Message from the President:



Well guys, another month (tournament) has come and gone. Its one tournament I wont forget for awhile, for more than one reason. My thanks and appreciation to all you hawgs for looking after me saturday, especially Kevin Holland. What a great bunch of guys we have in our club. I personally feel privileged and honored to be a member. On the lighter side: "Wallys Special Fund" netted $158.00 at the last meeting. With the $589.00 that was returned by last years Top Six, we have a total of $747.00 in the fund. I think last years Top Six deserve a round of applause and one hell of a big ATTABOY's. So far the fund has commited up to $200.00 for a club picnic and up to $200.00 for door prizes, etc. for the annual banquet. We are also commited to provide the entry fee and gas expenses to this Top Six if there is a Tournament of Champions next year. In closing, I recommend you start thinking of who you want to run for office for the coming year. Keep those lines tight and drink lots of water for the next few tournaments.
See you on the water,

Wally

The water level was normal and stained to muddy. A large percentage of members went up on Friday to practice for the weekend event. Just about everyone found fish and had already put there stories together for the Friday night. There was a strong rumor that the "Boo-Ray" pot was going to be won on Saturday. The weather forecast for Saturdays adventures was partly cloudy skies with scattered thunderstorms. The high temperature for the day reached the low 90's. At weigh-in their were 51 fish weighed in for a total of 77.45 lbs.
