Time: 6:30 PM, doors open; meeting begins at 7 PM. Location: John R Williams High School, 2450 Meadow Ave. Stockton
The program: Al Smatsky — Fly Fishing the Salt Al’s back from Baja California with lots of new tales to tell (over 40 Dorado to the boat this year) and that’s exactly what he’s doing at the next general membership meeting when he covers, “Fishing the Salt,” a review of fishing salt water on both sides of Central America, from Belize to Baja, from permit to dorado. He has over 30 years of experience fishing in the tropics, starting in the early 90s. He’ll cover everything from costs to equipment in this travelogue adventure so come prepared to sniff some salt, cervezas and margaritas as well as enjoy some exotic cuisine, even if, “just pretend.” The show starts at 7:00 at the John R, Williams School, 2450 Meadow Avenue, Stockton on Wednesday, November 13th. In addition to Al’s presentation, Mike Dempewolf will have some coffee, cookies, and soft drinks, and the BOD with the help of director Nancy Baker, our treasurer, Brenda McIntosh, and VP Dena Mason will have a few raffle prizes to give away so bring a few bucks extra to participate. Doors open at 6:30 and the meeting is open to the public. Prior to the meeting, a speaker’s dinner will be held at BJ’s Brew House on Pacific starting around 5:15, If you plan to attend the no-host dinner, call Jerry Neuburger (209-327-5993) by Tuesday evening or email him at gneuburg@gmail.com and let him know so he can reserve a seat for you.
