December 9, 2009 Meeting Minutes


 

The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm and adjourned at 7:45 pm.  No one claimed the Big Fish pot.   There were no special guests.

Program Activity:  Doug Jorgensen talked about a new product the Boat Wizard. It is attached to your drain plug hole and blows air into your boat, which in turn keeps the interior of your boat dry during the wet months.   The particulars are at http://bilgewizard.com/ .

Tips, Tactics and Techniques:   Ryan Gates and Mike Buse were absent and are now scheduled for February. Jaymee Strasbaugh talked about practicing your flipping and pitching techniques during the off season from your living room or garage. He also went over some of his favorite baits and structure to fish.

Raffle: There was no Raffle.

Treasurer’s Report: The treasury shows a balance of $4172.55 with the Mary Bridge and Trophies are still outstanding.

Minutes: The November minutes as posted on the Internet were approved.

Conservation Report:  Chris talked about the State funding fish habitat and would like some opinions or interests on a lake that could use something like this.  Chris is open for suggestions.  There is a lot of work that goes into something like this so we would have to be serious about it.  Bob talked about ramp clean-up and was presented with some line containers that can be placed at the selected lakes like American, Black, Clear and Spanaway.  I believe this is still being discussed with Fish and wildlife.

Federation Report: Nothing to report
