The Club did not hold a regular Club meeting in February. 

32 people attended our Awards Banquet held on February 13th.  The Club paid for the 32 meals.  Beanie conducted a Chinese Auction and the profit went into the Club’s General Fund.  Thanks, Beanie!!

Bill and Donna Fox (American Heritage Morgans) and Pat and Bob Fox (Garden View Bed & Breakfast) pledged sponsor donations towards the cost of our 2010 Awards Banquet.  Thank you, Bill, Donna, Pat and Bob!!  Please note their ads on our web page.

I will report on the NYBCF meetings at our March Club meeting.  I was unable to attend the last meeting, Feb. 27th, due to the weather, but I did mail in the individual NYBCF dues that I had collected.  We now have 15 members that are also members of NYBCF for 2010.

Harry reports that all tournament permits have been obtained for our 2010 tournament schedule.  The dates of the Conesus Lake and Port Bay point tournaments had to be flip-flopped in order to obtain the necessary permits so please make note of this change on your schedules.  It looks like the Cayuga Lake point tournament will be going out of Union Springs so please plan accordingly.  I hope to have more on this by the March meeting.

At the March meeting I will be polling eligible Club members concerning attendance at the 2010 CTC.  The 2010 CTC will be held on Owasco Lake just south of Auburn, NY from August 19-August 22, 2010.  If you are eligible to fish on our 2010 State Team be prepared to answer yes or no on whether or not you will fish the event.  This includes alternates as well as team members. 

We will also make a decision concerning renewing our warranty on our scales at the March meeting.  I also have received some promotional literature from U. S. Reel that I will discuss at the March meeting.  They are offering a discount on there reels to our Club members. 

Our next regular Club meeting will be held on March 18th at 7pm at Jr. Wilson’s.  I’ll see everyone then.


Come on Spring!!






FEBRUARY 2010 NEWSLETTER


 

The last Club meeting was held on January 21st with 13 members present.  The Secretary/Treasurer reports were accepted as read.

32 people are signed up to attend the Annual Awards Banquet on February 13th at Jr. Wilson’s.  Cocktails begin at 5pm with dinner at 6pm.  The Banquet Fund of $400.00 will not cover the entire cost of the 32 meals. The membership voted to have the Club pay the difference.  Total cost to the Club will be $512.00.

The Club paid the annual rental fee to Jr. Wilson’s for use of the meeting/banquet room for 2010.  The Club received a donation from the Jr. Wilson’s Sportsman Club.  This donation was placed in the Club’s general fund.

12 individual members paid 2010 NYBCF dues for 2010.  The Club’s annual NYBCF dues and the 12 individual dues were paid to NYBCF on January 30th at the NYBCF meeting in Auburn.  Any member that has not yet paid 2010 NYBCF dues should get the $20.00 dues to me before February 27, 2010.  Remember, to be a member of our Club’s 6 Man State Team Club members must belong to NYBCF.

The 2010 NYBCF Club Team Championship (CTC) (6 Man Team Event) will be held on Owasco Lake just south of Auburn from August 19th through August 22nd.  I will be polling all eligible team members at the March meeting to determine if we have sufficient interest to send a team.  If you are eligible for the 2010 team please be prepared to give a definitive answer at the March meeting.  Finding lodging should not be a problem as there are many motels in Auburn, but the sooner we reserve rooms the better.  There is talk that the chicken bar-b-que that normally accompanies the registration meeting will be discontinued this year.

Tournament dates and launch sites are now posted on the web site.  Dates and launch sites are dependent upon permits being obtained where necessary.  Be advised that these dates and launch sites could be changed if necessary permits are not obtained. 

Due to the Awards Banquet being held on February 13th the Club will not hold a regular Club meeting in February.  I’ll see you at the Banquet.

JANUARY 2010 NEWSLETTER

 

 

The last Club meeting was held on December 19th at the Apollo Restaurant with 18 people present.  This meeting was the annual tournament meeting.  The Secretary/Treasurer reports were accepted as read.

 

The membership voted in a new member, Nick Mroz, prior to the start of the tournament meeting.  Welcome aboard, Nick!!

 

We had a productive tournament meeting with good discussion on a number of issues.  The membership decided to add a third open tournament for 2010.  This open tournament will held on the same weekend as the NY State Club Team Championship tournament, August 21, 2010.  Since no other club holds a tournament on that weekend, the membership felt it was a good time to hold a third open tournament.  Paul Passage will be in charge of running this tournament.  The exact location of the tournament will be announced later. 

 

There were 3 other changes that the membership voted on, but only 1 of these changes was passed.  The approved change was the addition of an annual trophy for the Top Non-Boater of the Year.  The Top Non-Boater of the Year will be determined by the final Angler of the Year Point Standings and the winner must have fished all point tournaments as a non-boater. 

 

A copy of the results of the 2010 Tournament Meeting was e-mailed to the membership so I won’t go into any further details here.  I am very excited about the 2010 Tournament schedule and the waters selected.  Changes in waters have occurred and those changes will no doubt directly affect the final point standings for 2010.  It is going to be a very interesting tournament season with everyone forced to fish some unfamiliar waters.  I expect to see some changes in the standings.  I will post the exact dates and launch locations once Harry has finalized the 2010 schedule.

 

Presently, our 2010 membership stands at 20 members.  So far, 2 members have decided to not renew their memberships for 2010.  I am still waiting to hear form Wally and Scott Brown.  I am always sad to see members drop out of the Club, but I will always remain hopeful that they will return at some time in the future.

 

At our next Club meeting I will be collecting 2010 NYBCF dues from those members that want to join.  The cost is $20.00.  All members of our Club’s 6 Man State Team must be members of NYBCF.  Also, NYBCF offers some huge discounts on boats, motors, trolling motors, GPS’, depth finders, etc to its members.  The savings available here more than offset the cost of annual dues.  I will pay the Club’s 2010 NYBCF dues and the dues of any individuals that join at the next NYBCF meeting, January 30th in Auburn.

 

Many of you have placed your meal orders for our 2009 Awards Banquet, but there are still several I haven’t heard from.  I need your orders by the next meeting.  If you do not plan to attend the banquet, I also need to know that as well, so please contact me if you haven’t all ready done so.  The Banquet is Saturday, February 13th at Jr. Wilson’s.  Meal choices are 16oz Porterhouse Steak or Stuffed Chicken Breast.  Cocktails start at 5pm with dinner at 6pm or as soon as the steaks come off the grill.  Remember the steaks won’t go on the grill until I know how you want them cooked, so get there early enough for me to take your order and get the steaks grilled by 6pm.  The Club has $400.00 to put towards the cost of the Banquet.  I won’t know the cost until I get all the meal orders, but I expect the cost may exceed $400.00.  We will discuss how to handle any cost overrun at our next meeting.  Remember, due to the Awards Banquet, we will not hold a regular Club meeting during the month of February.

 

Our next regular Club meeting will be held on Thursday, January 21st at Jr. Wilson’s at 7pm.  I hope to see all of you then.

DECEMBER 2009 NEWSLETTER



 

     The last regular Club meeting was held on November 19th with 8 members and 1 guest present.  The Secretary/Treasurer reports were accepted as read.

 

     Election of Officers for 2010 was held with the following results:  President: Em Seefeldt; Vice President: Paul Passage; and Secretary/Treasurer: Beanie Leuer.  I will again be asking Harry to accept the position of Tournament Director for 2010 and I would like to see the same guys on the tournament Committee, Paul, Ernie and Dave.  I would also like to add Dan to the Committee since he helped out so much last year.  Might as well make it official Dan!!

 

     Our regular December Club meeting will NOT be held on Thursday, December 17th at Jr. Wilson’s. The December meeting will be our 2010 Tournament Meeting and will be held on Saturday, December 19th at the Apollo Restaurant on Route 31 in Albion.  Meeting hours are 10am till 2pm.  This is the same location that we used for our Tournament meeting last year and, just like last year, please plan on enjoying breakfast, brunch or lunch at the meeting.  However, unless someone again hits the Lotto big time this year like Bill Wilson did last year, figure on paying for you own meal.  Please give some thought to any changes that you would like to see made concerning tournaments.  It is the policy of the Club that any and all tournament decisions are made at this meeting and at this meeting only.  Since it is perhaps our most important meeting of the year, I would strongly encourage all members to attend.

 

     I have made arrangements for our 2009 Awards Banquet to be held on Saturday, February 13, 2009 at Jr. Wilson’s.  We will have the same caterer that we had the past couple of years.  Menu choices and prices will be the same as last year: 16oz Porterhouse Steak, $17.00 or Stuffed Chicken Breast, $13.00.  Cocktail hour will begin at 5pm with dinner at 6pm or as soon as the steaks are done.  I will do what I can to keep the cost within our Banquet Fund amount, but actual attendance at the Banquet will ultimately determine the final cost.  You can give me you meal orders and the number attending beginning at the Tournament meeting.  No money will be collected from members at this time.  If total cost runs over our allotted Banquet Fund amount, individual members may have to pony up a few bucks for each meal they ordered.  Again, I won’t know that until I have a final count on the number planning on attending the Banquet.  I can’t foresee that it would cost anyone more than $5.00 per dinner.

 

     I mailed our scales back to the manufacturer.  According to the manufacturer, the tare function had been burned out when someone apparently hooked the scales up to the battery backwards.  The manufacturer repaired the scales at no cost to us, but warned that in the future this mistake would cost around $80.00 to repair since it is not normally covered under warranty.  The manufacturer also installed a resistor to help prevent this type of damage in the future.  I have since received the scales back from the manufacturer.  We should be all set to go next year.  We will just have to make sure we don’t hook the scales up to the battery backwards!!

 

     I will be attending a meeting of NYBCF in Auburn on Saturday, December 5th.  If anyone who is a member of NYBCF has any issue that they want me to address at this meeting, please let me know before December 5th.  I will be collecting 2010 dues for NYBCF during December and early January.  Anyone that wants to be a member must pay their dues through me.  The cost is $20.00.  Remember, anyone on our Club’s 6 Man State Team must be a member of NYBCF to be on the team.  This applies to all alternates as well..

 

     Anyone that hasn’t yet paid their 2010 Club dues should do so at the December Tournament meeting.  The Club has to pay each member’s National Bass Federation Nation dues before December 31, 2009 to keep the Club’s insurance intact.  Individual renewals are $55.00 and Family renewals are $60.00.

 

     I talked with the folks at the Buffalo Small Boat Harbor and Saturday, June 5, 2010 has been reserved for our Annual Lake Erie Team Open tournament.

 

     Don’t forget our next meeting is on Saturday, December 19th at the Apollo Restaurant in Albion from 10am till 2pm.  This is our 2010 Tournament meeting so please plan on attending.  Happy Holidays to you and yours and I’ll see on the 19th.  Be sure to bring your appetite!!



Happy Holidays!!!!

     The last regular Club meeting was held on October 15th with 11 members and 1 guest present.  The meeting was conducted by Vice President Paul Passage.  The Secretary/Treasurer reports were accepted as read.

 

     All members were reminded that 2010 Club dues must be paid no later than the December 17th Club meeting.  Individual dues are $55.00 and Family dues are $60.00.

 

     The Club had 20 boats enter the 2009 Conesus Open tournament.  The Club made $240.00 for its 6 Man State Team Fund.  Thanks to Paul and everyone else that helped make this event a success.  Full results are posted on our web site.

 

     We will be sending our Club scales back to the manufacturer for repair.  The scales appear to be weighing properly but do not tare the way they are supposed to.  The scales are under warranty until April 2010 so our only cost should be for shipping. 

 

     A general discussion was held concerning the great job that Harry and the Tournament Committee (Paul, Ernie and Dave) did at our 2009 tournaments.  It was clear that having an active Tournament Committee makes the weigh-in process much more efficient and productive.  Thanks to Harry and his Committee for a job well done!!

 

     A general discussion was held concerning possible changes to tournament rules and regulations.  These discussions will continue to be held, but any, and all, changes to tournament rules and regulations will only occur at our Annual Tournament meeting.

 

     The membership voted to again hold the 2009 Awards Banquet at Jr. Wilson’s.  I will begin work on finalizing all the details.  I will try to get a date in February.  I’ll post exact details when they are finalized.

 

     The membership decided to again hold our Annual Tournament meeting at the Apollo Restaurant in Albion.  Paul will make the arrangements and I’ll post the exact date and time once final arrangements are made.  We will try to have this meeting some time in December. 

 

     Election of officers for 2010 will take place at our November meeting.  At the October meeting Em was nominated for President and Paul was nominated for Vice President.  We still need someone for Secretary/ Treasurer.  Nominations will again be open prior to elections at our November meeting.  We need someone to step forward and agree to accept the position of Secretary/Treasurer. 

 

     I am well on my way to a full and complete recovery from my recent surgeries.  I plan on being present at our November meeting.  I would like to thank all of you for your visits, cards and e-mails.  Your support during my recovery was greatly appreciated.  I truly appreciate everyone’s concerns.  Thanks, guys!!

 

     Our next regular Club meeting is Thursday, November 19th at 7pm at Jr. Wilson’s.  Election of officers for 2010 will take place at this meeting.  Also do not forget to pay your 2010 Club dues no later than our December 17th meeting.  Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

See you at the meeting!!

OCTOBER 2009 NEWSLETTER

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Our last Club meeting was held on September 17th with 10 members present.  The Secretary/Treasurer Reports were accepted as read.

 

     Congratulations were extended to:  2009 Angler of the Year:  Beanie Leuer;  2009 Lunker of the Year: Wally Brown;  2009 Classic Qualifiers: Beanie Leuer, Wally Brown, Ernie Brabon, Em Seefeldt, Bill Fox, Paul Passage, Harry Stringfellow, Skip Moule, Scott Kahabka, and Dan Heschke;  2009 State Team Members: Boaters: Beanie, Wally, Ernie;  Non-Boaters: Em, Bill Fox, Harry; and Alternates: Scott K., Dan, Ray Meller, Bob Fox, Dave Heschke, Bill Wilson, Butch Clark and Joe Bennett. 

 

     The 2009 State Team reported on their experiences at the 2009 CTC that was held on Oneida Lake.  The Club team finished 13th out of 28 teams entered.  Although the team did not fish as well as they would have liked to, everyone had a memorable experience.  On behalf of the Club, I wish to thank the team members for their efforts.  Our Club was well represented.

 

     Recently our Club scales have not been taring as they should.  The scales appear to be accurately recording weights, they just don’t tare the way they should.  The membership decided to return the scales to the manufacturer for repair at the completion of our 2009 tournament season.  The scales are under warranty until the spring of 2010 so the Club’s only cost should be for shipping.

 

     2010 Club Dues are now payable.  Individual renewals are $55.00 and Family renewals are $60.00.  2010 dues must be paid no later than our December meeting as we must pay National BASS Federation Nation dues by December 31, 2009 to maintain our Club’s liability insurance.  Club dues were increased $10.00 per year to offset the $10.00 per year increase in National BASS Federation Nation dues.  Please make arrangements to renew your dues no later than our December 19th Club meeting.  Thank you.

 

     The 2009 Classic Championship Tournament was held on the Lower Oak Orchard River on Saturday, September 26th.  9 of the 10 qualifiers fished the event.  I was fortunate enough to win the tournament with a mixed bag of 5 bass weighing 17# 07.  I also had the largest single bass, a smallmouth weighing 4# 03.  Harry took 2nd with 5 bass weighing 9# 06.  This was my 6th Club Classic victory and my 23rd Club tournament victory.  Full tournament results are posted on our web site.

 

     Vice President Paul Passage will be running the October Club meeting.  I am having total hip replacement surgery on October 12th and will not be able to attend the meeting.  Nomination of officers for 2010 will take place at the October meeting.  I will serve again as your President if no one else is interested and the membership so desires.  I would be honored to serve again with the present officers provided they are interested and no one else wants to run.  I would strongly encourage anyone that is interested to run for Club office.  There is always a need for new blood and fresh insights.

 

     I was extremely pleased with the re-instatement of the Tournament Committee this year and the job that those guys did.  As always, Harry was outstanding as our Tournament Director and I would certainly like to have him back next year.  Thank you to Harry, Paul, Ernie and Dave.  You guys did an outstanding job!!!  Also thanks to anyone else that jumped in and helped out throughout the tournament season.  Your help was greatly appreciated!!  That is a part of what makes this Club what it is.  Thank you!!

 

     Our last Club tournament of 2009 is our Conesus Open on Saturday, October 10th at the State launch.  Tournament hours are 7am (or safe light) till 3pm.  Registration will take place at the State Launch the morning of the tournament between the hours of 5:45am and 6:30am.  Full details are posted on our web site.  I have been informed that East Lake Road will be closed north of the State Launch on the day of our tournament.  Please allow sufficient travel time to account for any detour you will have to take.  Looking at a map, perhaps the easiest detour is to take West Lake Road South to Sliker Hill Road; Turn left onto Sliker Hill Road and proceed to East Lake Road North; Turn left onto East Lake Road North and then proceed to the State Launch.  Full tournament details are posted on our web site.

 

     Our next regular Club meeting will be held on Thursday, October 15th at 7pm at Jr. Wilson’s.  Paul will run this meeting as I may still be hospitalized.  Nomination of officers for 2010 will be held.  Also don’t forget to renew your dues for 2010 and please do it no later than the December Club meeting.    

 

It was a great 2009 tournament season!!   Thanks everybody!!

     There was no regular Club meeting in August due to the 2009 CTC.  I don’t know exactly where our team finished as the final results have not yet been posted.  Hopefully I will know by the time of our next meeting and I’ll also ask the 2009 team members to report on their experiences at the event.

 

     By unanimous consent of the membership, the tournament scheduled for the Lower Oak Orchard River was moved to Canandaigua Lake.  The move was made necessary due to a conflict with the annual Harbor Fest/Antique Boat Show and Regatta.  Skip won his 8th Club tournament on Canandaigua with a limit catch weighing 13# 04.  Bob took second place with 12# 15 and Al finished third with 9# 06.  Bob also had the tournament lunker, a largemouth of 4# 10.

 

     Ernie won his 8th Club tournament on Conesus Lake with 5 bass weighing 15# 10.  Skip continued his strong fishing by finishing second with 14# 01 and Beanie took third place with 12# 03.  Skip also had the tournament lunker, a largemouth weighing 4# 06.

 

     Ernie took over the lead in the 2009 Angler of the Year point standings after Canandaigua and strengthened his lead after the tournament at Conesus.  However, after drops are figured in, the point standings are very close and the Lower Niagara River is where it will all be finalized.  Ernie and I are presently tied for Lunker of the Year with identical largemouths of 4# 11.  The Lower Niagara will be the last chance for anyone to beat that weight and it wouldn’t surprise me if that happens.  It will be an exciting end to an all ready exciting tournament season and I can’t wait to see the final results.

 

     At our next Club meeting we will discuss the Club’s finances.  As it stands right now we do not have sufficient funds in our checking account to cover the cost of annual awards.  We do have money in our savings account and may have to use some of that to pay for our 2009 awards. 

 

     All tournament results and the 2009 angler of the Year point standings are posted on our web site.  Our next tournament is on the Lower Niagara River on Saturday, September 12.  Remember tournament hours change at this event.  The start time remains the same, safe light, but weigh-in time changes from 2pm to 3pm.  After this tournament we will know who the 2009 Angler of the Year is as well as the Top 10 Classic qualifiers and the Top 6 State Team members for 2010.  Everything will be resolved after this tournament is over.  You really don’t want to miss this one.  It is going to be a beauty!!!

 

     The Classic Championship Tournament will be held on Saturday, September 26th on the Lower Oak Orchard River.  Only the Top 10 finishers in the 2009 Angler of the Year point standings will be eligible to attend.  There are no substitutions allowed.  Qualifiers will be unofficially announced as soon as possible after the Lower Niagara weigh-in.  With so many members in the running it will take a while to get it right, but we will get it done.

 

     Our next regular Club meeting will be held on Thursday, September 17th at 7pm at Jr. Wilson’s.  At that meeting I will announce the official results for the year including the 2009 angler of the Year, the Top Ten Classic qualifiers and the members of our 2010 6 Man State Team.  It has been a great tournament year and it will conclude with one of the most pressure packed final point tournaments that I can ever recall.  You have got to love it!!  See you at the Lower Niagara and at the next meeting.

 

Let the games conclude!!

AUGUST 2009 NEWSLETTER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last club meeting was held on July 16th with 11 members present.

 

There were no Secretary/Treasurer reports due to the absence of the Secretary/Treasurer.

     The Club membership approved the following expenditures for the 2009 Club 6 Man State Team:  $360.00 team entry fee; $60.00 for 6 chicken bar-b-que dinners for the team members; and $100.00 in expense money for each of the 6 members of the team.  Total expenses approved were $1020.00 and will be deducted from the Club’s 6 Man State Team Fund.  I mailed our team’s entry form and fees to NYBCF a couple of days after our last meeting.  NYBCF has confirmed receipt and our team is all set to go.  The last I knew there were 22 teams signed up so far.  Just a reminder to those State team members taking their boat to the tournament, you must have a copy of your boat insurance in your boat.


    
Motel reservations were made and have been confirmed for our 6 Man Team at the Parish Motel, 2675 Rt. 69, Parish, NY.  3 rooms have been reserved for 3 nights (August 20, 21 and 22) at a cost of $80.00 per room per night.  The price includes all taxes, etc.  The phone number for the motel is 315-625-7100.  The motel is located about 13 miles North of Oneida Shores and is almost immediately off of Rt. 81 to the East.  I’m told that travel time between the lake and motel should be around 20 minutes. 


    
The Club membership also voted in one new Club member: Scott Brown from North Tonawanda.  Scott is the son of long time Club member Wally Brown.  Scott has joined B.A.S.S. and his National BASS Federation Nation dues were mailed to BASS last week.


    
The Port Bay tournament was held on July 25th and I am happy to report that it was a lot less eventful (no floating trucks, malfunctioning trolling motors, failed trailer bearings, etc.) than the tournament at Silver Lake.  Beanie and I tied for total weight with 14# 8 each.  I won the tournament based on my 4# 11 lunker.  Bean’s lunker weighed 3# 11 so he finished second and Harry took third with 12# 11.  My 4# 11 was also the tournament lunker.  Full tournament results are posted on our web site.


    
Paul continues to lead the 2009 Angler of the Year point standings before any drops.  Ernie and I are presently tied for Lunker of the Year.  I had made a few mistakes on the point standings but I believe that I have since corrected them all.  The point standings now posted on the web site are accurate to the best of my knowledge.  I am determined that every member will get full credit for every ounce they catch, but not an ounce more.  If anyone has questions, contact me ASAP!


    
Because 6 members will be out of town for the 2009 CTC on our next regularly scheduled meeting night, we will not hold a regular Club meeting in August. 


    
Our next point tournament is August 15th on the lower Oak Orchard River out of the state launch.  We will follow that up with a tournament at Conesus out of the state launch on August 29th.  Hours for both of these tournaments are safe light till 2pm.  Our last point tournament is September 12th on the Lower Niagara out of the Fort Niagara launch.  Hours for this tournament will be safe light till 3pm. 


    
Our next regular Club meeting will be held on September 17th at 7pm at Jr. Wilson’s.  I’ll see everyone at the lower Oak Orchard.  Don’t forget, there will be NO regular Club meeting this month.  On behalf of the entire Club I want to wish the best of luck to our State Team members, GO TEAM!!

 

Let the games continue!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 



JULY 2009 NEWSLETTER

 

 

     The last regular Club meeting was held on June 18th with 14 members present.  The Secretary/Treasurer reports were accepted as read.

 

     The membership briefly discussed the cost of obtaining our own Club liability insurance versus simply remaining affiliated with BASS.  We will continue to discuss this issue until the membership decides which way it wants to go.

 

     The membership voted in a new Club member: Bill Wittman from Albion.  Bill was a member of our Club years ago and has decided to come on aboard again.  Bill is also a member of the Rochester Bassmasters and he is an accomplished tournament angler.  Welcome back, Bill!!  Our membership total now stands at 22 members.  We still have plenty of room for more members so don’t hesitate to bring any interested parties to one of our Club meetings.  There is a possibility of 2 more potential new members attending the July meeting.

 

     The Sodus Bay Tournament was held on June 20th.  I ended up winning with 15# 04.  Scott K was second with 12# 01 and Ernie B was third with 11# 13.  Ernie also had the lunker of the day, a largemouth of 4# 11.  Full tournament results are posted on our web site.

 

     The 2009 Angler of the Year point standings are also posted on our web site.  The standings are identical to the Sodus tournament results but will change after the Silver Lake tournament. 

 

     The Annual Family Fishing Contest was held on June 27th with 38 contestants.  It was a decent turnout considering a number of conflicting events were also taking place.  Thanks to Joe, Michelle, Paul, and Ernie for helping out at this event.  Also thanks to Bill F for bringing his grand daughter.  I wish all of you could have seen the smile on her face when she received her new fishing rod.  Thanks also to Jr. Wilson’s, the Oak Orchard River Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, Tops Market, and Orion Power Corporation.  Our Club can be proud of our involvement in this event.

 

     Our next tournament is July 11th on Silver Lake.  Hours are safe light until 2pm.  Tournament site is the State Launch. 

 

     Our next regular Club meeting is Thursday, July 16th at 7pm at Jr. Wilson’s.  I’ll see everyone at Silver Lake and at the meeting.
