Spring is upon us, are you ready? With the warmer temps and the longer days provide more opportunities for chasing crappie. Our 1st club tournament is just around the corner, Saturday Feb 22, at Tom Steed Lake. This event will be our first using the dual tournament format with both OCAC and Crappie Masters holding tournaments at the same time. I’m sure we will find some bumps in the road as we head into this, so we ask for your patience as we work thru them. However, I for one am very excited to see where the club is heading and the growth which we are experiencing. I have had the opportunity to meet most of the members and visit with them for a few minutes and I must say there are some awesome folks that have chosen to join.
This is the start of our 2nd year as a club and we are excited to see the club grow and expand to different areas of the state. With that growth comes opportunity, we have many great members who are already plugged in, but we need you. The driving force of this club is that we are driven by the membership with the directors serving to be the point of contacts for the club. So, we encourage you to get involved, whatever your talent and/or passion we want to get you into that position. I made the statement to the directors at the last meeting, that we need the members to take ownership of the club, and to do this we (directors) must find ways to get to get the membership involved.
