I was president of the Gem State Hookers. The club had been in existence since 1987. I've had an ad in the Statesman for the last 10+ years in the outdoors section. Members came and went thru the years. We kept the membership to no more than 25 members to keep it small so friendships could develop. I've been in clubs that had 50+ members and didn't know half of them. The economy was the final straw, I suppose plus people moved on to other things.
Being retired, I would like to see a midweek club so you wouldn't half to fight the weekend crowd. I did belong to Midnight Bassmasters. They fished on Wed starting at 4 PM to dark which limited it to close by lakes but I would prefer one that started at dawn to 3 PM. If most of the members were retired or had midweek days off, you could go to lakes that were further away.
