John then gave the Fed Report. Main topic of conversation is the ongoing B.A.S.S./FLW situation. Kind of explained the how we got to where we are and what’s going to happen next. Explained that we should see the 2 proposals at the next Fed meeting and then we as a club can review them at the March meeting. 2006 TOC headquarters is Ernie’s on Gull Lake. The Alternates Tournament will be on Lake Alexander. There is a proposal for the 2007 TOC by Classic 7 for Leech Lake. Fig Rig Rods is continuing to sponsor the Fed. Rods can be purchased at 50% off. They will be at the next 2 Fed meeting with Rods for purchase. Fed was looking for people to man the MN Bass booth at the Sports Show March 28-Apr 2. Contact Steph Peterson at the Fed website to sign up. Free Admission. Not enough clubs turned in the vote on the proposed dead fish penalty. They will take them at the March meeting. Next Fed meeting is March 4th at the Medina Ballroom.

Club Tournament dates and locations are now set. Steve is starting to pull permits. The club discussed options with the Koronis Lake Tournament. Options were to leave it on Koronis and go out of Meeker County ramp, Nest Lake or Norway Lake. A vote was taken and Nest was the unanimous choice.

A brief discussion on the Family picnic after weigh-in at Medicine Lake was held. We would like to find a couple people to help coordinate the food. Should we also look into a shelter? We will discuss more at Feb meeting.

Mike J has offered to have the garage sale at his house again. He has stuff left over from last year and what ever anyone has this year. We usually make enough to pay for the plaques at the banquet. If we want to do the sale start bringing the stuff to the next few meetings and Mike will take it home. We would also have to have more club help at the sale.

John talked about a deal he is working on with Outkast Tackle. They would like to have one of their Pro Staff members come out to a meeting and show their product. They are offering discounts and are going to supply some door prizes for our banquet. We will put them on our web site and see what else we can do for them. Check out their web site at:
