TEXAS CHAPTER
AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY
NUMBER 3/'?7- AUGUST, 1986
AYMESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
We've passed the halfway point in the year, and the Texas Chapter has made si
ficant progress toward our annual goals through the hard work of dedicated committ
chairmen and members. The Pond Management Committee under Billy Higginbotham revi
the Chapter's first Special Publication, STOCKING AND MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS F
TEXAS FARM PONDS. They did an excellent job, incorporating a regional guide to
stocking throughout the state, and other new information. The Pond Management
Committee would like to hear from you now. What should the Committee tackle next?
Through the Committee, the Chapter has produced two outstanding publications in th
past few years. Is there some other topic that would fit well into the same forma
Suggestions to date include fish transport techniques, the use and management of
supplemental forage species, and the use of commercial rations to enhance sportfis
production. Or, would it be appropriate for the Committee to serve a research
coordination function, similar to the Striped Bass and Reservoir Committees of the
an undertaking by various agencies and scientists to look at some common problems
statewide interest, such as reasonable targets for largemouth bass relative weight
small pond populations. Contact Billy or me if you have ideas to share, or if you
would like to become involved in such activities.
Other Committees are also quite active. Dave Lee (Membership) is completing
transfer of the Membership Directory into a format compatible with almost any micr
computer that future chairmen will need to use. Additionally, we should have an i
for the current directory availabe at this years meeting. Jim Davis and the ad ho
Urban Fisheries Committee have been trying valiantly all year to line up sponsors
manpower for an urban fishing clinic. Things are finally starting to fall togethe
and hopefully the clinic will occur before our fall meeting. As always, the Award
(Bobby Whiteside) and Nominating (Jaime Geiger) Committees are hamstrung by a lack
of nominations from the membership. Please, think about who in the Chapter deserve
Award recognition or nomination for an office, and contact these Chairmen with you
suggestions. The Editorial (Dick Luebke) and Newsletter (Tony Maciorowski). are albusy and would welcome your help. As the annual meeting approaches, activity in t
Exhibits and Advertising (Bruce Hysmith) and Program (Joe Tomasso) assist in the
important activities of all of these,Committees. Remember, the Chapter can only r
a meaningful professional organization through the activities of its members.
We look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting.
