September Meeting James Beasley with Wicked Lures
James grew up in a small town in the Pacific Northwest and fishing has always been a part of his soul. When other kids were playing team sports, you would find him in the back yard casting into empty coffee cans just to get his timing and accuracy down. He spent 14 years making, designing and prototyping a different type of lure that causes a fish to strike. Through many trials and errors he finally perfected the right presentation and Wicked was born.

Presidents Message
August 2019
Captain Tommy Donlin was in the house for our July 17th general meeting. It’s always great to have Tommy come and talk with the club. He always has fantastic information and knowledge to share with us all on Tuna. You can tell he’s passionate about it as well. He should be because his trips are very successful. If there is one thing you will learn with these tuna is that you had better plan and plan some more when you think you have it understood. Be prepared and bring your “A” game. Tommy brings a lot of championship caliber thought to how he fishes for tuna and so should we all. Fresh albacore will be hitting the docks at Westport and a few other coastal marinas very soon.
