Each month, regularly scheduled fresh water fishing trips are on Thursday, one week after the first Wednesday of the month Breakfast Meeting. Because of being more weather and tide dependent, the salt water fishing trips are scheduled during the week after the 3rd Wednesday Evening meeting with the exact date picked a few days before. Other trips are scheduled based on member interest, availability and what fish are biting. Each trip may be postponed or cancelled due to the weather and/or tides.
