Fish Tales from Your President’s Perspective.
The weather outside is frightful. Wait, what am I talking about? Its absolutely gorgeous right now. The sun is shining the birds are singing and the fish are biting. That’s right the fish are biting. Okay, maybe not just jumping in our laps but they are there.
We had our December Trout Challenge at Lake Wolford and two of our club members limited out within 2 hours. The rest of us fought hard for our fish, and I stayed a little late and ended up with 3 fine fish. During the event the State Fish and Game gave a surprise plant and one of my fish was from that plant. Oh yes, as for weather, it was freezing cold all morning and the sun came out about 11:00 and warmed us up just in time to quit. Overall, it was a fun time commiserating with those of us on the shore and enjoying each other’s company. The schedule is set for the next few challenges. The dates and details will be in the Freshwater section.
Saltwater action is holding its own with ½ day boats getting good counts on whitefish and rock fish. Has any of our group gotten any of the huge Lobsters being taken this year? I’m finishing off my last batch of filets from our last trip, need to resupply – sounds like fun.
Our year is starting off with lots of activity as you can tell. The first campout is in a couple of weeks at Puddingstone Lake. See the events listed in the newsletter. Our favorite bake sale is coming back so be ready for the February meeting, lots of good items will be for sale so bring your cash.
Exciting, isn’t it? Join us on January 13 for a look back on 2022 and a look forward to 2023. I hope you enjoyed your holidays and look forward to seeing you all soon.
