November 2023

To all;
Marco Sportfishing Club has created a special membership, for which, unfortunately, you may qualify to obtain. We refer to this membership as a Surviving Spouse membership. 

 Since our club memberships are family memberships, when one partner passes we wanted to provide a mechanism for the surviving spouse to continue as a member of the club either as a full member required to pay the annual dues, or a social member that does not have a dues payment. 

 Let me explain. Currently, your membership was paid for 2023. You are entitled to participate in all club events whether they are fishing events or purely social events, such as picnics, tree lighting tailgating and the holiday party. Come January 1, 2024 - the cycle starts again. If you pay the annual dues of $40 - nothing changes.

 With the surviving spouse membership, you pay nothing. You can attend all of the club social events at the normal member rate. You can bring guests to the events, but they pay the normal guest rate since they are a guest of a club member. The only difference is you would pay the guest rate for fishing events.  

 Some of you will opt for the surviving spouse membership, some will not. It is entirely up to you which membership you choose. 

 Just reply to me from this email with your choice and I will inform the membership chairman. 

 I sent this email to this small group because I know you meet the criteria for this option. But there may be more members who would qualify for the Surviving Spouse membership. The only criteria is that they were a member in good standing when their spouse or significant other passed and have remained a member in good standing (that means paid the annual dues). If you know of any other members who might qualify, please send me their names.

 Again, I am truly sorry that you qualify.

 Keith

November 2023 Dues collection for 2024 membership will begin November 1st.
August 2023 The Club has launched a new and improved liability waiver process.  Read all about it.
Our Lawyer and our Insurance Broker have worked with us to improve the liability waiver that we have been using.  Some of you may have already signed an earlier version this summer that had an expiration date of Dec 2024 at the top. That version has the same text and provides the same coverage for the Club and our Members.  Follow this link to see if you (and optionally, your spouse) have already signed. If so there's nothing for you to do at this time.  We will remind you in late 2024 to sign the Current Waiver that no longer has an expiration date.  The Club & Members will be covered by this waiver for as long as you are a member.
A signed waiver is required by each person who attends any event sponsored by the club.  The event organizer will be checking the List to make sure we have a waiver on file for each person.  You may be able to sign a waiver at check-in or at the Captains meeting, but it is best to do it in advance.  Guests will also be required to sign a waiver. Follow this link to find out more about Guest Waiver requirements.

As a resident and charter captain, Marco's water quality is impaired by FDEP standards.  Our water quality is what drives our economy and my charter business.  The University of Florida provided a webinar held March 29th specific to Marco Waterways. 

Please click on the link below to view it and be educated on how we can use science to solve our water quality puzzle.  Residents, business owners and realtors should know what they don't know, and solutions that will restore our water quality.

October 2018 SAVE $$ ON BOAT REGISTRATIONS
Did you know that you can save up to 30% on boat registrations by registering your boat with Hendry County instead of Collier?  Boat registrations are a state function, not unique to the county where you live or were you use the boat.

The entire process takes less than 10 minutes over the phone.  They accept credit cards and will mail out your registration the same day.

As an added bonus, they are a lot nicer than the grumpy people I've dealt with at the Collier tax collector offices!

From the drop-down menu on any page, click on "Interesting Links..." under the Misc tab.

Example:


Click the "General Fishing Information" link in the index.  Scroll down to "HENRY COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR" for all the information.
Here's a sample:

There's a new form on the website that helps you get in touch with a specific club officer.  We have been having trouble with hackers stealing officers email addresses and creating Spam messages asking for money, while masquerading as a Club Officer.  To stem that we have removed almost all email addresses from the website.  Use this form to let us know who you want to communicate with and we will hook you up...MSC Webmaster
CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT THE NEW FORM.

Be careful and vigilant.  Do not respond to any suspicious emails.  Look at the return address and note the broken English.  No one in this club will ask you to send money by email, wire transfer, money order, prepaid cards or anything like that.  All club events will provide a printable entry form or flyer and a postal address to send any required check, always made out to the Marco Sportfishing Club.  Be smart.  The Internet is a dangerous place.

In case you missed the WGCU (PBS) broadcast about the Marco and Naples Reef building on TV last night, the entire video is available to watch on your computer or tablet - (or TV if you use Chromecast, Amazon Fire, Apple TV, etc. if you can enter a web address).
The documentary details the efforts of many people in the project leading up to the reef deployment and includes a view of our entire ecosystem. You will see footage of many locations where we all fish, and most of Jim's secret spots.
Pay close attention around 31 to 32 minutes in - as you will see Barry French, Bert, Howard, Mike B and a few other members of the club who where in attendance at the ceremony dedicating the reef process when the first barge went out.

Artificial Reef Update
Complete information (and coordinates) about the new reefs was included as pages 18-27 of the January newsletter, and is available online on the club website. There was a short article about the reefs and timing in that issue as well. The one thing that not everyone is fully aware of is that there are 6 reefs...2 Naples, 2 Collier County and 2 Marco Island. They just started dropping the debris for the Naples reefs. The Marco reefs are not scheduled to begin to be “dropped on” until late this summer. Consensus is that it will take a few months for the reefs to begin to flourish once they are dropped into place.

March 2014 April update
We believe the problem is solved.  From now on all the newsletters posted on the website should work with all browsers and portable devices. 
If you have a problem please CLICK HERE and report your issue.
...Thanks

WEBSITE ISSUE:
Some folks have reported trouble downloading the newsletters from the website.  We are investigating.  So far the problem seems to be related to the PDF file size, and the browser being used.

We are addressing the file size issue.  The March newsletter is available in two sizes.  Click here.

The browser issue is a more difficult problem. There are currently 5 popular browsers, with multiple versions, including desktop and mobile.

One tip:  If you are using Google Chrome Browser on an Apple product you are likely to have trouble with more than just newsletters.  Google and Apple are fierce competitors (iPhone vs Android).  Google does not want Chrome to work well on Apple devices.
However, Chrome on a Windows desktop is great, and my preferred browser.  On Apple products you will do better to use Apple's Safari Browser.

Stay tuned for more developements.

-a link to the NOAA weather has been added to the home page in the "Hot Links" box.
-A bug has been fixed that was causing some of the pictures of past board members not to appear.
-some seldom used pages have been deleted to reduce clutter.
