Dick Smith Conservation Report:
Doug Hannon: Bass professor: Use hydrogen paroxide in live well to give them more oxygen You can put in 4 or 5 ounces which would increase the amount of oxygen into the live well.

Some states are banning lead lures. Mass is one state that has banned lead lures. NH has been through this. We need to pay attention to whats happened in the states that are around us.

Youth Director: This position is still needs to be filled. Future of the sport

Presidents Report: Scales: we only have one scale that needs to be certified and cleaned. Tournament Director is in charge of this. We need some money in order to do this. Are we going to buy the warranty? The warranty is $50. We may want to be looking into getiing a new scale.
We may want to look at combining resources between BASS and TBF as far as scales and borrowing equipment. We are not talking about combining federation we are talking about just sharing equipment.

STQT is going to moved to September 29, 2010 instead of September 22, 2010.

No meeting December 2009. Merry Christmas
