A big shout out to our guest speaker for our March meeting, Jeff Mariani from Casa-deCedros. Such a great wealth of information, and a bucket list destination for sure!! I am looking forward to our next guest speaker, Tonie Bangos. I have always thought of her as The little girl who knows it all! You might have seen her on the Bloody Decks “Sportboat Roundup” fishing updates, but now you get to see her in person! So, be sure to mark your calendars and enjoy another great presentation from those who know! When you arrive at our next meeting on April 4th, there are several things I ask you to do. First, please be sure to sign in, whether you’re a guest, an active member, or a renewing member. If you are a first-timer after winning your membership at the Bart Hall Show, you get 10 Free Raffle Tickets, so be sure to ask for those and we will check you off the list. If you are an active member and you’re bringing a guest, you each get 10 Free Raffle Tickets too!! But wait, there’s more! If your guest joins that night, you each get 10 more Free Raffle Tickets!!! And don’t forget to wear your membership badge for the Badge Raffle! Next, stop to sign up for our Overnight charter, our full-day charter, and for our next tournament! If you don’t have a boat, but would like to fish our Bottom Fish Tournament, I already know a captain looking for a couple of anglers. So, get Ron to put you on the list to fish. If you do fish on somebody else’s boat, be sure to offer to help pay for gas, bait and/or wash the boat. Next, we need your help at Day at the Docks! Simply cutting squid, baiting hooks, managing kids to hookup, release the fish, “Next!” It’s that easy! Please sign up and get your free “Staff” Day at the Docks T-Shirt!! Please see insert for more information. I then encourage you to stop by the clothing table to see the latest and greatest of warm and cool wear, then check out the raffle table and buy some tickets, and then meet and greet with our like-minded fishermen! I encourage you to introduce yourself to somebody you’ve never met before and tell a fish story or two. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve been a member since 1997 … the camaraderie we have within this club is awesome!
