President’s Message for April 2025

April has finally graced us with its presence, bringing a welcome respite from the bustling tourist season. As the island breathes a collective sigh of relief, we reflect on the fantastic camaraderie and shared passion for fishing that our seasonal members brought to our meetings, picnics, and tournaments. March was a whirlwind of activity, kicking off with the phenomenal "Baiting Beauties 12". A huge thank you to Cathy Erickson and Peggy Allcot for orchestrating a truly memorable week. With 52 enthusiastic lady anglers, calm seas, and stunning weather, we witnessed an incredible display of skill and sportsmanship. A staggering 420 fish were tallied, including impressive Trout and Redfish!
