Spring at last, Spring at last…. I am overjoyed that the winter is over and spring has finally sprung. It’s still a bit chilly some mornings but I can get by that just fine. I haven’t been out a whole lot lately but I know the fish are out there somewhere. They’re a little hard to find sometimes but I am still getting a few. I also get to try all the new “toys” I’ve accumulated over the winter.Spring is also a time of renewal and a good time to renew commitments to our club. The club still needs some help on several committees and activities. If you want to be entertained, then buy a movie ticket. If you want a club that is dynamic, informative and productive, then join in the fun. Most activities take little effort so helping in more than one is no problem since they are spread out through the year.Speaking of fun activities, if you missed this year’s Freedom Alliance event you missed a good time. Everyone I know of caught some fish and our veterans had a great time. See Mike’s summary elsewhere in this issue. I was helping with Rudy Fry and our vets caught fish both days with the second day topped off with a plump 34” caught on a small pistol-grip bass rod. That was a riot with the line tangled under the boat, another line snagged on the bottom and two other board lines and a down line to clear. Real chaos. 

See you out on the water - Joel
