Minutes of the Meeting:

The August meeting of the Pensacola Hawg Hunters was brought to order at
7:00 P.M. August 21, 2013
at Founaris Brothers Restaurant.
President Jeff Weaver presided over the meeting. There were 20 members’ present.


Old Business:

The reading of the Minutes from last month was waived. The Treasurer's report was given and accepted. The Booray Pot rolled over once again last month with 23 members participating. See Bill Myrick for specific details. Buddy Yates reported that his son is continuing to improve since his accident 6 months ago. Ken Repine is also improving and getting around more maybe we’ll see him at the next meeting. Let’s keep them in our thoughts and prayers as the days go by. We are also happy to see Dan Nash up and walking about. He had some serious medical trouble since the last meeting and it's good to see him still with us. Dan we understand why you took this tournament off and look forward to fishing with you again on the next tournament.

Our host at Founaris Brothers says we are doing better so continue to enjoy their fine food while we conduct our club business.

Dave Bock reported that it cost us a little bit more to host the web site than we had voted for but we got a better deal in the long run by locking in a lower hosting rate for the next 10 years.
The name of the site is
www.PensacolaHawgHunters.com
and will officially be up and running for the start of the 2014 season November.

A motion was called and passed to pay the extra money from club money. Dave is currently is progress of moving all the stats from the Hook1.com web site to be uploaded to our new site. If there is anything you want to see on the new site…contact Dave B.

New Business:

50/50 Drawing was held…Half to Bryan McCarthy and the other half to the Special Fund.

The end of the year banquet questionnaire told us the majority of the club wanted to go back to Cock of the Walk so that’s where the banquet will be on Friday 6th December 2013. Make plans to attend and remember your spouses are invited too!

Jeff Weaver gave a presentation on backup live well pumps. You never know when you are going to have problems on the water and you don’t want to wind up with dead fish. We are doing real good this year with only 5 fish out of 526 caught to date that didn’t survive their ordeal.

E-board position nominations are being accepted for consideration. If you want to get more involved and make a commitment to the rest of us….
just submit your nomination.

A nomination for Lifetime Membership was received by the E-board and read to the club to be voted on by secret ballot at the next club meeting. Click the following link to read the nomination.

Proposed Rule Changes:


Safety Corner:


We just finished our last hot summer month tournament but remember to watch the weather anytime you are out on the water. Also it would be a good idea to check you trailer tires before our next out of town tournament. Just because the boat is new to you….doesn’t necessarily mean everything is in good working condition. A pound of prevention is better than an ounce of cure.
I wonder what boat Mack will bring next….Seems he’s been changing boats as much as we change rods during a tournament.

Also a good idea to remember where the no-wake zones are so you don’t find yourself in trouble with the law. As a boater you are responsible for the damage your wake may cause.

August Tournament:

The August Tournament was held on Tensaw River out of Hubbard’s Landing. We had 20 members fishing out of 10 boats for the one day tournament.

The weatherman was good to us as he held off the rain until way after weigh-in.
On to the Top Four of the Tournament!


1st Place
Jeff Weaver
Jeff has been absent from the winners circle this year after winning AOY last year but he showed us he still knows how to win one with style. His 5 fish limit topped over 9.32 pounds a full pound ahead of the rest of the pack. Rumor had it he was culling by 8:00am. This is Jeff’s 5th time in the money this season. He is currently in 2nd place for the AOY standings and continues to close the gap on Jere with a total of 170.5 points. A whopping 27 points ahead of 3rd place.

Great Job Jeff!


2nd Place
Dave Dyess
Second place went to Dave Dyess with a nice 5 fish limit of 8.00 pounds even. Jumping him up 5 places in the AOY standings. Way to go Dave. Something to note is that Dave fished out of the back of Jeff Weaver’s boat so once again whoever gets to fish with Jeff ended up in the money. Dave said he was culling by 9:00am too. Sounds like them two guys had a fantastic day.

Great Job Dave!

3rd Place
Dave Bock
Dave also brought in a limit of nice fish totaling 7.29 pounds. I’ll tell you now what I caught them on because you probably won’t let me tell my story on meeting night. I caught one on a fluke…Buddy Yates style and the rest on a 3/32 oz. Shaky head rigged with a 6” June-bug shaky head worm. I filled out my limit on the last cast….so never give up! This is Dave’s third time in the money this season.

Great Job Dave!


4th Place
Jere Jaillite
Rounding out the top 4 was Jere with a limit of fish weighing in at 6.91 pounds. Mr. Consistent! Jere once again has finished higher than 6th place maintaining his lead in the AOY race. Only one person has the ability to catch him with the rest of the club being 40 or more points behind him. It’s possible he could sew it up on the next tournament. Can he do it? Come to the next tournament to find out first hand!

Great Job Jere!

Notes:
From The Tournament Director

The July tournament results were given. Great job to the top 4 last month.

Don has chosen not to reenlist as thetournament director next year so if you are interested get your nomination in.

The Caravan was scheduled to leave the old Food World parking lot on Pine Forest Road at 4:00am Saturday morning.

The Meeting was adjourned at 7:47 p.m.

Tournament Results:

We had a total of 20 members fishing the one day tournament with 17 out of the 20 catching fish. As a Club we caught 56 fish for a better than last month 2.8 fish per person average. There were 5 limits caught by the top 5 fishermen. Jim Bailey was 5th with his limit weighing 6.8 pounds. Total weight for the tournament was 78.27 pounds for a 1.39 pound per fish average.

On the yearly standings we had 7 people advance their position while 9 declined. Biggest movers up were Dave and Dave both advancing 5 places. 5 fish for 5 places…..Remember you have to fish to advance in the standings. With the season winding down and only one tournament to go before our annual fish-off tournament at Apalachicola our top 3 are still catching fish. Jere, Jeff and Lee have caught fish in each of the 10 tournaments fished….Good job guys. Honorable mention goes to John-8/8, Frank 7/7, Dan 5/5 and Kevin 4/4 for also being consistent in the tournaments they’ve attended. Big fish for the August tournament went to John Buck with a 2.51 summertime beauty.

The September tournament is a two day tournament with the first day being on Lake Mitchell and the second day fishing Lay Lake. Saturday night we have a fish fry planned so make plans to attend.
