3-15-2020 Meeting Canceled
2020-03-15
Today’s meeting to be held at Cabela’s has been canceled. Next meeting will be 3/29/2020 at Cabela’s. In the meantime start working on prepping your tackle and as the weather starts warming up get out and wet a line. Nothing better to beat Bass Fever or COVID-19 then to get out there and spend some time in nature. Some of the best early season action can often be in Ponds since they will warm quicker. Be well.Read More →
