Four boats showed up on time at the launch. Three of the four boats had three occupants, and the other one had two. Patrick showed up in his boat around 10:30. In boat one there was Rodney and his friend Andy. In boat two there was Henry, Angie, and Karl. Henry managed to catch a nice 1.5lb small mouth. In boat three, there was Larry, Daryl, and Jose. They caught 8 perch, two big cut throat trout, a sculpin, and Daryl caught a smallmouth. In my boat, there was Alex, Christy and me.Christy caught a 1.2 lb smallmouth, and a big ol' trout; and I caught two small mouths, weighing 3lb 3oz, and 1lb 12 oz. I also caught a 4 lb northern pikeminnow. I hope it can find peace in the afterlife. Finally, there was Patrick who went out solo, and landed two smallies. One weighing 3lb 6 oz, for big fish, and the other weighing in at 2lb 4 oz. All in all it was a good fish in, most anglers caught fish, and everone seemed to enjoy thier Fat Burgers.
On another note, I had to turn away the guests this time to make room for the club members. It's something I didn't want to do, but had to in order to make this event possible. If we want the club to gain more members from the fish ins, we will need more participation from boaters. Remember the fish ins are a good place for new prospective members to "test the waters" of the club. If they can't do that, they might not join.
Thanx to all who attended Especially the boaters this time
