Thanks for posting these, Stu. Your pink font threat seems a little harsh, though, considering there are so many reasons people can't make meetings. Complaining is just part of a club and unavoidable no matter how good its volunteers are.

Anyways, I hope this isn't construed as complaining, but I would recommend that the tournament director and board come up with a couple of back-up options for months where Lake Whatcom is a second option. I remember times in the past at the state permit drawings where we could have ended up with the same lake twice in one year.

The schedule looks pretty cool, CONSIDERING I WASN'T THERE TO VOTE. Of course, Riffe Lake is the WORST lake ever and I wouldn't have ever voted for it IF I HAD BEEN AT THE MEETING TO VOTE.

Just kidding around, Stu  

I just want to say that maybe we consider a lake that carrries both largies and smallies for the draw tournament. It kinda sucks for new members that they learn about all the different ways to catch a largemouth. When almost all are tournies are based around smallies or a split bag of large and smallmouth. I love tradition, don't get me wrong. It just seems more reasonable. I wasn't at the meeting so I won't say anything about our lake selections. [color=#ff3333][/color] Except for I'm with Sarge and that Riffe is the most boring lake to fish.

whaaaaaaaaaaaa whaaaaaaaaaa,  Please put me in the pink.      I'm with Sarge,  Riffe sucks.  Other than that lets go fishing.

Hey, guys. Your points are well made against the pink notices, but there were only about 25 people at this meeting, even though the board announced it at the August meeting, sent out an e-mail to all of the addresses on the list in the web site and sent an announcement in the newsletter.

I thought that more folks would show this year to vote for the lakes they really wanted, especially after the loud complaining about Lower Columbia, etc. by some members this year.

Once again, it was a very small group who voted for the clubs lakes. It's too late to do any good if you don't like them, so hopefully everyone will just get out and fish these lakes and have a good time.

Stu

Ok, Ok...I figured that I got my $35 worth of moaning and groaning.   Ron is so right about choices to fish or not.  But I will go to my grave saying Riffe sucks and Moses comes in a close second.  That said, I suppose I will fish them anyway, only because it is a great club.

This isn't any fun at all!  Everybody is behaving like little angels, getting along  and agreeing with each other.

I want to hear some genuine moaning , crying , and whining.

How are we suppossed to have any fun here if everyone agrees on sometihing, even if reluctantly?

Smitty - Could have gone deep on this one, for sure, but as a past president and vp of the club, I know what it feels like to have your decisions constantly second guessed.  I respect everything everyone does to keep the club going strong.  It is not an easy job at all. 


Still think Riffe sucks .....
