A fair number of Sea Trailers like to fish. A proposal to begin a fishing club was presented in early November and residents expressed an interest in joining. A fishing club is a great way for like-minded anglers to get together to share fishing knowledge, learn from one another or perhaps introduce new anglers to the activity. I have been a member of fishing clubs in the past, learned a lot and developed lifelong friendships. Some club activities that are enjoyable are:
- Fishing expert guest speakers at meetings
- Annual fishing contest with year-end awards
- Raffles
- Annual dinner
- Group fishing trips aboard charter boats
- Joining other members aboard their boats
- Socializing and swapping fish stories at monthly meetings
- Youth fishing events
The Sea Trail Fishing Club could be simply an email group for anglers to arrange group fishing trips or a formal club with elected officers, by-laws and regular meetings. Due to COVID, an initial meeting will not be planned until a later date when the vaccine is widely distributed in our area.
