CLUB OVERNIGHER....

Come rain or high water club members were determined to make this years overnighter happen regardless of the weather! Althought attendance was lower than usual each member who attended had a good time. After Thursday's rain the weather turned sunny and nice giving members a chance to get out on the lake and catch perch, walleyes, and sheephead! Tim Geschke was the winner of the game fish with a 17-1/2" smallmouth bass and Gary Parrott won the pan fish category with a 15" White Bass. Congratulations to Tim and Gary!
