Fishing club

[logs22]

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;-)

More clubs ? There are at least 12 Trout Unlimited clubs in NJ, then you have the Round Valley Trout Assoc., Knee Deep Club, Muskies Inc. just to name a few. Then all the B.A.S.S. clubs in NJ. Then all the outdoors clubs, kayak clubs, boating clubs, etc. BUT an NJF is still a good idea.

I have no idea how I'd fit MORE of you whack job fishing fanatics into my life! About the club and possible meet ups... Can we do them at midnight? That works best for me hahaha... Jk.

The reality is, I've met some pretty good people in the last 5 yrs through this site--some of which I speak with numerous times a week. I'm all for a club of sorts. Nothing overly official. Save that for the ice fishing contest when the smack talking and alcohol induced measurement tirades spew from our pie holes! Lol.

Are we going to elect a president, vice president, treasurer ? Have monthly dues ? Publish a monthly newsletter ?
