Fishing Club News – Oct 2018
On Oct 13th , the club hosted our yearly Clam Bake. There was a poor turnout, but the clams were great and everyone had a good time!
The big fish for September was a 17in bass caught by John Klein.
Our next meeting will be on Monday, November 12th at 7:30pm at the Clubhouse. This is the meeting that determines the direction of the club.
Questions to be asked and settled are:
Does the club want a bass tournament? A couples tournament? Do we want to help stock grass carp? Do we want to stock fat-head minnows? Do we want a fish fry? Do we want a clam bake?
Please come to the meeting to vote on these issues. If you’re not a member, please come and you can join for 2019.
