Looking at a Pike tournament in June, will confirm date and location at next meeting.
All tournaments, with the exception of Aug 4 will be team events, 4 fish limit.
As to the event with Port Perry Brian Gorrill suggested that BASS rules apply to simplify and eliminate any confusion. This will be revisited prior to event.
There was an open discussion as to non-boater portion of expenses as operating expenses, gas in particular have increased. It was left that this would be discussed prior to the event by boater & non-boater, as $20.00 is in most cases low when you consider boat and truck.

Simcoe Qualifier: Bob mentioned that currently had 6 entries, 4 boater and 2 non boater. In order to qualify for the early bird draw they need to be sent in by this Friday, problem is that non & boater must be equal. To see who would have to change was determined by position from last years tournaments, as George Craig & Gary finished with more points than Arlington he was switched to non-boater. It was also agreed that if we can balance the remainder of entries Arlington would be first to be changed back to boater.

There was also some interest from new members, as well as existing members for new tournament shirts. Brian Gorrill agreed to look into and get some prices, looking at probably 12 to 15 shirts.

Reminder that Bass Magnet will be at next meeting.

8:45pm motion by Glen to adjourn, 2nd by Carrie.

New Business:

IN-Water Weigh-in:

Great debate re: tournament plaques. Craig, Larry & Bob to bring samples to February Meeting in attempt to "standardize" Lindsay club plaques. Club expressed importance of 1st 2nd and 3rd place plaques to be at every event. Members encouraged to bring any design ideas and finalize/vote on what info should be included on the plaques' ingraved plate at February meeting. Sample below:

Larry spurred a rather "Heated" debate( see side-note above) re; Tournament pre-registration expressing his discontent with anglers waiting 'till the last minute to enter a given event. Larry suggested a "late fee" might encourage competitors to anti-up well in advance of an event. There was lots of comments and concerns. Ernie suggested its not possible for him to know whether he's fishing or not until often the night before. PeteG stated that his only concern is getting as many boats/Competitors into an event as possible. Randy Hillberg suggested that until we have full fields and waiting lists - early entries does little more than get you a better starting number (Ernie reminded us that early entry doesn't necessarily equal better starting number all the time - politics etc). good debate - guys get your entries in as soon as possible - its better for the sport.

Amendments to the bylaws of the OBF are also being voted on at the general meeting.

Congrats to Jason with the birth of a future bass angler.
Congrats to Fabian for presenting copies of photos taken at the Sandy Lake Tournament.
Bob brought up the purchasing of new weigh scales for club tournaments. A discussion followed. The club is in favour of getting new scales. Some members have concerns about in-water weigh in system of where it can take place in on some tournament waters. Other concerns of who will look after equipment at tournament site and storage. It was decided that a committee will be set up. This will committee with be chaired by Jason, based on his experience in setting up the KW Club system.
Congrats to Pete Garnier on winning are Angler of the Year and also the Lunker of the Year Trophies.

Presidents Report - Bob reported that the steering committee meeting is on March 25th. He also announced that Ontario could be the first host of the 6 man Team Great Lakes Region event in July 2007. Bob went on to advise a qualifier event would held in September possibly on Rice Lake and that Lindsay could field a team for every 12 members on our roster. Speculation was we would have 3 boaters and 3 nonboaters on each team and each would be paired with an opposite from some of the other chapter teams. You would compete against your boat partner weighing your own limit. The 6 team members weights would be combined and tallied against the other teams. It looks like a fun event and we will move our club tournament to accommodate it if necessary.
Also the Qualifier on the Ottawa River, Pettawawa is scheduled for August 26 & 27. Bob Peters is attempting to charge the Federation for trailer storage to the tune of $4,000. causing problems.
Bass Magnet Lures are coming to our June meeting.

Conservation - Brian Gorrill distributed a hand out from Heather Surrette along with a volunteer sign up sheet. Lindsay members are asked to do a spawning survey in the Nonquon as soon as the ice goes out. It will be carried out in the dark with bright lights. Please contact Brian to volunteer with possibly your boat or light. It will take place in late March and early April.
Remember the Fisheries Seminar on April 1st if you plan to attend send your money pronto to reserve your spot.

Guest Speaker - Heather Surette, Aquatic Biologist with the Kawartha Region Conservation Authority led the meeting with a power point presentation. She indicated their jurisdiction, responsibilities and methods used to achieve their mandate. Heather requested volunteers that are 18 years or older by attending a 2 hour training workshop can contribute through sampling and collecting research data in the field. Also financial contributions are welcomed, or volunteering for the Great Canadian shore line clean up usually held in September.
Heather Surette is heading an early season spawning study on the Nonquon River that will take place right after the ice goes out that she is looking for help with especially volunteers with Bass boats for easy access. Heather followed up by answering the members questions. The presentation was well received and very informative. It left us with numerous options to volunteer our time and resources for those that feel a need to give back to the sport and fishery that we enjoy.
Members were asked to fill out questionnaires concerning the Nonquon River

Presidents Report - Bob reported on the FLW versus BASS controversy. Both Lindsay and the Ontario Federation has voted to remain with BASS and it appears to be a good decision. The FLW offer is very generous and while very good it appears to favour the TBF management while the new BASS Nation deal benefits the individual with more oppourtunities. BASS have backed down from their original position by offering to reinstate the TBF directors memberships as of March 01, 2006 and to reinstate the Divisional tournaments. New in 2007 will be a 6 man Chapter team competition. A Federation financial review at the Steering Comm. Meeting showed the Federation's financial position is vastly improved from last years. The Conservation Seminar that is being organized by Wil Wegman and Jason Barnucz for early April will be open to any members who wish to attend. Guest speakers include Gord Pyzer and Dr. Mark Ridgway considered a leading Smallmouth expert. There will be oppourtunities to gain some insight into fish habits.

Conservation - Brian Gorrill reported that due to time constraints a major spawning project which he has been working on in conjunction with Sir Sanford Flemming College will be attempted in 2007. We can apply for CFWIP funding accordingly. This year we hope to make a start by helping the Conservation Authority with their projects through Heather Surette.

We were fortunate that George could take the other non-boater. Also we were lucky that there were only small fish caught and there was room in the livewells.
(Note: At this time Arlington Woodford took the floor and apologized to the club for missing the date. Arlington then stated that he would go as a non-boater for the rest of the 2005 tournaments. The club accepted his apology. )

Motion was voted on and passed unanimously.
Discussion ensued and it was decided that logo will appear on the right breast.
Paul Jones brought up our tournaments and the limit of 4 fish per angler. He felt that this was too large for the livewells and causing undue stress to the fish. He suggested that if we our continuing our present formula of boater-non-boater that we should reduce the limit to 3 fish each. Fabian Lynch added that this change was done because of the Angler of the Year and a person could win and not catch a fish. A discussion ensued ending in a motion.
Motion by Pete Garnier: That all tournaments starting at our next one go back to the team format and remain that way until a change is needed.
Motion was voted on and carried unanimously.
As for Fabian's comment, we the club will have to decide how we will award the Trophy at a future meeting.
