Members vote to help Tsunami victims!

We are sending our aid directly to a NGO in Sri Lanka and will direct that it go to aid fishing families and fishermen that need assistance getting back to catching fish and providing for their community.  This is a vital part of the small communities’ economy and food source.  And long term health of the local residents.

Aid to Tsunami Fishermen

Meeting on Weds. 10-13-2004

This was really good.  Len Johnson from FURUNO was the guest speaker. Len brought a presentation showing how to read your fish finder and radar more exactly. It is important to understand what a thermocline looks like and some of the odd formations that may be bait or squid. He also explain how to fine tune your radar so it will show birds etc.

 

He set up FURUNO screen displays in the front for real hands on Q&A.
