Re: Attracting new members
Another thing we might do is consider running an ad in the local paper.
Re: Attracting new members
I think the Youth Tourny would be a good idea because not only would it be a good community service, it would get the younger generation interested in fishing. The young folks are where the future is at. It's much easier to get a 16 yr. old interested than a older fisherman that has gotten burned out. We might could have the youth tourny one month instead of our regular tourny. That would give us somewhat of a break in the middle of the season. I personally will probably be fishin somewhere most of time but I do know that with our 9 tourny per year schedule, folks seem to get burned out. We might consider just going on a fishin trip for a weekend one month instead of a tourny. We could still have 6 or 7 tournys for the competition part of the club. Maybe 6 regular season tournys and a classic. Just a thought. I'm game for most anything. RT
Attracting new members
We had a succesful year in 09. However, our tournament participation has dwindled. We need to be thinking of ways to attract new members. Some suggestions are: (1)Youth tournament (2)Buddy or Pick-a partner Tournament. Other thoughts?

Rez Rules - sent by Randy Thomas
Ya’ll may have already seen this but this is what is posted on the http://www.therez.ms/Regulations.htm site. I don’t think this is anything new……maybe they intend to enforce it differently. I suppose the question for us is…..Does the Leake Co. Bass Club fit under part 4.2.4 ?
4.2 Tournaments, Contests and Rodeos.
4.2.1 It shall be unlawful to promote or hold on the waters of the Reservoir any fishing tournament, contest, rodeo or other fishing event without first registering the event with the General Manager of the District on forms prescribed for such purpose (including name of sponsor, fees payable to sponsor and others, copies of promotional material, date and times of event, areas of Reservoir involved and other relevant information).
4.2.2 Additionally, it shall be unlawful to promote or hold on the waters of the Reservoir any fishing tournament, contest, rodeo or other fishing event involving fifty (50) or more boats without first securing written authorization therefor from the General Manager of the District, payment of a fee to the District in the amount of four dollars ($4.00) for each boat involved in the tournament and providing a satisfactory certificate of public liability insurance. Authorization is discretionary.
4.2.3 For events involving fifty or more boats, written application and payment shall be received by the General Manager of the District no later than sixty days in advance of the event. For events involving fewer than fifty boats, written application shall be received by the General Manager of the District no later than thirty days in advance of the event. No event will be scheduled until receipt by the District of the complete written application and, if applicable, payment of the permit fee and delivery of certificate of insurance. Events will not be scheduled more than one (1) year in advance.
4.2.4 Bona fide local civic, charitable, cultural and governmental organizations not operated for profit for federal income tax purposes who verify in writing to the District that one hundred percent of the funds payable from participants, sponsors and others in the event will be paid to the organization and used in sponsoring the event and in furthering the tax exempt purposes of the organization, are exempt from payment of the permit fee but are subject to all other provisions of this section.
4.2.5 Fishing tournaments, contests, rodeos and other fishing events shall be scheduled to encompass any weekend of the month unless the Board of Directors has declared certain weekends closed to such events for public health, safety or welfare as designated in the minutes of the Board from time to time.
4.2.6 Each violation of this regulation shall constitute a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by a fine of not more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).

Re: Ethanol in your boat moter
Thanks for the info. Barney says Wheel-In is the only place in Carthage that sells gasoline without ethanol.
Ethanol in your boat moter
Ethanol Gasoline in Marine Engines
By: Lakes Online
Article Date: 11/19/2008
Your boat’s greatest enemy may be its fuel. There are a number of reports in the press about the negative effects of ethanol in marine fuel tanks -- this is a concern for boat owners.
The problem began when many areas began banning the use of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), replacing it with ethanol blends. This â€new†fuel, referred to as E-10 (10 percent ethanol, 90 percent unleaded gasoline), was not designed with the fuel needs of marine engines in mind. Unlike fuel tanks in autos, boat tanks are vented to the air. Ethanol attracts a significant portion of its weight in water, especially in warm, humid climates. When this occurs, the ethanol and the water separate from the fuel and settle at the bottom of the tank. The result is goo in the fuel systems, clogged filters and stalled engines. If that isn’t bad enough, ethanol has negative effects on fiberglass tanks because the ethanol dissolves fiberglass.
Ethanol will attach to water and that combination will sink to the bottom of the tank, separating from the gasoline. When the engine is started it will be operating on only ethanol and water. In fuel systems where oil and fuel are premixed, no lubrication is supplied to the engine. Without lubrication, engine failure will be immediate. In older two-cycle engines that use premixed fuel, the ethanol has a tendency of cleaning the oil off the cylinder walls resulting in wear and overheating.
Newer outboard motors are calibrated for ethanol gas; however, older outboards could experience problems. Ethanol can reduce the octane numbers by as much as three percent. This can result in pinging or poor performance. Be sure to inspect your fuel filters often. When you are running your boat regularly, be sure to keep the tanks full. This will reduce the amount of air flow in and out of the tank with changes in temperature. At the present time there is no practical additive that can correct the separation issue. The only real solution is to keep the water out of the tank. If you are going to put your boat up for any length of time, completely drain the tank. If that is not possible, fill it as full as possible and do whatever is necessary to keep air out of the tank.
Some of the plastic/butyl/composite hoses, o-rings and gaskets that can be found throughout the propulsion system can be affected by the properties of ethanol. Keep a close eye out for any premature deterioration in these items. In addition, clean and/or change fuel filters regularly. In fact, some boat owners have added a second filter in their systems for protection
