We want to thank everyone who made it out for
the May meeting at Gary’s tackle box and L&s
Trim. The May guest speaker was Alan Andrews
with Interstate Battery. We want to thank him
also for making it out and discussing the
advantages of the different batteries that
Interstate has. One of the main points of his
presentation was the need for better
maintenance with our marine batteries. Make
sure you are checking the water level prior to
every charge.
Also Optima Batteries is a new sponsor for the
BASS Nation. I have looked for a link with
information on the sponsorship but haven’t
found it yet. I contacted Tom Mahoney and am
waiting to hear back where to find the
guidelines. As far as I remember you must have
all Optima batteries on your boat and an Optima
sticker to qualify. I believe you must be the
highest finishing angler with those things to
qualify for the money. I also think the state
qualifiers and higher tournaments are the ones
that are being sponsored. Again as soon as I
hear from Tom I will send an email out with
better information.
Treasurer Darrel Pons Sr. gave a report on the
club finances and the club is doing great this
year and is on schedule to meet and exceed our
1000$ angler of the year money. It looks like we
will have funds to pay for everything and then
some. Due to last year’s finances the idea to
forgo the banquet and awards for 2012 was
brought up and unanimously agreed to.
Everything should be back to normal this year
and we look forward to a great banquet and
award ceremony.
A committee was formed to discuss different
options for the website. If you are interested on
helping or know someone that might be able to
help the committee, please contact Dennis.
We also want to remind members that we are
governed by the same by laws (unless
otherwise noted in our own by laws) as the
BASS Nation. Please only use your cell phones
during tournaments for emergencies and it is
considered cheating to call another competitor
to let them know what to do to catch more fish
during the tournament.
This month’s tournament is on Lake Rousseau
this coming Saturday 5/11/2013 due to Sunday
being mother’s day (HINT HINT). We will be back
to the normal schedule next month. If you were
unable to make the meeting and want to fish you
must contact Bob Heron to see what can be
done to fish. I have attached a link with
directions to the Kitty Lane boat ramp. If you
have any questions or concerns please contact
Steven Thames @ 352-222-6164. Thanks again
we hope to see you at the tournament or next meeting.
