April 2023 Newsletter I recently fished with our Web Master Jim Shaffer on March 25th and had a great time. There’s a video on our Facebook page, and Jim has it on his YouTube channel. We caught Sand Bass, Calico Bass, Rockfish (all released), and Jim released a very nice Ling Cod! In the beginning of the video, you will see me ordering my fishing license! Since it’s now a 12- month license, I dragged it out as long as possible!! I am excited to have Chad Gierlich from Hookup Baits (HUBs) be our speaker on April 6th! Chad always puts on a great presentation, from the gear he uses, to HUB selection, strategies, and techniques. Chad puts in a lot of time on the water and has mastered the use of his products. Do NOT be fooled by the imitation products on the market. From day one, Chad has put a lot of R&D (Research and Development) into his lures in order to perfect the best fishing solution. HUB’s will also be our Inshore Fishing Tournament Sponsor, giving away a free pack of HUB’s to each person who signs up for the tournament. You do NOT want to miss this meeting! As a result of our fundraising event at the Bart Hall Show, I am pleased to announce our first 2023 Kids Fishing Trip!! We will be fishing the Daily Double on June 4th. It is amazing how difficult it has been to find an organization that will accept our gift, especially when I know the children within the organization would benefit so much from an opportunity to enjoy a day out on the water, catching fish. By the time of our meeting, we will have an organization reserved to take fishing.
