Presidents Corner - June

Details: Written by Garry C Engelmann; Published: May 24 2023

President's Corner for June 2023

Here we are starting the summer and that means one thing for fishermen: Bass Opener is just around the corner. So dust off your Jitterbugs, Creekchubs and Lazy Ikes.

Now that I am thinking about it those are really old time lures. Well, I still have and use them. Guess I am showing my age. Looking in my tackle box is the history of fishing over the past six decades. I am looking forward to seeing some photos posted at the club of some of the kids holding up some nice bass.

On a more serious note. Is it me or am I seeing more and more "Gun Free Zone" signs. They seem to be everywhere you go, malls, movie theaters certain areas in your home town, and the list can fill this page. Some privately owned businesses even post gun free signs. It is getting more difficult to go about your life if you carry to navigate the maze. I guess some people that walk among us don't realize there are good guys and gals that carry and there are the bad. Us law abiding folks are the good guys.

Till next month I wish you well and see you at the pond.

Outdoor Range & Other Items

The June Highpower match will be held on Sunday the 25th and will be of the offhand variety consisting of two 25 round targets. Service, match, and hunting rifles allowed.

Black powder shoot will be June 4th at 9AM.

The annual 4H field day will be held on Saturday June 10th. Set-up starts at 7AM and events begin about 8AM until completion and award presentations.

The Bucks County Rifle Team will be holding practice in the indoor range from 7 until 9 PM on the two Friday evenings prior to the competition. That would be June 2nd and June 9th. Sorry for any inconvenience created.

Any members willing to lend a hand on the 10th will be met with appreciation. Would also like some assistance in the kitchen dispensing hot dogs and drinks.

Thanks to the Grounds Committee guys for their efforts on our behalf.

Pick up your brass, you wouldn't get away with this at home.

Fishing Committee June 2023

Trout still coming out of the pond. 700 registered so far; still a few left.

Trouble is getting bait past the bluegills and bass.

A note from Club Member Joe Myers:

"Thank you again. For another year of spectacular trout fishing. That top fish is larger than the large one my grandson caught the day before. The big one is 22 inches , 5 lbs. 10 oz. and like last year slight pink to red in the meat. Fishing guys have done it again. Thank you Joe Meyers and family"

Good fishing!
