Looking ahead to great days of fishing, the Rod and Gun Club would like to remind you that the All Season Sailfish Championship consists of five events. In order to qualify, you must fish 3 of the 5 events (weather cancellations are taken into consideration). The first one coming up is the Grand Masters on December 4th and 5th with the Holiday Offshore scheduled for December 29th. To start off 2021, the Reef Cup will be held January 27th-30th and the Sailfish Classic March 25th-27th and the Small Boat Sailfish Tournament on April 7. All interested anglers need to set their calendars for these traditional Ocean Reef events. You can check our website calendar for all the latest at rodandgun.org/events-calendar/ .
Unfortunately, due to our enormous rains and seasonal “king tides”, the Card Sound Shooting Sports Range needs to delay their opening for a few weeks until Tuesday, December 8th. Please call 305-367-3321 or email Range@RodandGun.org for directions or up-to-date information. As a reminder, the Club will be practicing social distancing shooting this Season.
Now that our weather looks a lot better, it is also time to share your favorite catches. Please email fishing or shooting pictures to jodylsteele@gmail.com.
