Tiderunner Club News
January/February 2008
The club has going through some changes over the winter. We lost five of our members, three of whom decided
to start a new club and one who is fishing BFL only. Because of our lower numbers we decided to cancel our
annual award's banquet and re-group. We will probably be looking for new members to add to our present
membership of nine. More on that next month.
The new Safety Charmain is going to be Scott Dunlop.
Our 2008 Tx Schedule is complete. Due to gasoline prices we have decided to cut our season down to eight tx's
and do away with our 2-day tx this year. Check out our schedule:
For the 19th straight year, in 2007, Tiderunner had 100% attendance at the Southern Region monthly meetings.
March 2008
The club had it's first tournament on March 30th on the Potomac River. The day started off fairly nice, but as the
day wore on it got cold and breezy and the bite got tougher and tougher. Out of the seven members fishing only
twelve fish were caught and Chuck Doran caught five of them to finish in first place with 11 lbs 11 ozs. He fished
in a few areas, but caught most of his fish in one spot that he worked hard most of the day. Walt Lechert came in
second with 8-06.5 and he also had the lunker at 4-03.5. He fished one spot all day long while putting up with
boat traffic pounding him throughout the day. Everybody else rode back and forth throughout the day trying to
find a few fish. The day proved to be tough for everyone including the guys fishing the MBFN Tournament which
only had two limits from ninety contestants. Hopefully, the weather and bite will be more favorable for the club's
next tournament on April 13th on Middle River.
