Mission Bay Marlin Club had two tournaments during the month of June. The Bass tournament was visited by a big wind all day Saturday and waves that made drift fishing difficult. Sunday was a little better but still difficult.  Those that persevered were the winners.  Personally I had one of the most problematic days I have ever had. I ended up breaking an anchor, tearing up the anchor rode, blowing up a turbo and ripping a intake screen/scoop off the boat. All that and I could not catch a bass to save my life. Congratulations to the winners!

The Potpourri Tournament went a lot better for the Lively One crew. We managed to pick up a few Albacore and one Blue Fin Tuna to weigh in.  That is a good thing as the crew was about to mutiny on the skipper. Our performance on the earlier tournaments was dismal to say the least.
MBMC also had a table set up over at Sunset Marine. Donna McKee and Gerry Perez did some selling of Past Heart Tournament T-shirts and did some club promotions. It worked out great as there were a lot of takers. The Heart Tournament T-shirts are all sorted now as to year and sizes so put in your order early to get some of the old shirts for $5.00. They are great fishing and working on the boat type wear.  We also have some club clothing. The board is going to replenish the hats and some of the stuff. Jackets and the more expensive clothing is by order to order basis. Grab Ed Homer if your interested in some clothing items.

The Heart tournament is getting fired up as some of the first donations have started arriving. The board has gotten some mailings going and some of the preliminary items done such as T-shirts on order and room arrangements. However we still need some help. All these items add up and the board is getting hammered with all the seminars, tournaments, parties, awards, budgets, etc.
The seminars we have had this year have been educational and enjoyable. I invite all to attend if they can. I want these speakers to see we are interested in what they are saying and want to come back next year.  I was really surprised by the interest in boat maintenance.  People approached me after the meeting and were really happy with the seminar.

The board has run into difficulty in arranging the Luau. It seems you must request a Liquor exemption for a function at least 60 days before the event. This was discovered at our July meeting. At 60 days prior, you must present your insurance and pay $150.00. We probably have the insurance but the penalty for every business day after the sixty days lead time cost additional $10.00. The board felt that we had to sacrifice the Luau as attendance was expected to be down because of the economy and if we could not have liquor then that would finish us. We are extending the Yellowtail tournament to two days to cover the weekend events.

Until next time, tight lines and good fishing
