Huntington Beach Fishing & Recreation Club
The Huntington Beach Fishing and Recreation Club (HBFRC) is looking for new members. The Fishing Club is all about fishing, camaraderie and haaving fun. We have male and femaile members of all ages. We fish in local freshwater lakes, the Sierras, saltwater bays, surf and the open ocean as well as Mexico, Canada and Alaska. Some members don't fish but enjoy the social activities, brunches at restaurants, Potluck lunches, Fish Fry's, Darts in the Park and more. There is a small yearly membership fee to participate. We have a very active calendar with scheduled activities every week. Best of all there is nothing about politics and no drama. We would like to invite you to attend one of our monthly meeting at the HB Senior Center in Central Park on the first Wednesday of each month at 10:00am sharp, so come early and see first-hand what it's all about. If you would like additional information, please contact our President Larry Schiel (714) 421-3424 or email ljschiel@gmail.com
