About the Osterville Angler’s Club
Manager’s Corner
Albeit off to a delayed start, the OAC fishing season has begun.
The Ladies Shoal Troll was held in July and again was a very well attended. Conceived ten years ago to benefit Making Strides Against Breast Cancer, the event continues to grow in popularity.
The OAC Youth Committee came up with a great idea- so good that The Game of Shoals was added to the tournament schedule. The event was an instant hit with more than 81 youth articipating!
The month of September will be busy, so please check the schedule for tournaments (some of which have been rescheduled).
