Our 1st get together was a good one. We usually start off with just a handful, but 19 anglers showed up. In attendance was Devlin Mackey, from Mackey’s Orchard. He brought everyone a supply of Apple Cider Donuts. Bob Mayberry announced that  an 18 foot Yamaha G3 Boat and trailer have been approved, along with a Yamaha 90/65 Jetdrive. We took a group photo to send into Yamaha Motor Company, and Yamaha G3 Boat Company. Thank you to Darrel Moshler, our Yamaha Sales Rep, Ron Zastocki, our Yamaha Service rep, and everyone at Yamaha G3 Boats, and Yamaha Motor Corporation, for their continued support of the Bi State Shad Fishing Contest. Our next get together will be in January, and i will post date and location once determined. Happy Holidays
