Note: Due to our hosting site migration from one site to another, there was some threads\information lost during the conversion. I initially noticed it a week after the migration but was too lazy to recreate from my memory\notes what that last SJBCA meeting was about. I'll do my best now to re-collect some of the key points. My apologies in advance.
Good morning once again SJHT members and guest.
On Wednesday night, Jan. 15, 2014 I attended the monthly SJBCA 3rd Wednesday of the month meeting down at the 4th Ward Clubhouse...
At last nights meeting, the 2014 conflict list submissions were discussed and some clubs (Not ours) still have some dates to work out.
Al Franchetta mentioned that nominations for Angler excellence and youth activity forms were accepted and the winners would be announced by the end of nights meeting.
I submitted and nominated Jackson for the Lunker of the Year award and Bill Leach for his 3 Bass weight caught at Assunpink Lake.
I am proud to announce that Bill "The Hammer" Leach won the 3 Bass weight caught at Assunpink Lake and will be honored at nexts month Feb. 19th, 2014 meeting. He will recieve a plaque along with his picture to be taken. Congrats Bill!!!
