tournament and is not in the top ten finishers at the end of the fishing
season you will qualify as a contestant however, if there is more than

Tournament Director
Jay Bise discussed the away tournament this year will be on Houghton
Lake. Details to follow.
Dave Fogleman:
suggested that we honor Jim Fletcher by changing the Classic tournament
from the Harry Hoffman Memorial to the James Fletcher Memorial
Tournament. Open discussion regarding this suggestion and we tabled this
to another meeting that involved more members.
Jason Hurst:
Suggested that we maintain our club status in the MBI. Due to a
tournament scheduled on the same date as the MBI for 2011 there was a
suggestion that we move our tournament so club members can fish the MBI.
Bill discussed that we try to keep our club schedule on track and not
make any changes for outside tournaments.
Jay Berwick:
brought up that we think about fishing inland lakes (only) from an 8
hour tournament to a 6 hour tournament. Reasons included that the summer
heat shuts down the fishing and the day becomes a long drawn out one
that produces less fish as the day gets hotter. Open discussion.

trophies and awards. The date of the banquet: FEBRUARY 5th.

children and that money will go to them for this fund.

by Jeff Throop. Club vote was unanimous and the money will be sent
following the fishing show.
