Three Great Outings In May
This month we offer 3 excellent outings -- our annual Lott/Adams outing Sat. May 9, and gourmet lunch on the St. Johns. We usually get half the club or more together to fish the great fishery, then chow down and talk, relax, cast, fish, whatever. Please email annlott@aug.com to let her know you're coming. We need a head count for food. Maybe bring a dish, too.
Next, come wade with vereran angler Don Edlin for ladyfish, blues, jacks, reds, maybe even pompano. These are some really great fishing days, Sat., May 23 and May 30. No boat required, but boats and kayaks can reach these areas. Sign up at the meeting or email David Lambert, outings guy, smartcasts@gmail.com
