Presidents Message
June 2025
Please note that our chapter is back to meeting on the 3rd Weds of the month again. We are back at IBEW Local 46 Union Hall in Kent. Doors open at 6:00 PM and the meeting will start at 6:30 PM.
In April, Todd Girtz from toddsextremefishing was speaking (toddsextremefishing.blogspot.com). We learned all of the tips for exactly what gear to use, not for just any size fish, but specifically if you are looking to chase the biggest of the big halibut and lingcod out there. If you missed this one, don't miss the next time you find an event he is speaking at.
In June, Don Velasquez from WDFW shellfish will be speaking, which lines up in front of the July Dungeness crab opener in July. Don has been working Puget Sound Shellfish management for a long time. As the crab and shrimp resource ebbs and flows over the years, Don has all the data to tell us why things are not so good in some places, but also where things are doing well so we know where to prioritize our time.
We welcome all members and first-time guests to join us once again on the third Wednesday of the month for our general meetings. Membership is only $35.00 dollars for the year and is good for an individual or family. Doors open at 6:00 PM & the meeting starts at 6:30 PM. Every club meeting we run our raffle open to all and we go around the room sharing our recent fishing reports.
