FROM THE BILGE
NEWS FLASH
We received a report that the 1st Marlin of the season was spotted by the jersey Devil on June 9th. Just below the 181 spot – "now" that we got your attention, do we have any bets which past Presidents picked the correct or closest date of the 1st Marlin to be taken.

DOCK SPACE
It’s that time of the year and our docks are seeing more and more member boats showing up.
We want everyone to have the opportunity to use our docks so a few simple rules need to be followed:

Call the club during business hours prior to bringing your boat down. Let us know when you plan to arrive se we can advise you of available space. **This is especially important on Holiday weekends and during tournaments.**


NEW TOURNAMENT

A month long Albacore tourney. A simple tournament with simple rules. Open to the any one with a fishing rod and ten bucks.

You can weigh in multiple fish, but only the biggest counts. Biggest fish wins a Shimano TLD 30 2-speed reel. The cost is only $10 per angler. SUCH A DEAL!

See enclosed flyer for more details or stop by the club and fill out an entry form.

CLUB HOUSE INFO

Come on down to the club – we now have two tables and some chairs that are left outside for your use. It’s a great place to sit and enjoy the scenery and share a fishing story.

The club is now open Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 2 - 6 pm.

We will be adjusting the club hours as the "fishing" dictates.

Remember to stop by and weigh your "nice ones" at the club – it’s a great spot to take some photos for your albums!

Many THANKS to ALL of our subscribers. We appreciate your support!!!

We ask a simple question

And that is all we wish;

Are fishermen all liars?

Or do only liars fish?
