On May 30, 2015 the Lake Fork Anglers will be hosting a "Meet & Greet" for fishing folks interested in joining our club.
We fish every other Thursday daytime, weather permitting. We start in the morning at Oak Ridge Marina, SH 154 Quitman, TX with registration and about an hour later members may launch from any ramp on the lake to begin their 8 hours of fishing.
After 8 hours (or less depending on the weather and the team fishing) they must stop fishing and then have 30 minutes to get back to Oak Ridge for the "weighin".
We use that word lightly because what we actually do is catch the bass,, measure it's length, record that on a laminated sheet (each member has their own) and then release the fish on the spot sometimes after picture taking if it is a biggun.
When we get back to Oak Ridge our tournament director adds up the fish in pounds and the best five fish will count for each angler. We payout the top 3 and lunker. And a 1/10th goes to the club for expenses.
After the winners tell "the story" of with what, where and how it is sometimes a mad dash to the tackle shop to buy that winning bait.
So as you can see it is not about the money. It is about the enjoyment of spending the day on the water with fellow competitors but also about improving our techniques and spots. Our dues is $5 annually and tournaments are $12 paid out 5 ways.
Come on down on the 30th in the afternoon and enjoy some good food and fishing talk. See who we are and what we are about.
On May 30th at 4 PM we will be holding a meet and greet. Persons Interested in what we do and possibly joining are invited to attend.
