Sportsman's Wildlife Club turning 60!!!

Yes, the SWC is turning the BIG 60!!! The Club was Chartered October 22, 1951. We are at our 2nd location on Winfree Road, off of Hwy 22o north (near the Summerfield area). Members built the Club house, had the 12.2 acre lake dug out, the lake was stocked with fish and the members waited a full year before getting to wet a hook. That day was a special day and still now every day is a special day when you get to spend time by yourself or with your family at the Club.

Please feed our Blog fish located at the top of this sight. Take your cursor and click in several places, this drops food for our fish. No, we don't get mad at you for feeding these fish.

It's Brunswick stew cooking time!!! Members will be cooking the stew October 28th and have it ready to sell on Saturday October 29th. Our price for the best stew made in the area - $5.00 per quart!!! You may pre-order by calling Freddie Marshall - 668-2342. If you leave a message, please specify how many quarts you need, your name and phone number. It will go fast! You may pick up the stew by turning onto Winfree Rd (off of 220 N). Go to the very end of the road (and it's a long road). You'll see a gated entrance to the SWC. Come to the Club house.

SWC invites a Cub Scout troop and their families to the Club on September 24th. At least 110 showed up and a fishing rodeo was held that afternoon. SWC members helped out baiting hooks and measuring the smallest fish to the largest fish caught. All fish were released back into the lake including the largest fish caught - a 24 inch long large mouth bass caught by this young Scout (pictured above). After a hotdog supper trophies were given out for winners of several catagories. I believe everyone was a winner with spending time with your family We hope to make this an annual event! (More Scouting event pics at bottom of page)

It's been a great Spring and Summer but the fish aren't ready to hibernate yet. There's plenty of Fall fishing left!!! Our Regular Club meetings are open to the public - every first Thursday of each month at 7:00 PM. Come see what we are about, and we don't bite!

Attached are new pictures of the fun we have been having this year. We have made one change - that all bass are CATCH and RELEASE. We want you to have fun catching them but also we would like others to have that chance also.

SPRING - 2011!!!

Well, after a long cold winter the fish are active, hungry and biting like crazy! Check out Ricky's catch of a 8 lb. 3oz bass caught from our lake on 3/18/2011! I am not using "Photo Shop" to fix this picture and this ain't no fish tale either! You need to become a member of the Sportsman's Wildlife Club to enjoy the fishing. We also have other activities going on - BBQ's, cooking Brunswick stews, special speakers at our monthly member meetings, held the first Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM. Come out and visit our Club! We offer a great get-away from this stressful world. You can bring your family for a day of peaceful fishing and fun.

HOT Summer - 2010 at the Sportsman's Wildlife Club

It was a hot Summer at the SWC but the fishing was great and the BBQ/Bluegrass event was a SIZZLING evening!



After the BBQ was cooked, chopped and served with the sides to a good crowd, the microphones were heated up and the Bluegrass band Southern Magnolia played their magic for 2 1/2 hours. People in the audience danced and were singing the evening away.

This was a good opportunity for members and visitors to eat a good meal, hear great music and check out our Club! We still offer to anyone who is interested, to attend our Club meeting the 1st Thursday of every month at 7:00 PM. Our Club has down to earth members who care for the Wildlife, have good morals and want to belong to a Club who's members respect one another. The Sportsman's Wildlife Club has been at its current location for since 1971.

Club members fishing day and fish fry dinner was held on October 16, 2010. Members fished all day with their families, the fish were cleaned, fried and served up with french fries, hush puppies, slaw and homemade desserts. Now that's the way to end a hot Summer at the Sportsman's Wildlife Club!

What a Spring....

BUSY SPRING AT THE SWC!!! (please feed our fish at the top of this blog - take curser and click - this drops food and the fish on this blog will swim to eat your food). THANKS for feeding our "blogfish".



As noted before, we had a fishing rodeo Saturday April 24th at the Summerfield Community Lake here in NC. We invited kids and their families to come and have a family time together while enjoying the experience of fishing. Our Club provided the fishing poles and bait and lended a helping hand if needed. We then provided a hotdog lunch back at our Club!



SWC participated in celebrating Summerfield's Founders' Day on Saturday May 15th with an entry in the parade and an information booth at the event. A lot of people came by to get information about our Club and we have had visitors since at each of our monthly meetings (1st Thursday of each month @ 7PM) at our Club. People are surprised what all we have to offer!!!



SWC also held a fishing rodeo Saturday June 19th at our Club lake off of Winfree Rd in Summerfield. Again we invited parents to bring their kids out for a morning of fishing. We provided fishing poles and worms. Afterward the Club provided a pizza lunch. What a good way to spend family time!

So, come on and check us out!

BBQ Supper and sale, Fishing Rodeo, Founder's Day celebration event

Sitting on our rear-ends?? NO WAY!!! Sportsman's Wildlife Club members are having a busy Spring.

On Saturday March 20th, our Club held a BBQ supper and sale. Twenty-five pork shoulders were slowly cooked and chopped up to make some GREAT QUE served with baked beans, slaw, roll, drink and HOMEMADE DESSERTS by our lady members. We had several diners comment that they had attended another BBQ event at another location this same day for lunch and now were trying out our BBQ for dinner....and they SAID OURS was the BEST of the day!!! Now it's great to hear those compliments BUT 2 meals of BBQ...that's some serious BBQ lovers and "they will be back again". So keep your eyes peeled on this blog site and see our ad in the Northwest Observer paper for the next BBQ dinner later this year!

Saturday April 24th our Club held its long tradition Fishing Rodeo for kids 12 and under. This is a special event that our Club provides kids from all over to spend the morning fishing, learning and having fun at the same time. We provide the bait and poles. We also served these young, hungry fishermen hotdogs for lunch. Brings back memories of spending time fishing with my dad and brother. Parents are welcomed to spend this special time with their children.
