• Rosemarie and Pete also mentioned that they have stored the EZ-Up sun shelter in their garage for the past several years.  As the club no longer uses it during weigh-ins (hassle to put up and take down) , they wanted to know if they could sell it at an upcoming Onion Creek Subdivision Garage Sale (on May 26 from 7 am to 2 pm) and give the money back to the club.  Marilyn said that Team Connell might be interested in purchasing it from the club.  If her partner disagrees then Team Trevino will sell at the GS.

The first meeting of the New Year was held on Tuesday,January 3,2012,at the IHOP on Highway 183 and Duval. Eleven teams gathered to wish each other a Happy New Year and to start the business of fun bass fishing for 2012.

Treasurer Rosemarie Trevino reported on the financial status of the club and reminded members that the annual club dues of $30.00 per couple are due now. Members must pay by the February meeting to be eligible to fish in the February club tournament.

Tournament Director Jesse Sanchez announced the winners of the December 17 LBJ tournament and Rosemarie distributed the awards. Club members chose the times to fish the January 21 tournament on Lake Bastrop and they are 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. The weigh-in will be held at the North Shore ramp. Jesse held a discussion regarding this tournament. He first passed around some photos of fish measured on a “Check-it” stick and suggested that members do not fish solo for this Paper-Photo tournament as the wiggling fish will be difficult to keep still on the measuring ruler and be photographed at the same time. A lengthy discussion was held by members regarding taking photos,a time and date stamp on the camera,integrity issues and the number of fish that could be brought to the weigh-in. The final results regarding this tournament are: Jesse will send email to all members the evening before this tournament and tell them what object needs to be in the photograph along with their fish Teams will measure fish on their own ruler (preferably a “Check-it Stick”) and take a photograph. No tail pinching. Teams may bring in one fish over the slot (14 inches to 21 inches) per person. Big Bass awards will only be given out to fish over the slot. If no Big Bass is brought in for either Men or Women,then the award money will be distributed among the First, Second and Third (if applicable) place winners in this tournament. Fish to be considered for Big Bass (Women’s and Men’s) must be brought to the weigh-in. All fish,even those over the slot,must be recorded on the weigh-in paper. Teams were given a paper to record their results and this must be completed and submitted when the weigh-in begins. The photographs of the first three place winners will be examined.

The February tournament will be held on Saturday,February 11 on Lake Fayette and the times and weigh-in location will be chosen at the February 7 club meeting. When this lake was initially chosen,members voted to have it held as a “lake rules” tournament. A discussion was held about this and we may possibly change it to another Paper-Photo tournament pending the weigh-in procedures at the Bastrop tournament.

Old Business: Members were reminded about the club party which will be held at The UT Club on Saturday,January 7 from 6:00 pm to around 9:00-10:00 pm. Each member should bring a wrapped gift,new,approximately $20.00 in value,related in some way to Bass Fishing or what we do as a club and something that either a man or a woman would enjoy We will have 25 members and guests present Members were reminded that the two Constitution and Policy changes voted in last month are now in effect:

Constitution, Section I, Membership, #3: A member may fish a club tournament alone but a team may only fish with a guest twice in a given year (being January through December of said year). Only club members are eligible for the Big Bass of the Year award. Policies, Section II, Tournaments, #8: The Tournament Director will measure fish at his or her discretion. A .25-pound deduction will be assessed PER dead fish at the weigh-in. It will be up to our Tournament Director to determine if a fish is dead.

The Spring Two-Day tournament will be held on March 17 and 18 at Lake Falcon and reservations are being held for our club in Brenda Davis’ name. Sunbridge Motel in Zapata is the motel and their phone number is 956-765-1221. These rooms will be held until January 10.

New Business: TABC was discussed and members voiced some opinions about participating in the organization and sending a team to the annual tournament. Dues are to be paid on April 15 and we should know around that time when and where the tournament will be held so voting about this will be held in April.

Prize Drawing: Lesli Brown brought in some great prizes. Team Martinez now holds the “Steal Token” for the February meeting.

Our President, Lesli Brown, kicked off our last meeting of the year by announcing our upcoming birthdays:  Judy Anderson on the 6^th, Sugein Sanchez on the 7^th and Leslie Kilough on the 11^th.  With no anniversaries to talk about, Lesli quickly reviewed our financial report in our treasurer’s absence.

Jesse, our Tournament Director, was next to talk and recognized the Lake Amistad 2-Day tournament winners.  Our club members all agreed on having our December 17^th tournament run from 7am to 3pm and we will use our usual weigh in site at the Yacht club.  Our February tournament will be held on the 11th at Lake Fayette using lake rules.

The club members discussed possible constitution and policy changes which will be voted on at our December meeting.  We agreed to a 4 oz dead fish penalty.  As suggested by Mr. Summer, the wording is based on TABC’s policy:  A .25-pound deduction will be assessed PER dead fish at the weigh-in. It will be up to our Tournament Director to determine if a fish is dead.  The club members also agreed to try a paper tournament with photos.  The tournament director will determine an “indicator” to be place next to each fish that is caught to validate that the photo was from the day of the tournament.  The “indicator” will be an object that everyone has on their boat.  Our tournament director will also get a conversion chart which he will share at our next meeting that will tell us what the weight of a fish is based on its length.  At the weigh in, our tournament director will verify the photos of our 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place teams.

Our Holiday party will be held on January 7^th at the UT Club at 6pm.  If you cannot pay the $77 per couple today, please bring your money to the LBJ tournament.  As a reminder, the club will pay for our Sponsors and our lifetime member, Donna Heinemann to come to the Holiday party.  Everyone needs to bring a gift valued at $20.00 that is a unisex gift for our White Elephant event.  The gifts are not gag gifts, but rather something nice that you would want for yourself.

We almost didn’t have our prize drawing because we were short on tickets, but the crew at IHOP came through for us and gave us tickets.  Our club members brought an array of items for the drawing and it was a big success.  The club was able to raise $200 for the Capital Area Food Bank.

On Tuesday November 1^st, club members returned to the IHOP restaurant on 183 and Duval Road to go over a very packed agenda.  Our President, Lesli Brown, kicked us off by announcing our upcoming birthdays:  Monica Wacker on the 19^th, Jesse Sanchez on the 20^th and Jesse Martinez on the 21^st.  With no anniversaries to talk about, we quickly turned to our treasurer Rosemarie Trevino for our financial report update.

Our Tournament Director, Jesse Sanchez, was given the floor next and started by announcing our Lake Austin Winners.  Team Pederzani (3^rd place), Team Gold (2^nd place) and our Winners the Wackers all shared how they caught them and what lure the fish were biting on.  Karl and Monica used a june bug Yamamoto worm to catch their limit.   Club members voted on the tournament times for our two-day tournament this month and decided on fishing from 6am to 4pm on the 12^th and from 6am to 2pm on the 13^th.  The weigh in is at Diablo East.  Our December tournament is on the 17^th at Lake LBJ.  Our January tournament will be held on the 21^st at Lake Bastrop and after much discussion, it was decided that it would be a paper tournament with digital camera photos.

The club members discussed possible constitution and policy changes which will be voted on at our December meeting.  A dead fish penalty, correcting the verbiage associated with fishing with a guest, and determining how to incorporate the option to hold paper tournaments were all topics that resulted in lengthy yet thorough discussions where members voiced their opinions and spoke freely.  It was determined that the Assistant Tournament Director role did not have to be voted on as a formal position.

Everyone needs to bring something for our December prize drawing to be given to charity.  The group discussed choosing a food bank to give the funds raised and Leslie Brown motioned that we also bring 2 canned food items per team to donate in addition to the funds raised.  The club supported her notion after discussing the need associated with the food banks during the holidays.

Our Holiday party will be held on January 7^th at the UT Club at 6pm.  The cost will be $77 per couple and we must have at least 10 to 12 couples in order to be able to use the UT Club venue.  The club will use the funds in the treasury to pay for our Sponsors to come to the Holiday party.  Larry asked if we could also use money from the treasury to pay for our lifetime member Mrs. Heinemann to attend the holiday party.  The club members agreed and Brenda will invite Donna to attend.

Nominations for 2012 officers began and ended successfully.  Rosemarie suggested that officers serve for 2 year terms and several members of the club thought it was a good suggestion.  It will be a subject that will need further consideration at our December meeting.  Our 2012 Officers are President- Joe Connell, Vice President- Lesli Brown, Treasurer- Rosemarie, Secretary- Marilyn/Brenda, Tournament Director- Jesse Sanchez, and Photographer- Sugein Sanchez.

Our Meeting was held on October 4^th at Red Lobster.  Ten teams were represented and they were Team Parish, Davis, Brown, Sanchez, Connell, Summers, Martinez, Wacker, Trevino and Pederzani.  Our President, Lesli Brown, was out sick so Brent Parish led the meeting on her behalf.  A very Happy Birthday to Larry Pederzani on the 14^th and Jane Bingle on the 28^th.  Celebrating an Anniversary are Robert & Lesli Brown on the 11^th & Allen & Josie Logan on the 25^th!  We also had a very special attendee at our meeting, Donna Heinmann, a Club Lifetime Member and she came bearing gifts!

Financial Report

Rose Marie presented our Financial Report.  She pointed out that the “Live Well Fund” that we had started earlier in the year was not very successful and had only yielded $8.50 so far.  The group agreed to stop taking donations and just apply that money towards our Club treasury totals.

Tournament News

• Our Tournament Director, Jesse Sanchez, announced our Inks Lake Tournament Winners and Rosemarie handed out the checks.  Our top three teams (Connell, Summers & Parish), told what they used to catch their fish and at what depths.
• We voted on our October 22^nd Lake Austin tournament  times and decided on 7am to 3pm with the weigh in at the 360 bridge.  As a reminder, our two day tournament will be held on November 12^th & 13^th.  Our Tournament Director has received the permit now allowing us to conduct our weigh in at Diablo East.  The Club voted to have our December Tournament on the 17^th at Lake LBJ.
• Jesse recognized Larry Pederzani and Gail Pederzani for running the weigh in last week at Inks Lake in Team Sanchez’s absence.

Old Business

• TABC- MMBC finished in 19^th place out of 28 teams.  Special recognition goes out to Team Summers for their involvement and hard work with TABC and to Jerry Gold for all the help that he provided to keep  fish alive.  Robert informed us that the experience was great overall despite the lack of volunteers at the event this year.  The dinners were good and the raffle prizes were great.  Traffic jams were caused due to livewell checks conducted at the same place where boats were launching from.  The boats were required to come back after they launched (to the same place) to have their livewells inspected.  Next times- Don’t stay at Executive Inn because the parking was a nightmare and they do not allow for late check-outs.  All the teams that attended agreed that the fishing on Lake Falcon was great and Larry went on to suggest that we consider it for our Spring Two Day Tournament.  This sparked a lot of interest from our team members and Robert Brown will have Lesli Brown call and check on lodging availability for early February or mid-March so that we can discuss at our November meeting.
• Jesse recognized Pete for stepping in and doing everything for him since he was dealing with a bad eye infection.  Robert Brown recognized Foundation Auto for having donated $400 toward TABC.  We need to remember to invite him to our holiday party this year as a way to show our appreciation.

New Business

• Allen Summers provided us with a couple of very important facts about boating.  He informed us that if you’re using a Type 2 life vest (the small ones with the CO2 canisters) you are still required by law to wear a full life vest.   Also he gave us some things to remember about passing boats on the water and who has the right of way when.
• Marilyn reminded us that we need to start thinking of who we want to nominate for office in 2012.  Are we going to want to conduct our December raffle for charity and what charity.  Our constitution needs to be updated to include some of the rule changes that we made this year.  We also need to start thinking about where we want to have our Holiday Party.  The UT Club is still an option.
• Brenda informed us that several members have brought to her attention the desire to return to IHOP for our meetings.  IHOP never knew that we we’re going to use their room anymore.  They still have the room reserved for us every 1^st Tuesday of the month so we can return.  The Club members voted and the majority ruled to return and have our November meeting back at the IHOP at 183 & Duval.
• Robert Brown let us know that October 15^th is “Take a Soldier Fishing” day on Lake Belton.  Robert will email us all the website and encourages us to participate if we can because it is such a good cause.

The meeting wrapped up with a wonderful raffle conducted by Team Parish.

The teams came together on the day after the Labor Day Holiday on September 6^th, 2011 at the Red Lobster off of Hwy 183 & Anderson Lane.

Our President, Lesli Brown, began our meeting by wishing a Happy Anniversary to Luther & Alice Lentz on the 19^th.  Glenda Summers brought a delicious dessert for everyone to celebrate Allen’s homecoming.  Adios Mexico- we’re glad to have him back for good!

Rosemarie Trevino, our treasurer, reviewed our financial report with us.

Jesse Sanchez, our Tournament Director, announced the winners of our Lake LBJ Tournament while Rosemarie distributed the checks.  Each of our winners told us what lures they used as well as what depths they were fishing.  The Club voted on times for the September Tournament to be held at Inks Lake on Saturday, October 1^st from 7am to 3pm.  The weigh-in will be at the State Park.  Members also agreed on Lake Austin for our October 22^nd Tournament.  Jesse informed the group that he submitted for our permit for our November Two Day Tournament at Lake Amistad allowing us to conduct our weigh-in at Diablo East.

TABC- Our Parish/Killough team will not be able to go to the tournament on September 24^th & 25^th.  We need a team to step up in order for us to have adequate representation at the tournament.  Larry expressed concern and felt that this happens very often.  At the beginning of the year everyone agrees to be a part of TABC and wants to be eligible to attend, but once the tournament date nears, we are struggling to find teams who will fish it.  Several members discussed their availability and interest in participating and our four teams will consist of:  Lesli Brown & Robert Brown, Larry Pederzani & Allen Logan, Jesse Sanchez & Pete Trevino and Allen & Glenda Summers.   Lesli Brown took down each of participant’s shirt sizes to provide to TABC.

So far we have one returning TABC sponsor, Foundation Auto, located off of McNeil & HWY 183.  They have agreed to pay our entry fee.  Jesse Sanchez is still working to try to achieve sponsorship from his company.

Marilyn & Joe reminded everyone that they are our club photographers and requested that weigh-ins do not begin before they arrive.  Teams- please go to the weigh in together so that after your fish have been weighed in, you can have your picture taken together.

Leslie & Brent conducted the raffle and the Davis Team had the steal token.

Present at our July Meeting and earning attendance points were Team Summers, Team Parish/Killough, Team Gold, Team Pederzani, Team Trevino, Team Wacker, Team Martinez, Team Connell, Team Davis, Team Tyree, and Team Brown.

Our President called the meeting to order and began by wishing Karl Wacker a Happy Birthday on the 1^st and Donna Tyree on the 8^th.Larry & Gail Pederzani celebrated an Anniversary on the 4^th.

Lesli Brown then turned it over to our Treasurer, Rosemarie Trevino, who provided us the financial report.

The Trevino’s are willing to hand their magnetic car signs over to anyone willing to use them.  Rose also mentioned that she had business cards to possibly tack up on business cork boards.

Our Assistant Tournament Director Brent Parrish announced the winners of our Stillhouse Tournament while Rose distributed the checks.  The Club voted on times for the July 23^rd Lake Austin Tournament to be 10pm Saturday night to 10am on Sunday morning.  The weigh-in will be at the 360 bridge.  Times for our August 13^th LBJ Tournament will be decided at our August meeting.  Larry Pederzani made a motion that we wait to see what the weather is like for the September tournament and the club members agreed.

TABC- The tournament will be on September 24^th & 25^th.

Next meeting club members are asked to bring any information regarding lodging, lake availability, etc.  A few lakes suggested by our members were Lake O.H. Ivey and Amistad.

Leslie conducted the raffle and the Connell’s used the steal token against the Trevino’s.

Special Thanks to the Parrish/Killough Team for stepping in for Team Sanchez while they were out of town.  Leslie, you took great notes!
