I wasnt going to respond to this but I cant help myself . I dont and probably would never join a club . In my mind they are very clicky ( just my opinion) . I feel that most clubs do fantastic things for the fishery and the environment . I know for a fact that MBBA , MSBA and the CSA have and do many projects to help keep the beaches clean and try to keep accesses open and to get the younger generations into the sport and off the streets and drugs along with charitable donations to various organizations that need help . There are definately more that they do . I really dont think the press is as important to these clubs as the deeds they do . I dont know Patrick but I do know he is one of the hardest working people I have seen in the fishing world . My hat goes off to these clubs and their members for the unselfish stuff they do for others .

I have done all the same things without being in a club . "I would never belong to an organization that would have someone like me a member ". I have been in spring clean ups since before it was the in thing . I have taught many inner city children to fish and fish well even ice fish ( most have never even walked on the ice , now thats funny )
I have 2 wonderful fishers in both my daughters , both have caught impressive freshwater fish and have placed or won a # of youth tourneys .

Now that I pounded my chest and talked about how great a dad and person I am . Im going to go watch cartoons with Jessi .
