   The Club’s first Junior Angler Easter Egg Hunt was a big success! 

   On April 17th JOSFC held its first Easter Egg Hunt.  Even though the weather was wet and cold it could not put a damper on the enthusiasm that they Jr. Anglers had. 

  Cassie, Monica and others put over 200 eggs stuffed with chocolate and special prizes.  Out of the 200 eggs hidden 5 were a special gold metallic egg that held grand prizes.  We had 5 in all.  The prizes ranged from Easter egg baskets to rod and reels.  The Grand Prize was a Penn Battle 3000 valued over $100.00.  The hunt took place at the playground across the street with the children running here and there looking and finding eggs.  Wet, cold but with smiles on their faces the children returned to go thru their prizes and have pizza with ice cream bars.  
I would like to thank all of the Parents and Grandparents who participated in this event.  In case you missed this fun time stay tuned as we will have other events for the Jr. Anglers in the near future.In spite of the weather, we had about  15 Junior Anglers bring their parents and show up for the First Annual JOSFC Junior Angler Easter Egg Hunt!

     Hey!  My name is Joseph Tooker.  I am an avid offshore and inshore fisherman as many of you know.  I have lived here in Jacksonville over the past 10 years,   and  have been a member of the Jacksonville Offshore Sport Fishing Club. This August I am traveling to Kodiak Island, Alaska for 17 days to fish for Salmon, Halibut, rock fish, cod, and many more pacific species.  
During my trip I will be volunteering to support the Wounded Warrior Project with my friend Brandyn Sampson, an active duty USCG member.  I will be volunteering as a mate to assist Brandon in taking out several Wounded Warriors out on the water in Kodiak, Alaska. We intend on fishing with these wounded warriors for approximately 4 days.

     Most of you know of the Wounded Warrior Project charity that raises money to support our wounded veterans in many ways.  In an effort to give back even more, I would like to request many of you to pledge a donation to be given to the Wounded Warrior Project after my excursion.   You can donate by either making a pledge per fish that I catch during my trip, a not to exceed donation, or a single donation amount.
