INTRODUCTIONS
AND ANNOUNCEMENTS: Guests introduced were:
COMMITTEE
REPORTS:
YOUTH: Youth Director LARRY
RAGANIT was not present and did not report
¨
We
are still waiting for the youth chapter packets.
¨
Scyler
talked about the C.A.S.T. event for the East at Lake Walcott. They had 40 boats
and still could have used some more help.
¨
The
C.A.S.T. event for the South will be August 24 at Black Canyon Reservoir. We will need volunteers with boats and any
extra fishing tackle available for the kids. We also need pontoon boats for the kids in wheelchairs.
¨
Dusty
received some products from Berkley. He
sent some of it to each region for use in youth events.
¨
We
are going to try and hold a youth fishing event this year for kids 16 years and
younger. The scheduled date in Oct. 5
in Payette at a Federation member’s private pond. The pond might not be fishable by then due to low water or weeds.
CONSERVATION: Conservation Officer STEVE
BURK reported:
¨
We
are still in a low water year. Mormon
and Magic Reservoirs have been opened to fish salvage because they are going to
go dry. There have been a lot of
whitefish dying in the Snake River due to low water levels and high
temperatures.
¨
Remind
everyone in tournaments that with the high temperatures we need to do extra
things to keep our fish healthy. Adding
salt seems to be working, anglers need to carry ice for cooling livewells as
well.
TOURNAMENT
DIRECTOR:
Tournament director Dusty Womack reported:
¨
The
trailer on the release boat is getting in bad shape and needs to be
repaired/upgraded. This will probably
be done this winter when it is not in use.
¨
Updating
the tournament rules was discussed. The
executive board will meet and go over the rules.
¨
The
State Team Code of Conduct needs to be updated as well. The executive board will go over these as
the same time as the tournament rules.
COMMUNICATION: Communication Officer J.C.
WORTHEN reported:
¨
Bills
for the ads in the newsletter have been sent out.
NEW BUSINESS:
¨
ESPN/B.A.S.S.
are cutting back on paying for rooms and meals for officers sent to the
Classic. We may need to look at cutting
back on the number of people that we send in the future.
There being no more new business, President Womack
reminded all that the next meeting would be on August 15. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
