Minutes of the Meeting:
 The Booray Pot has rolled over again with 20 members participating and all of us were hoping it would be ourselve to catch that elusive 5 pound Hawg to collect all that money. See Bill Myrick for details. If it does fall to a lucky angler it would be an oppurtunity to get in the pot if you haven't been participating. New Business:  The Cookouts are coming! Jeff passed around a sign-up sheet for the cookout. Thanks for all those who volunteered. (IMO the cookout turned out to be really good. Hard to top the hambugers and Brats Dave Dyess gets for us every year. Great job to the cooks who grilled them to perfection and the cleanup crew who made sure we left the place better than we found it.) Carlito brought in some items to raffle off with the proceeds going to the club. Thanks Carlito. (Guess we need to start bringing more money with us if we continue to get donations from the memebers. Wanted: Aucutioneer....must be able to get the most bang from items sold..... Bill Myrick is going to fish a tournament at Lake Martin and is accepting guidance on how and where to catch them....if you want to share your honey hole.....give him a call. Maybe you'll get to share his winnings. Jeff Weaver told us of the United Way Charity Tournament being held on April 5th at Blackwater River. It's a team format and if you are interested contact Jeff for details.
From the tournament Director: February tournament results were given out and the draw was done for partners for the March Tournament at Lake Seminole. We also raffled off a free cabin 2 night stay with the $140 collected going to the special fund. Kevin Simmons and his partner were the lucky winners. Special thanks to the Land's End Lodge for their gracious gift.
The
Meeting was adjourned at 7:56 pm.

 1st Place Don Jahnke Don's two day total of 8 fish weighing in at 23.21 pounds was a good 5 pounds heavier than 2nd place finisher. He also claims the Heaviest One Day Stringer Title this year with a 15.29 bag of beauties on Saturday. His kicker fish was big enough to win the Booray monies with a 5.91 whopper. Seems to me....Don won the Booray last year at Seminole too. Somehow we need to talk him into not going to Seminole next year although rumor has it Don has already turned in his Tournament Wish List for the 2015 season...with Seminole listed 12 times. Congrats Don!
Marion finished the tournament with a two day total of 7 fish weighing a whopping 18.7 pounds! On Saturday Marion caught his first limit of fish in the club weighing a respectible 11.99 pounds. Then on Sunday he brought in 2 fish averaging more than 3 pounds apiece. Marions kickers for the tournament were a 4.13 pound beauty on Saturday followed by a 3.67 pound stud on Sunday. This is Marion's fisrt time in the top 4 since joining the club and everyone gave him a round of applause while gladly handing over their tournament entry fees to him.
Great Job Marion!
Third place went to Dave Bock who brought 7 fish to the scales weighing 17.67 pounds. Dave's 5 fish limit on Saturday weighed 14.44 pounds which had him in 2nd place on day 1 but as usual the conditions changed on Sunday and he wasn't able to maintain it dropping him to 3rd place. Dave had two nice kickers Saturday topping 4 pounds apiece and rumor has it one of them came out of Mack's livewell or so you'd of thought.
Congrats Dave!
Congratulations Jere!

Tournament Results:
Our
annual Lake Seminole tournament turned out to be a good one this year
with 18 anglers catching 96 fish for the two day period. We had 7
limits caught the first day but things slowed down just a bit for the
second day. Those 96 fish gave us a 5 fish per person average out
of a possible 10 per person or a 50% rating. Total weight
for the tournament was 212.01 pounds of fish which comes out to a
2.2 lb average per fish. Unfortunately 4 of those fish
didn't survive the ordeal. But the rest...even Don's Big Fish of
5.91 lbs made it to be caught another day.
At the weigh in there was a couple complaints about the Orange Ball being put in the Golf Ball draw. But that didn't stop two of our lucky anglers, Terry Smith and Rick Howard from drawing it out. If you pull the Orange Ball you have to Pay another dollar to the pot. We all had a great laugh about it....which I believe was the purpose of added it to our game of chance. We did however have a truly lucky winner who pulled the Golden Yellow Ball which means you Win the pot. Marion Johnson was just that guy. Turned out to be a great weekend for Marion. Well done! Well things got moved around a bit on our AOY race. Jere's 4th place finish jumped him up from 3rd last month to 1st place. Points wise he's now tied with Mack but if you go to our rule book Jere has caught more fish thus the 1st place standing. Mack drops to 2nd while Jeff maintains his 3rd place spot. Bill still in 4th place closed the gap a little to just 10 points behind 3rd. Last month's 5th place Buddy Yates couldn't make the tournament so he drops down to 12th place. He was spending real good quality time with his wife turning Country. By no means is he out of the running as only 10 points separates 5th and 12 place. Dave Bock's 3rd place finish propells him up the leader board to take over the vacant 5th place spot. He jumped from 10th last month to 5th this month. Rounding out the top 6 is Ron Bridges who holds on to this place from last month. We had 8 anglers advance while 15 anglers declined. Most of the declines was because they missed out on the tournament. Remember you have to participate to get points added. Biggest movers up the leaderboard where Don Jahnke and Marion Johnson our 1st and 2nd place winners. Funny thing is they were in the same boat too. Don's boat saw 41.91 pounds brought to the scales for the weekend. I heard Don was culling on Saturday too so I'd say they were in the right spot. Did anyone get a GPS fix on them? Tournament
