Minutes of the Meeting:

The August meeting of the Pensacola Hawg Hunters
was brought to order at 7:00 P.M on Wednesday the 15th of August at Founaris Bros. Greek Restaurant by Jeff Weaver. We had 21 members present.  

Old Business

The meeting started out with a little humor by Jeff.  Always a good laugh.
 
The minutes of last months meeting were still missing so they were waived by the membership anyway.

The treasury report was read and accepted.  Dave has been doing a great job keeping track of our finances.   Now is only we can get the Big Fish money to the Tournament so the guy who catches the big fish of the day can pay for the meal on the way home from the lake.

The Booray pot has increased to $240 since no one has caught a 5.5 pound fish in the past couple of months.  Could be the shitty places we fish in the summer months.

This month's 50/50 was won by someone in the club.   If you know who it was, send the President an email to see if you win the "Pays Attention Prize".

The Change proposals entry deadline ended with the close of the meeting.   Two proposals were submitted to be discussed at the next meeting in September.  No need to come early as in the past years and these proposals have been constantly brought up all year.  In other words next month's meeting will start at 7:00pm as usual.

Here's the link to the web page where the proposals are published.
2019 Season Change Proposals

New Business:

It's the political season!  Nominations are being accepted for club officer positions for the 2019 fishing season.  If you want to step up and get involved be sure to get your name thrown in the hat for one of our E-board positions.  All positions, President, Vice President/Treasurer, Tournament Director, Asst Tournament Director and the Secretary are available.
One way to definitely take your boat and get a partner regardless of how the vote goes in October is to become the Tournament Director.



All Alabama fishing licenses expire at the end of this month.
Our next tournament is at Fish River and if you plan to fish be sure to update your Alabama fishing license.  They go on sale August 27th and can be purchased following this link.

Awards Banquet

The end of the year is coming fast and it's time to start thinking about the Year-end Banquet.  Seems everyone has had a good time at Sonny's Barbecue and unless someone has a better idea we will try to reserve it for a Friday night in December.

From the Tournament Director:

Payouts for the July tournament were handed out.

 Congrats to all those who received a paycheck.
Great job!

Dave Dyess wanted to step down and give Bill Armstrong some valuable training on the Tournament Director position so Bill will finish the year as the head honcho.

The draw for the July Tournament was conducted.

Drawn out were 10 boaters with 6 Co-Anglers for the August  Tournament to be held at Hubbard's Landing on the Tensaw River.

Hot dog cookout to follow the weigh-in.

Meeting was adjourned 7:35 pm

August Tournament:

The August Tournament was held on the Tensaw River out of Hubbard's landing.  We had 17 members fishing out of 10 boats and the day started out in the mid 80's with rain for the first couple of hours.  Not down pouring but enough still to make it uncomfortable to fish.  On the bright side it wasn't as hot because of it.  The fishing wasn't that great either as we only managed to catch 28 fish by 13 experts.  Only one brought a limit to the scales while his partner skunked.   Maybe they already started the team concept.  Big fish was a 3.81 caught by the hot dog cooker himself Don Jahnke.  Great job Don on a great cookout.  Thanks for the hospitality of your home away from home.  



Total fish weight was 43.88 pounds just a little over the amount of hot dogs cooked.  We also added 3 more dead fish to our yearly total of 21.  2 of them came from a brand new boat....better check your live wells.
