January Meeting

The January meeting is this coming Thursday night at 7pm, located at Art Moehn on Seymour Rd in Jackson. We will be discussing the club constitution which should remain unchanged but the tournament rules will also be reviewed and several changes are sure to come. I've heard through the grapevine that the payout schedule will be revisited and possibly the plaque situation. Last year the trophy fund was a little inadequate and some tweaking may have to be done.

I am also concerned with a small loophole which was discovered last year and I think should be addressed. That is when the tournament director needs to change the start time of an event due to ramp or weather conditions, the end time cannot be adjusted. Right now we must fish an eight hour tournament per the rules so if the start time is changed to 9am then it must finish at 5pm. I think the director should have the right to change the end time even though it might mean fishing a seven or six hour tournament. I might be in the minority on this subject but that's why it is so important for everyone to show up Thursday. Hope to see everyone there.
