Fish Tales from Your President’s Perspective.
The year is almost over, but the fun continues for Escondido Senior Anglers. So many activities this month. Fishing and Camping at Santee Lakes, Fall Feast at Jimmy and Fariba’s, the Trout Derby, and the Annual Holiday Party, just to name a few. As a club, it’s always fun g
etting together with everyone, and November will be no exception. This month, though, will be a milestone for us. After so many years, it seems amazing that we will no longer be meeting at the Senior Center. This is sad in many ways but exciting in others. The great folks at the American Legion are preparing to host our first meeting in their Hall (just next door to the east of the Senior Center). We will have some adjusting to do but the facility should be great.
Julie and I have been enjoying our rewards from the Club’s trip to the Sierras and our ocean fishing. I tried a couple of new recipes for the trout and we loved them. We shared some of of the smoked trout with Ron and Carol Parker. Ron was so diplomatic, saying he really liked brined fish rather than dry rubbed. So, we have some more left that will be brined and smoked. The bottom fish is soooooo good with just some butter, garlic, lemon and spices of choice. We need to get out and get some more soon. We’re hoping for more trout from Santee Lakes.
Remember to sign up to work the Trout Derby and don’t forget to take some time to fish the derby too. We would love to see a SAE member on the Winner’s Board.
Speaking of Boards, our annual elections will be held at this month’s meeting. We still need candidates for President, Fresh Water VP and Community Events. Please let me know if you are interested.
I also want your ideas for next year’s camping trips and scheduling. As some of you have seen, we have our first trip of the year set for January 23 through January 28 at Yucaipa Regional Park. Let KT know if you want to join.
Last but not least, sign up for the Fall Feast later this month and for the Annual Banquet in December.
As I said, there is so much fun ahead. I am looking forward to seeing you at the meeting and participating in one or more of the special activities.
President
