ON THE WATER FOR JUNE     (2008)

 

MAY >><< Turned out to be one of those really successful & rewarding times >>>>>> Dean Fleck & Mike Pettis did us proud with another great Annual Yaquina Bay Commercial Boat Tour followed by our terrific Aquatic Angler Graduation of 15 students, that comprised our Class of 2008. Then we worked with our CCFF Waldport Friends & enjoyed another successful Annual First Baptist Church Kids Fishing Derby at Eckman Lake. Then it was on to our fun local LVH Community 2nd Time Around Sale & would you believe, that through the hard work & generosity of our Club Members & Friends of our Club we realized a profit of $ 543.05 !!!   Boys Howdy, don’t you wonder where that “Nickel” came from, be that as it may, we Thank You All & our Coffee Fund will remain solvent for another year.

 

I am pleased to report that we had 2 New Members join our ranks >> WELCOME << Roger Wilson & Lee Fries. These fellows really know their P’s & Q’s when it comes to Fish’in !!!  Welcome again guys …. We a very glad to have you with us. By the way >>>>> Think Good Thoughts for our Fish’in Club Pal Hank Bryson >><< Hank is Banging Around somewhere off the Mouth of the Columbia River …. Good Fishing & Smooth Seas !!!!

 

Now, on a more serious note >><< Our Good Friend “Coach (aka Rod) McCready” is really having a difficult time of it. Please continue to keep The Coach & Lee Anne on your Angel List……….. 

 

Let’s take a look at what JUNE has to offer >>>>>>>>> WELL, if you look at our June Meeting & Event Schedule, it won’t take you long to see that we are going to be “Busy Ducks/Beavers” this month ……… So I will direct your attention to the June Schedule of Events for all of the finer details….………

 

Let me take a moment, to recognize 2 really Great Guys who have been “Toiling Hard in the Vineyard” >>&<< They are >> Mike Rosicia for all of his Big Creek Litter Patrolling & Electric Bill for keeping our, 1 day a week, Siletz Trapping Schedule alive & well …. I also want to again Thank the Dudley’s for allowing us to use their drive way, which contributed greatly to the success we enjoyed with this years 2nd Time Around Sale.

 

Clearly this month, we will be focused on helping, our fellow member & friend, Brian Hudson & his Mid Coast Northwest Steelheaders Chapter, conduct another successful Annual Newport Big Creek Kids Fishing Day on Saturday, the 7th of June 2008. I would also like to inform you, that Frank Stout has agreed to be Brian’s New Chapter Treasurer …. Congrats Frank & Good on You Brian !!! 

 

You might also want to consider joining us for the Rip Roaring Valsetz Road Adventure scheduled for the 22nd …. This should really be a fun expedition back into “Them Thar Hills” ……… Did I mention, that I am going Fishing at Olalla Lake tomorrow (the 31st ) with my CCFF Colleagues >><< This will be my “Maiden Voyage” On the Water with my New Float Boat >< Wish me Luck & I’ll let you know how it turns out ……..

 

In closing, let me leave you with this thought, “A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour” !!!!

 

Well, that’s the Top of the News as it looks from here, Hope to see you On the Water …………… THE HOOK
