MESSAGE FROM THE PREZ
After two points tournaments, this Club has shown again how
talented you guys really are. Already we¡¯ve had some
excellent catches and already we¡¯ve had some juggling in the
standings. Great job to all of you for getting your boats in and
out in a timely manner.
At Schroon Lake we had a tough situation with the storms we
encountered. We had a tough weigh-in but we got through it
because we worked together.
We thank the girls for all their help! Rose and Deb cooked our
hot dogs, Sandy sat in the rain scoring our weights, and Bev
(with her raingear in the truck) took all our pictures. The girls
got soaked but never complained.
Congratulations to our first two winners: Jim Underhill at
Rouses Point and Paul Pflieger at Schroon Lake. Hope these
guys will talk to us for a few minutes and tell us how they did
it.
Our July 6th meeting will be pretty much dedicated to fishing,
as we have two tournaments to go over and our two-day draw
for Saratoga (July 14-15). Please think about whether you are
fishing the Husband and Wife tournament on Saratoga INSIDE THIS
(August 11th). This tournament has grown every year and is
really a lot of fun. I urge all you guys who can, to sign up for ISSUE:
it. Prez¡¯s Message 1

Membership Report - Keith Adams: No report. Felix attended his 4th
function, and completely re-did our website. He was voted on and unanimously
accepted into the club! Welcome Felix! Thanks so much for your help on the site.
Banquet Committee - George Locke: Reports that Keith found out that the first room he was
looking at, is too small, and too much money. We are currently looking into the American Legion Hall at
Melvin Roads! They seem to be very willing to work with us.
Conservation Report: Be safe at Rouse¡¯s Point. It¡¯s bigger water. Make sure your fire extinguisher,
bilge pumps and lights work. Paul Pflieger reports that the water quality at Schroon is AA. Meaning it is
fine for drinking water, and contains no green algae. The lake accomplished this by hand harvesting asian
millfoil, boat launch stewards, and education about envasive species.
NYSBCF - First tournament at Cayuga Lake will be on June 17, 2012.
Lunker Pool - Charlie Curcurito: 30 men in! Here we go!!!
