CMU Fishing Club Budget

FY2015 (July 1, 2014 - June 30, 2015)

CMU Fishing Club exists to encourage the camaraderie, sportsmanship, integrity, conservation, and development of the skills and knowledge needed for students to become successful anglers. We participate in both local outings, as well as collegiate level bass tournaments. Any interested members should email Paul Kimball at pkimball@andrew.cmu.edu.

Income and Revenue

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Revenue-Donations/Other Income (-) $300.00 $300.00 $300.00

Sponsorship donations/purchasing assistance from Pure Fishing, our main tackle sponsor; 50% off of all gear--used to offset the cost of waders, rods, reels, and other equipment (gear expenditures).

Revenue-Donations/Other Income (-) $150.00 $150.00 $150.00

Rod/Reel donations from Fenwick/Pflueger. In return, we work to provide year-round photo and video content to the brands. Offsets cost of rods/reels.

Revenue-Membership Dues (-) $300.00 $300.00 $300.00

We ask club members to purchase their own fishing license in lieu of an official membership due. A license costs around $30/year and with around 10 new members/year who have never fished before, total fees run around $300, and are entirely offset by the new members.

Revenue-Donations/Other Income (-) $300.00 $300.00 $300.00

We take around 20 local trips each year (10/semester), as well as 2-3 long-distance (300+ mi) trips, and all gas costs are paid in full by our members in order to save club funds.

Sub-Total -$1,050.00 -$1,050.00 -$1,050.00

Gear Expenditures

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) $300.00 $300.00 $300.00

We are requesting this to outfit 2 new club tackle boxes with gear such as lures, plastic baits, hooks, etc. This will allow us to spread out more when fishing, and help our club members without personal equipment be more independent while fishing as opposed to relying on others' personal tackle boxes. A lure costs around $6 (15/box), a pack of hooks costs around $4 (5/box), and other tools, weights, line, etc. cost a total of $40/box. Half of this will be covered by our Pure Fishing sponsorship (outlined in the revenue section)

Equip-Clothing (+) $300.00 $300.00 $300.00

3 more pairs of waders for the club @ $100/piece--these will allow us to bring a larger number of people out on local fishing trips and open up more fishing options for our members. We currently have 5 pairs of club waders, but have run into occasions where this was not enough and we have had to adapt our plans to accommodate more people.

Equip-Clothing (+) $150.00 $150.00 $150.00

Upkeep for club gear--used for buying new line (5 spools at $10/spool, $100 in new bait and tackle to replace lost gear)

Equip-Non-Capital Equipment (+) $200.00 $200.00 $200.00

Additional rod/reel combos for the club. We currently have around 15 rods/reels, but would like 5 more combos to cover more types of rod (you can't use the same rod for bass as for trout, etc.) That way, we will be able to cover a vast variety of species. We also plan on buying 5 more this year as well with remaining funds. $150 of this is covered by our Fenwick/Pflueger sponsorship.

Sub-Total $950.00 $950.00 $950.00

Travel

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Travel-Gas (+) $300.00 $300.00 $300.00

Gas expense for local trips (20/yr) and long distance trips (around the Northeast for tournaments, and biannual trips to Erie)--paid in full by club members

Travel-Hotel and Lodging (+) $240.00 $240.00 $240.00

Hotel expenses for tournament travel; 3 tournaments/yr. at $80/night. Does not include lodging for trip to Erie, which is covered by a club member's condo "donation."

Ops-Rental Equipment (+) $750.00 $750.00 $750.00

Boat Rental--(Unnecessary if capital expense approved) This year, the FLW is no longer providing participants with boats to use for their tournaments. Competitive bass fishing is the reason our club was founded, and is a major component of the club. In order to continue our participation in this competitive sport, we would need a suitable boat. This would cost approx. $250/day to rent, and would still limit us to no more than three tournaments a year. This expense would be negated if our capital request for a boat is approved.

Sub-Total $1,290.00 $1,290.00 $1,290.00

Meeting/Trip Expenses

Object Code Requested Recommended Final Description
Food-Refreshments for General Body Meetings (+) $125.00 $125.00 $125.00

Food for local fishing trips and indoor learn-to-fish seminars (total of 20 trips, plus 5 educational seminars, $5/meeting.

Equip-Clothing (+) $50.00 $50.00 $50.00
