Six (and maybe seven) of us old-timers have Aug. 21 circled on our calendars. That's Senior Citizen's Day and, more importantly, the date set for our Bass-Fishing Rodeo.
As advertised since my first notice of this event, everyone age 60 or over, or who will turn 60 on Aug. 21, are welcome to join us at West Neck Marina. Planned fishing hours are 6 a.m. to 12 noon.
Costs will include a $10-per-person entry fee (with 100 percent payout), optional $5-per-person big-bass pot, and $5-per-boat ramp fee. Unless more people show up than are currently expected, this will be a winner-take-all event. Participants can fish solo or no more than two per boat. Weigh-in is limited to three fish per boat in consideration of the higher temps we usually have this time of year.
Once our day on the water has concluded, we all can sit around and swap fish stories over a BBQ sandwich, if you want.
At the moment, the names I have on our list of participants include Skip Schaible, Jerry Gardner (and perhaps his neighbor), Al Napier, Red Bruun, Jim Bauer, and yours truly. Any more eligible old-timers who would like to join us should email me with their name and a good daytime phone number. My email address is: kenneth34@cox.net.
Look forward to seeing y'all there. Yee-Haw!
