Minutes from last meeting were accepted from all that were present.

Treasures Report: Jeff presented the current standings with a note that there is also money to go in from the opens and the wild card. 

Tournament Report: Matt Marinelli and Jason Myslack were the winners for CT TBF at the NSF. 2026 Wild Card winners were Matt Marinelli and Chris D.

Opens: Our 9/28 open had a scale issue that was brought to our attention and the open on 10/12 had 8 boats, the weather was likely a factor in the low turnout.   

Old Business: The scale that was involved in the 9/28 open has been removed from service, and may be sent out for recalibration. A new table was bought that has adjustable legs to make it 	      more sturdy. Jim also bought weights to calibrate the scale before each weigh in. It was also suggested that a competing member of the tournament should be present as a witness 	      to the calibration. It was mentioned that we should have a paper that states "All reweighs must be requested before walking away from the weigh station". Jim offered free 	      entries to those affected by the sale at the 9/28 open. A letter of apology was posted in regard o the incident.
	      Dues for the 2026 season are due January 1st $85 for returning members and $50 for new members.
	      Nick worked on a bunch of updates on the website.

	      Dates for the 2026 NSF is 9/8-9/13.    

New Business: Jim brought a proposed draft of bylaws and would like the bylaws comity to review and bring notes as soon as possible.
