We're always looking for new folks with fresh ideas. This is important in these always changing times. This is a great opportunity to have a positive impact on our community while making new friends and talk fishing. Also, is stress relief from cabin fever in the coming winter months .

To answer some peoples interest in the club and the requirements for being a member, Ill be happy to share.

Its not a huge time commitment at all. We have our meetings once a month...the 2nd week of the month. It had traditionally been the 2nd Friday of each month but due to Covid that changed somewhat. We have had Wednesday evenings as well as Friday evenings during the season now. We have had the need to be flexible with location and timing.

Our Annual Fluke tournament is our biggest event of the calendar year for us. It was cancelled this year due to Covid but we are hopeful that next year we will continue our tradition. Splitting the work among our membership is the biggest advantage. Our Capt's meeting and the Weigh Stations are the largest time commitments we have.

Dues are minimal and go towards operating expenses & an end of year dinner we like to hold for members, their spouses or significant others and guests.

As the club grows again, our goals are to hold other events and take fishing trips as a club. A majority of us own our own boats but as stated its not necessary to be a member. Simply the enjoyment and love of fishing is all thats required.

I've been a member of this club for over 20 years and enjoy the comradery of all the members, there is a lot of fishing knowledge sitting at these meetings and all are willing to share.. We run the largest Fluke tournament in the area and do a lot of charity work through donations, which always feels good to help others. Come and sit in on a meeting and get involved I guarantee you'll learn something and have a few laughs. For information on the club call me at 732-787-4008 leave a message and I'll get back to you.
