Thread: FJ Directors

Slab, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!! Thank You!!!

Thanks Slab. And thanks to you too ATM, I've used two of your suggestions lately. Barbie must be having a positive effect on you lately.

All kidding aside, I would hope that we could just have a group of folks who want to fish and cook fish once in a while. If you boat a winning number, great. If not, maybe later.

No one has said so, but I bet if you have fished a FJ this year and show up and vote, your vote will be counted.
DD, as long as there is an open forum to debate each and every decision there will be pot stirrers. Major has tried to reign that in, with some degree of success.
I think the biggest challenge is going to be finding people willing to serve.
At a recent election I attended, the floor was opened for nominations, nominations were made, then the vote was held by secret ballot. Seemed to work pretty good.
If you have decided FJ's are not for you, stay off this thread. This thread is for people wanting to fish the FJ's.
I've heard Sat bought the scales. I've heard everyone chipped in, but Sat paid the largest part. Either way, the hat should be passed Sunday until the FJ's own the scales.
Directors having to be in good standing with Crappie.com is BS. If you don't have to be in good standing to fish them, why to be a director? Crappie.com is the venue we use to discuss the FJ's. They don't sponsor us, didn't buy us a set of scales, didn't chip in a grand for our championship, etc. why should Slab be choosing our directors?

I don't know the final break down on the funds for the scales that were bought. I do know that Sat took the bull by the horns and started the ball rolling to get the scales and fronted the money. I also know that I chipped in a hunnert bucks towards the cause because I really enjoyed the board and the getting together and thought it was a good cause. All I can say now is I chipped in to a leason learned. I don't regret because it was helping Sat out and because of that I would chip in again for that reason only.

As far as the directors go..well, momma said if you can't say anything nice just don't say nothing so I guess I will say nothing on that subject here. If you want to talk about it off here call me.

ATM, what I highlighted is the most common sense ting you've ever said on this board, very good statement. The rest I don;t agree with however
