With reports of hard water (ICE) still exceeding 24" in some places, its easy to understand why some folks aren't thinking of our first tournaments of the 2014 season yet. However, we need to keep in mind that our first outing this year takes us to the southern part of Illinois, and is only a few weeks away. To help us get prepared for the first few outings of the new year, we have put together a terrific meeting schedule of activities, speakers and presentations for the February, March and April Meetings.
At our FEBRUARY 24th Meeting, Mike Wollenberg has agreed to speak to us about fishing the Illinois River. Mike has been fishing the Illinois for years both with our group and in other open tournaments. He is an terrific fisherman and a tough stick to beat on what has to be considered one of his most favored 'home waters'. Also, anyone who has maps of the Illinois River should bring them, it will be a great chance to swap hot spots, and discuss whats worked when and where with other members of the club. Amendments and to the club charter will be discussed, and changes to the tournament rules will be covered with the club. Please remember, changes to the tournament rules are not voted on by the membership. Club rules will be voted on in March. We will also hold a raffle for a few prizes, and a 50/50 pot with 50% going to the club. Tickets will be $1 each / 7 for $5 / 15 for $10.
Our March 25th Meeting will be the last meeting before our first tournament. We will be voting on club rule changes, and our tournament director will be covering last minute updates and changes to our first two scheduled events for the year. Our guest speaker will be Chris Taurisano. Chris is the owner of T-Bone Guide Service at tboneguideservice.com and spoke to us last year. Chris is an accomplished fishermen, and will bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and know-how to the club. He is open to all questions, and holds nothin back. Don't miss this meeting!!!!
We are a Catch and Live Release, fun driven, multi-species club, that promotes and helps each other learn to fish for a wide variety of species.
