We want to thank all of you that participated in and volunteered and worked so very hard that made the 10th Annual El Cheapo Sheepshead Tournament a great success!
While the weather was on the chilly side, and it did get a little wet for a couple of hours, in the end the sun came out and overall it was a good day.
The food was great, the El Cheapo Botiqueo did well the raffles went quickly and well, and the only complaint I heard was from Ron Carr, complaining about some guy’s snoring keeping him awake all night. I didn’t hear any other complaints from the participants.
Once again we all owe Frank Joura a great big THANK YOU for the months of work he puts in, organizing, getting the presenting sponsors, as well as other sponsors, and running the El Cheapo! Along with Frank, this year we should also thank Rob Darner who stepped up and was Frank’s right hand, as Frank had some other distractions with Caroline’s Surgery on her back. ( Yes, she is doing very well.) So Frank and Rob, this seams inadequate, but,
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO FOR THE JOSFC!
Wear Your Life Jacket
Written by Top Ingram
The 10th Annual El Cheapo Sheepshead Tournament, to be held on February 27, presents an excellent opportunity to remind the Club membership of the fact that the successful fishing/ boating trip is the one that begins and ends safely.
Preparation can save your life!One way to ensure a safe outing on the water is to wear your life jacket. Although not required by law, except for children 13 years of age and younger, boaters should wear a life jacket especially when the boat is underway. Historical data shows that many excellent swimmers have drowned when thrown from a moving boat without wearing a flotation device of some type. Recently we had a near tragic accident when a small boat, with 3 fishermen, capsized near the jetties. Since the fishermen were not wearing life jackets, only the quick action of some nearby fishermen prevented a tragedy.
Visit the Jacksonville Offshore Sport fishing Club’s next meeting as our guest! You will find a great historic sporting association dedicated to preserving and enhancing the family sport fishing off Jacksonville. 2010 is our 51st year as a club. We are a working family club that welcomes the kids at our meetings, and the average boat is a 20’ to 25’ center console fishing boat. We fish the bays, backwaters, river and ocean, and welcome everyone. If you fish in salt water, you need to join, to help fight the junk science that is being used to close all our sport fishing.
Come visit us on the first and third Thursday of each month at the Mayport Boat Ramp. Dinner and soft drinks (Free) start about 7:30 PM and our meetings start at 8:00 PM we usually have great fishing and boating seminars by experts, and have a great time spinning tall stories about local fishing!
