Englewood Fishing Club (EFC) January 2025 Newsletter
Welcome everyone to January; the coldest month in southwest Florida. Cold fronts from the north will bring chilly winds, but the days are getting longer and hopefully the new sun will soon dominate and bring warmth and fish to us all.
The Englewood Fishing Club meets 6:30 pm Thursday January 9th at the Rotonda Community Center, (646 Rotonda Circle, Rotonda West). January’s speaker is Captain Josh Olive and he is an educator, photographer, founder and host of the Radio Waterline Show and editor of the weekly WaterLine Magazine. Professor Josh Olive’s talk will reveal the secrets of catching Sheepshead in the Charlotte Harbor area and beyond. Enjoy the meeting and sign-up and/or participate in one or all of the upcoming events.
