During the last week of March club president Lou Marcucci spoke with some of the club's members that have been out fishing lately and they had this to say;
Dom Sarinelli reports water temperature in the Landing area is in the high 40's. He has been catching largemouth bass and crappie in that area. Jessie DeFalco caught a 3-1/4lb. largemouth bass and a pickerel almost as large, off Bertrand's Island. Jim DiSilvestro reports that two large muskies, both probably over 10lbs., broke him off at the boat by River Styx Bridge this week. Jim is now searching for his large Mepps spinner and a jointed fire tiger Rapala.
