Old Buisness:

Mack asked question concerning the distribution of special funds over $400 dollars. John responded with- at the end of the year prior to the fish off all funds in excess of $400 is put into the fish off fund.
John Buck made reminder of our end of year banquet being held at Cock of the Walk on Dec 5th.
Owner talked with John tonight about our purchases being pretty short last month - his primary concern is the waitresses making a minimum of $30 in tips. The waitresses are brought in specifically to wait on us.
John reiterated to everyone we have to eat and be sure to tip the waitresses or we will either have to pay for the room or leave.

Jeff Weaver made point that this issue comes up fairly regularly and either we are going to spend enough or not. Those that are going to eat or going to and those that are not or not and discussing it is not going to change anything.
There was some discussion regarding a participation requirement - John made the point that discussion would be best held until September/October for motions to change the Constitution. Also discussion regarding a tip jar available for everyone attending making a mandatory contribution when attending the meeting in an effort to ensure the waitresses received adequate tips. No motions were made.


New Buisness:

John Buck discussed Jere Jaillite's idea regarding a special grab bag for the October meeting. Every member donates 1 item to the grab bag.
Most members seemed in favor.

July Tournament:

This tournament brought several descriptions to mind but not too many of those would be much about fun.
Pretty much just a hot and miserable day. A rain shower would have been appreciated just for a change if nothing else. It was even too hot for the fish to play today. Not many keepers boated. 14 Hawg Hunters went on the prowl but only 5 were successful with 1 keeper each.

Congratulations to those 5 anglers that were able to persevere and put a fish in the well - or just lucky enough to be at the right place at the right time.

Lee Brannon made a sweep with his lunker of 1.48 lbs (his only keeper) for first place and the big fish of the day. There was a really tight battle for 2nd place but Mack Cramer nosed out Marc Churchwell .94 lbs to .93 lbs. Bringing up the bottom of the pay off is Jeff Weaver with his keeper of .83 lbs.

Today's results shook up the overall standings a little bit. John Buck's lead is quite a bit less now with only 16 points separating the top 3. Jeff Weaver continues to move up the leader board and is now firmly in 4th place.

A good day overall, everyone stayed hydrated and no dead fish (pretty easy to do when there aren't many in the well). Just remember any day fishing is a good day…just some are better than others.
