The Balboa Angling Club is having a membership drive to recruit anyone interested in belonging to one of the finest and oldest fishing clubs in the country. Our club was founded in 1926 with the objective of promoting conservation, saltwater rod and reel fishing and sportsmanship among its' members. Our club hosts several tournaments throughout the year, including the prestigious Master Anglers Billfish tournament. This year we have planned several seminars to help our membership increase their knowledge in all areas of fishing and rigging techniques. If you're looking for a fun, family oriented club to belong to, we would love to have you as a member. Several membership categories are available. There are a lot of SCMO members that belong to the BAC and if any of you would be interested in being a part of our seminars and sharing your skills, please let me know. The talent that is on this site is unbelievable and the members of the BAC would like to tap into some of it. Check us out and download your application at Balboa Angling Club Sport Fishing Club. Just mention that Jeff sent you. Thanks.

Jeff Clary
Director

Hi John,
Chances are we don't have the pictures any longer. I've only been on the board for two years but I do know that several years ago we had a secretary throw out a lot of old memorabilia. You know how small the club house is. It's a shame that we didn't just store the stuff offsite. I'll ask for you and gladly reply if I can find out anything. Are you still a member?
Jeff

I have been interested in the BAC for some time now, I am currently a member of the DAC. How does the " I belong to 2 clubs thing" work? I know Pat and Sara are in both as well as Rich and Kathy Pomo.

I belong to three, so the only issue is paying three dues, attending three awards banquets and balancing three tourney schedules ... :-)

Stan,
You said it, except we missed you at the awards this year!! :-D

H.E.L.
If you can juggle it all around, come and join up. A lot of our members belong to several other clubs. Pat & Sara, Rich & Kathy all took home a lot of bling this year. Some of the top anglers in our club for sure.

They took home some bling in the DAC also, I ended up with quite a bit of bling myself. I think I will fish the lily call and then decide.
