Old Business:

 

Nov. Oconee Fishing Pattern Discussion – Spot Remover and crankbaits caught the majority of the fish on a windy day at Oconee.  Wind gust were estimated at 30 mph.

 

It was decided that the Phil Haynie Proposal is a “No Go”.  It would be too difficult for PTCBA to field enough boats (25) to make this event successful.

 

New Business:

 

Lunker Pot for Dec tourney is $505.00. 

 

The December tournament date has been moved to December 13th.  The lake will remain the same (Harding).  We will be using the Alabama Power access ramp on HWY 379/Columbus Rd.  Teams need to be in the water at 6:45am (Georgia time).  Pairings are listed below (boater listed first) in launch order:

Dues:

Points Proposal:

Ex PTCBA member Phil Haynie presented a proposal for the club to sponsor  a tournament for spring of 2009 in conjunction with the baseball players on the Georgia Perimeter College at  Jackson Lake as a potential site.  www.gpc.edu.  Would need about 25 boats to escort the GPC team members on the Lake.  Would this qualify as a Youth Event; Mike B to follow up with GBCF and discuss at next meeting.  May want to research www.YHD.edu  website for another college that did similar activity. 

 

Top Six Qualifier Oct 18-19th (Sat & Sunday) Highland Marina blast off.  Determine interest. Have three members so far interested. If anyone is interested please contact Mike B or the team captain – Nick Ward – nice job Nick for stepping up!

Mike B.  to determine with Van Foster if we have a $300.00 credit from signing up three members in 2008 for use in the Qualifier.

 

Discussion around balance of year tournaments:

·     Should the schedule be modified to increase participation?

·     Last three tourneys have had 2-4 boats. It was decided to keep tournament schedule intact and make the call on G-Ville at the next meeting – Cliff please block 8 rooms and only do so at the State Park if no monetary fee for cancellation is available otherwise go with normal local hotel.
