May 5, 2004 Meeting Minutes
Officers in attendance: Bob Jones, Chuck Jones, Archie Roche
Total Attendance: 12
Discussions:
1) Treasury reports that we have 1730.00
2) President Bob Jones has spoken with PFBC Area 6 Fisheries Manager, Mike Kaufmann, as well as PFBC Warmwater/Coolwater Production Manager, Marty Marcinko. Indoor tanks are being sent to Pleasant Mount Hatchery, and we may be able to hold over fish in one of these tanks. Marty advises that a new type of feeding pellet has been ordered, and that it will be better than what they are currently using. Marty agrees that feeding them minnows prior to them being stocked, as well as float-stocking, are keys for Muskies to do well. Bob Jones was highly encouraged by his conversations with Mike and Marty, and believes that the Fish Commission really wants to turn the Muskie fishery around.
