Meeting Minutes - Tuesday – 20 May 08
- Monthly meeting opened with a welcome to the 3 guests and 25 members present.
- A hit list was passed out urging member present to get waivers and dues current. Current ACA list passed to treasurer for updating website. Everyone participating in the tournament must be a PACK member.
- Ken gave us a quick report on our trip to Mustang Island – great time had by all but not many fish caught; Bruce gave us a report on the numerous fish reluctant to bite at Turtle Bay; and then Adrian talked too much about he and Brad going out beyond the breakers for the first time. See fishing report forum for the rest of the boring details.
- Tournament Update – 58 sponsors – over 100 items donated; trophies being taken care of; BBQ coordinated; drinks corodinated, photo plan in draft format, donations being cataloged and sponsor data base updated, site coordinated and reserved. Everything but fish and weather is being taken care of.
- Raffle Tickets were passed out and signed for. The raffle tickets for the Kayak and for the guided fishing trip are $10 and the winner need not be present to win. The PACK member selling the ticket needs to bring that ticket with all the contact information filled out to the tournament or get them to PACK treasurer prior to tournament. Payment can be made before tickets are turned in or when the tickets are turned in. The winner will not have a ticket stub. These tickets are not 2-pieces and are not to be torn in half.
- Guest Speaker – Jason Bryant from inshorefan.com – Jason could have spoke on a variety of topics but centered the discussion around pattern fishing. To understand and use pattern fishing you need to be aware of all the conditions affecting the fish. Water temperature, water conditions, tidal movement, seasons, bait availability, underwater structure. When you note some of these things when you are catching fish you will probably see some consistencies. He could have talked for hours but we cut him off at 8:45pm becasue REI needed to close and we needed to give away some door prizes.
