Welcome to a new segment we are calling “Catching up with Anglers!”
We love stay in touch with our Searcher family aka anglers, to share 🎣fish stories, recreate the excitement, swap tackle tips, reunite with old friends and maybe make new ones. We thought it would be fun to see how our anglers are holding up and share some of their stories. Hopefully they can give you ideas of things we can be doing with your time or help you feel better. Let’s catch an angler.
Today we have a special angler who is a board member of the Inland Empire CCA and comes to support the Searcher family whenever he can.
