FISHING TRIP

It’s that time of year, ladies & gents! The Annual Fishing Trip is Saturday, July 8th! Cost is $125 per person, which is the same price as if you went on a party boat out of Mayport on your own. The difference? With our trip, we have the entire boat chartered to ourselves! 45 members, friends & family members! And we supply a boxed lunch for everyone, along with soft drinks, bottled water, and BEER, all day!

This trip sells out EVERY year, so we suggest you purchase your ticket as soon as possible!

We’d like to thank Marlin Technology for sponsoring fishing TOWELS for all of us! We still would love to have a member sponsor the boxed lunches, or the beer!
