Minutes of
the Meeting:
The
July meeting of the Pensacola Hawg Hunters was brought to order at
7:00 P.M. July 17, 2013
at Founaris Brothers Restaurant.
President Jeff Weaver presided over the meeting. There were 24 members’
present and one guest, Bryan’s daughter Faith from Nashville.
Old Business:
The
reading of the Minutes from last month was waived. The Treasurer's report was given and
accepted. The Booray Pot rolled over once again last month with 23 members
participating. See Bill Myrick for specific details. Buddy Yates reported
that his son is continuing to improve since his accident 5 months ago. Ken Repine is also improving and getting
around more maybe we’ll see him at the next meeting. Let’s keep them in our thoughts and prayers
as the days go by.
A
reminder from our host Fournaris Brothers to go
ahead and enjoy their fine food while we conduct our club business.
A
motion was called to the floor to “maintain the Pensacola Hawg Hunters web
page for 5 years using money from the general fund to pay for it.” Paying 5 years up front would bring the
cost down to just $36 a year over the 5 year period. The next step is to
figure out what you want to see on the website (besides your smiling face
holding up a 6 pounder). Talk to Dave
Bock…seems Jim Bailey has been grooming him for the last year of so. Thanks Jim…J
New Business:
50/50
Drawing was held…Half to Dave Bock (Hooyah!) and the other half to the
Special Fund.
The
end of the year banquet is fast approaching us so questionnaires were handed
out as to when in December and where we want to have it. Be sure to voice your ideas and opinion to
make this another successful dinner.
***Proposals
for the constitution and rules are due in writing by the next meeting in
August***
Do you want to increase you commitment to
the club…then run for one of the E-board positions. Nominations are now being accepted. So far Don has made it known that he will
vacate the Tournament Director position he has held for the last two years. The
Secretary position is always open to anyone willing……
Safety Corner:
We are in the Hot months….so keeping thinking about Heat Stress and Heat
Stroke. Drink Plenty of water to stay hydrated all day long…not just when you
feel thirsty. Keep an eye on your partner too and remember…the quickest way
to cool them down…is to jump in the water.
Don’t forget about Thunder and Lighting either. This last tournament was pretty exciting
with the storm that rolled through just before Blast off.
Notes:
From The Tournament Director
The June tournament results were given. Great job to the top 4 last month.
Don threw out to the club ideas on how to keep from fishing with
the same person two tournaments in a row.
His idea was to draw the non-boater first and then let them pick their
boater. If you have ideas on how to
mix it up…..submit them so we can vote on them.
The Caravan was scheduled to leave Food World on Pine Forest Road at 4:30am
Saturday morning.
The Meeting adjourned at 7:47 p.m.

July
Tournament:
The July Tournament was held on Perdido River out of Seminole Landing.
We had 21 members fishing out of 11 boats for the one day tournament. As soon as we got all the boats in the
water it started to pour down rain.
We even had Thunder and Lighting roll through before the start. The water level was about 2 foot higher
than normal even with the incoming tide. The farther south you went the cleaner the
water was.
On to the Top Four of the Tournament!
1st Place
Jere Jaillite
Jere showed us why he is leading the pack for Angler of the
Year. He was the only one with a limit
of fish in which he easily took first place honors weighing 7.04 pounds. A whole 2.25 pounds ahead of 2nd
place. This puts Jere 16.5 points
ahead of the nearest competitor. Of note,
this is Jere’s first win this season but he’s been consistently
finishing in the top 6 during every tournament. Jere
has earned himself a vacation we hope he’ll take during the next tournament.
Great Job Jere!
2nd Place
Thom Labelle
Second place went to Thom who didn’t let fishing by himself stop
him from catching 3 fish weighing 4.75 pounds. This jumps Thom up 4 places in the year end
standings to 9th place overall.
Great Job Thom!
3rd Place
Bill Myrick
Bill caught 3 fish for a total weight of 4.34. He also took Big Fish Honors with a 2.45
pound kicker. This is Bill’s 2nd
time in the money this season. Bill
remains in 7th for the year end standings. Bill’s partner was Jeff Weaver and Jeff at
the meeting predicted his partner would be in the money. Guess you were right Jeff, but what happened
to you?
Great Job Bill!
4th Place
Lee Brannon
Rounding out the top 4 was Lee with 4 fish tipping the scales at
4.28 almost 2.5 lbs. ahead of the 5th place finisher. Lee jumps from 5th to 3rd
place in the year end standings. This is
Lee’s first time in the money this year but he has yet to be skunked in our
tournaments. Consistence pays off.
Great Job Lee!

Tournament
Results:
We had a total of 21 members and no guests fishing the one day tournament
with 10 out of the 21 catching fish. We
caught 21 fish for a pitiful 1fish per person average. Total weight was 28.2 pounds for a 1.34
pound per fish average.
On the yearly standings we had 9 people advance their position
while 10 declined. Biggest mover up was
Thom Labelle advancing 4 places. Remember
you have to fish to advance in the standings. So far this season our top 3 fishermen,
Jere, Jeff and Lee have made every tournament and caught fish in each. Just 3 more tournaments to go. Make your plans now for the August
tournament. Currently we have 17 members eligible for the Fish Off and Voting
Rights. You need at least 6 tournaments to participate…make your plans
now…the season is running out.
