will return to pick us up at the mouth of Fence Lake and take us back to the dock.

We still have no saltwater trip planned for May. May 2018 Saltwater outing
So far I have nothing ready, or even a leader to step forward.
This is an opportunity to share your knowledge and get friends on the water.

TFF 2018 Bolivar saltwater trip stories
Bill Leary and Mike Green started from Stingaree Thursday morning at 10:00 AM.
As the house was Available to us early Thursday, the rest started showing up at Thursday afternoon at the Beach house “Playn Hooky” to set up sleeping arrangements and do some basic organizing. By Friday afternoon, all the beds were filled, as well as the couches and recliner.
After the fishing and dinner we sat around and told stories.

Here I’ve tried to capture just a few:
Prison Permit Invitational, 2018
The weather for the weekend won’t allow us to safely navigate East Matagorda Bay.
The next 3 weekends have Texas FlyFishers’ events scheduled, so a make-up date has not been considered as of today.
Need a leader, and a location.
Discussion is open.
In preparation for next weeks’ outing : Prison Permit Invitational, 2018 3 of us loaded into Mike Q’s boat and made the run from Matagorda Harbor to the south shoreline, around Cleveland Bayou.
The January club meeting would be a great opportunity to get deposits in, locking your spot on some memorable trips, and to meet some great people, not just our speaker.
