Skip Cast Meeting: How To Do It

Tuesday, October 10 we will meet at the clubhouse.

Want to have a discussion about skip casting.

Someone among us (I won’t tell on Bert) is an expert at that. Maybe he can help us.

I will have a couple of videos where they explain the technique but our unnamed member may also shed light on the issue.

David will bring Pizza for dinner. Bring your $10 to help the cost.

Also we will have our Stone Crab fishing tournament on Saturday, October 21, at Everglades City.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Mangrove Snapper – Clubhouse Meeting & Dinner – Aug 8

Tuesday evening August 8, 7:30, we will meet back at the clubhouse.

Captain Weston suggested we wait until September for a Dophin trip, and we agreed.

It will be cooler and there will be more mature dolphin at that time.

So August 12 for our outing we are going to go looking for Snapper.

The discussion will be what is the best location for catching Snapper?

Inshore Mangrove Snapper can be found just about anywhere there is structure. They get their name from their preference to live around mangrove shorelines early on in life, but these are some other places that they are frequently found:

Beach Piers
Inlets
Bridges and Docks
Rock Piles / Oyster Beds
Deep holes

Come a participate and share your experience and knowledge. We enjoy the input.

There will be Beef Bourguignon with egg noodles and green beans for dinner – $10.00

Lets start the ‘Back to School’ season with a fun social time.
