June Monthly Meeting – Guest Speaker: Cory Sanden of MC Swimbaits
Even though game 7 of the NBA finals was taking place simultaneously, many loyal FIB’ers came out to participate in this month’s meeting. The meeting began with Floyd giving us a devotion.
Tom and Val were awarded their prize money for their 2nd and 3rd place finish at last month’s Newport Harbor Bay Bass Tournament. Tom and Val each weighed a 1.80 Spotted Bay Bass.
Following the awards, Walt Galin gave us all a fish report from his trip aboard the 6 pack Options. Walt shared about staying up all night only to catch their first fish around 4:30AM and then the bite broke wide open on 30-40 pound White Seabass. One tip he shared was that when you are fishing the dropper loop, try to only use enough weight to keep your bait near the bottom. They discovered that if you had too much weight on the seabass would sense that and then spit the bait back out.
It was an honor to have Cory take time out of his busy schedule to drive all the way up from San Diego to be our June guest speaker. Cory is the sole owner and operator of MC Swimbaits, and he still pours every single lure himself!
