Outcome of the N. Idaho Pike club meeting

[Fish-N-Fool]

Well I did go to the North Idaho Pike Association meeting. I was the only one that was there, which didn't do much to show them that the folks in Washington were very serious about getting a club started.

The general opinion was that they would welcome us into their club with a new chapter that was based in N. E. Washington. From what Bob Volz said (the Pres. of that club) it would cost little to nothing to get this going. We just need enough people that want to be active in the club.
They also voted to reduce the cost of a membership into the club for all members (new and old), as well as reduced the cost to fish in club tournaments. Both of those would go down by $10, so the membership fees for a year would now be $60 per team of 2, and the tourney fees would be $40 per team in each club events. They did this by getting rid of the points fund and they will now be fishing just for trophies and the fun, not the cash that was given out at the end of the year. Each team has a captain and all points and tournament money is given to them to divide with his partner. There are no individual tournaments. The captain may fish alone, but has to pay the team price. They do NOT hold monthly general membership meetings, They have monthly board meetings and hold a general membership meeting at some of the tournaments during the year. They were also interested in supporting Pike Management in the P.O.

So if you guys are serious about starting a Pike club this is on option that might get it off the ground soon.
What's the general opinion here ? Does anyone else want to pursue this? Does anybody really care ??????

If you have any questions ask and I will try to answer if I know it, if not I can steer you to Bob to answer them.
