Fish Tales from Your President’s Perspective.
“Summertime and the livin’ is easy. Fish are jumping, and the cotton is high.”
How true that is today compared to when the song was written. Those of us who went to Lake Cuyamaca can attest to both. You will be amazed when you see the fish count for that trip.
In addition, we have multiple members going to various fishing outings, many of which are going to Mexico, including me. Julie and I, my daughter, and two of my grandkids are heading deep down south in Mexico. We have a charter scheduled, weather permitting, that is. It will be targeting new species for us and the kids. Yes, it’s true; everyone knows that Julie is a master fisherwoman, but my daughter isn’t far behind. I remember one trip where the two of them caught fish so fast that I never had a chance to get my line wet. Don’t worry; my daughter is only turning 40 and is not eligible to join the club yet.
All this brings me around to the point of this letter. Family!
It’s time for all of us to start looking to our families for new members. Most of us have kids, nephews, and nieces, and those kids, by association, are around 50 or older. When was the last time you fished or camped or had a good old picnic with them? Now is the time to start recruiting them, have them join in on the club’s festivities, and get them to join. Our events will be that much better with them on board. Also, remember your brothers and sisters and cousins and …………. You get the picture.
This club has survived the pandemic. Now, it’s time to Thrive in 2025. I am sorry that I can’t be with you at this month’s meeting. You have a great speaker coming, and you will be led by a great team of board members, past and present. It should be most memorable.
Your President
