We will be voting on the Championship lake/lakes that we will fish in November. If you are going to be nominating a lake our members may be unfamiliar with, remember we need a lake that has rooms for approximately 30 boats and a good restaurant for Saturday night. so come prepared with this information.

We will have samples of hats and shirts that will be ordered at the April meeting and we will have a price list for you.

You do not have to be a member to attend. If you are interested in how we do things, please come out and sit in with us and ask some questions. Remember to welcome newcomers with open arms. Have fun and tip your server well!

Be kind to David. It's his first time hosting. Wish I could be there!

Gonna miss the meeting and vote. Add one for Broken Bow... Lots of cool places up there that can accommodate.
Another option is Bridgeport or PK. Hopefully it'll be something different like that with some good fat Bronzebacks!
Saturday will be a maybe, depends on how I feel when I get back into town Friday night!

Wait, the roads run west too??? I never knew! Not according to the lakes we select every year...

We will nominate 4-5 lakes and take an initial vote. We'll pare it down to the two that get the most votes and do a runoff. I won't be there but in case of a tie vote in the end, I will be available by phone!

OH IVIE is a great one with a couple marinas that offer lodging and food. It's over 70% full now, which is more than enough fishing area for 40 boats

Meeting is tomorrow night! Come on out!
