a broken leg. Well
wishes go out to Buddy Yates and his family while we hope his son is on a
speedy recovery from his injuries.
Tony’s Boyett’s family is having a crisis of their own along with Don
Jahnke and his family. Keep these
club members and their families in your thoughts and prayers.
Kudo’s to our President
Jeff who secured rooms for us in Prattville at the Baymont Inn. Due to the unavailability of rooms over in
Wetumpka the ramp for Lake Jordan was changed to Bonner’s Landing. Last reminder-Don’t forget…If you are a boater and wish to stay
overnight for the Miller’s Ferry Tournament in May, YOU need to make your own
reservation for the motel room. April
Tournament: Saturday’s
weighing saw all 15 club members catching fish with Ron Bridges taking Big
Fish honors with a 2.84 lunker. 108
fish from 15 anglers found them self being weighed in at the scales for a
total of 106.65 pounds. 2 didn’t
survive the boat ride in raising our total for the year to 3 dead fish. As for limits we had 9 limits, 4 members
one short of a limit, 1 member with 3 fish and 1 with 2 fish. Not only did everyone have a golf ball fish…but
we all made it out of the one fish category. Saturday Top Six Results: 2nd – Thom Labelle – 5 fish 8.55 lbs 3rd – Mack Cramer – 5 fish 8.32 lbs 4th – Jere Jailitte – 5 fish 8.3 lbs 5th – Ron Bridges – 5 fish 7.81 lbs 6th
– Lee Brannon – 5 fish 7.76 lbs Sunday
morning we all got to the lake earlier and found the launch ramp all to
ourselves. Temps were a little warmer
in the low 50’s to start. Come weigh-in
time…..that would be 1:00pm for a Sunday on a two day tournament according to
the Tournament Rule 3a….we were missing two
boats. We would of
conducted weigh-in…but one of the missing boats was Bill Myrick our
Tournament Director and he had all the scales locked up in his truck. I feel a slammer nomination coming……In fact
I’ll go ahead and Nominate Bill Myrick right now for the Slammer Award for
being late to his own weigh-in. As I
was running south to get to the weigh-in in time I saw him running north. He even waved at us…..I thought he was
going to help someone out….turns out he was thinking the weigh-in was at
2pm. 2pm weigh-in’s are reserved for the hot months on our one
day tournament’s IAW tournament rule 3a. |
