Englewood Fishing Club (EFC) July Newsletter
July is the hottest month of the year in Florida. July’s hot and humid temperatures can lead to serious adverse effects like heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat exhaustion and heatstroke can look alike, but heatstroke requires immediate medical care and is life threatening. So, how do we avoid heat related illnesses? (See the full story on the Englewood Fishing Club web page.)
Stay hydrated, wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, wear a hat and sunglasses, take frequent breaks in a cooler area, avoid strenuous activities, use cooling cloths soaked in cool or icy water, use a personal fan, acclimate to the heat before extreme exposure, do not eat heavy meals or greasy snacks during or prior to heat exposure, avoid alcohol and caffeine before high heat exposure. Older adults, young children, individuals with pre-existing health conditions including pregnancy and certain medications are most prone to heat exhaustion. Stay safe and enjoy outdoor Florida in July.
The Englewood Fishing Club
meets 6:30 pm Thursday July 10th at the Rotonda Community Center, (646 Rotonda Circle, Rotonda West).
July’s scheduled speaker is Captain Steve Phillips of Southern Charm Charters. Captain Steve will talk about inshore fishing Charlotte Harbor and how to throw a cast net. Bring your cast net and Captain Steve will show you how to throw it.
Visitors are welcome.
Enjoy the meeting and sign-up and/or participate in one or all of the upcoming events.
