2016 OAPB Holiday Party
Fellow OAPB Members,
Ending the 2016 year without a Holiday Party just does not seem right. So, in order to keep with tradition, we will be holding our annual Holiday Party at 26 Degrees Brewing Co. for all of our club members and family! This year the club will be supplying the main dishes including Ham (Honey Baked Ham, Co), and a delicious Turkey. Club members will supply one dish per family for the potluck, and the list of potluck categories will be posted shortly on the website under the events page. As members choose a dish, the list will update automatically by eliminating that dish from the list.
We will also be doing a White Elephant Gift Exchange, so if you plan on participating, please bring a wrapped gift ranging in price from $15-$20 (you can never go wrong with alcohol and wine gifts). Â Please bring one gift for each person that wants to be included in the exchange (bring one gift, take one home).
Dj X-Ray (a new club member) has graciously offered up his killer jams for our holiday fiesta. Again, this will be for club members and family only, and members must RSVP with the # of guests they will be bringing. Â The dates will be Dec. 15th @ 7pm. Further information will be posted under events.
2017 Kick-Off Party
January’s club meeting will have guest speaker Captain John E. Haney (AKA Captain Jack). Captain Jack has several decades of experience sword fishing off the coast of Florida, and will be coming in to talk to us about technique, tackle, gear, times, zones, and what it takes to get one of these bad boys in the boat!! We will also, go over the Sailfish tournament that will go down in February. Fish On!!

Great News!! Our 2017 Club shirts are in the design phase. Our graphic designer, @bloomcreativestudio, promises that we will not be disappointed with the new style and look. She will also be developing a different design for each tournament. As soon as a visual sample is ready, an upload in a 3D visual rotation will be available.
Fish On!!

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show Tickets
I have two tickets for the FLIB courtesy of Mikel D’arcangelo of ACR. Mikele will be one of our speakers this year on the EPIRB and PLB. ACR has worked closely with the families of Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos (Florida teens lost at sea) to educate families on the importance for having an EPIRB aboard the vessel at all times during offshore fishing. ACR has been working with Broward County to implement discounts on Florida Vessel Registrations when an EPIRB is purchased for the vessel. ACR will also be one of our sponsors to help get some EPIRBS onto our club member’s boats every year. If interested shoot me an email shaughn@offshoreanglerspompanobeach.org
