I really like the idea, the club could have regularly scheduled 'meetings' (i.e. fishing/drinking meetings) and rotate the location among different lakes/rivers to account for how spread out the 'membership' is likely to be distributed across the state. I know njfishing has occasional informal meet and greets but they are few and far between. With a regular meeting schedule it would be easier for everyone to plan around and if you couldnt make it one month no big deal there will be another the next month. The meetings could incorporate informal 'tournaments' where those interested chip into a pot at beginning of the 'meeting' and the biggest fish caught takes that months pot.

I am a lawyer myself and can't imagine any sort of liability issues so long as things are kept informal. I also will offer my professional services pro bono to defend the njfishing social club against any frivolous lawsuits;-)
