SUMMARY:August 5th meeting with speaker Phil Friedman / Friedman Adventures!
DESCRIPTION:GUEST SPEAKER Phil Friedman / Friedman Adventures\n\nhttps://friedmanadventures.com/ \nPhil Friedman is a lifelong Southern California sportfishing veteran\, outdoorsman\, educator\, and media pioneer whose deep roots in the water began at the tender age of 12\, when he started as a pinhead (entry-level deckhand) aboard the iconic Redondo Special out of Redondo Beach\, California. This early hands-on experience on the half-day boats sparked a passion that has defined his entire career. \nOver the following years\, Phil honed his skills and worked on some of the most legendary sportfishing vessels in the region\, including the Grande\, Queen of the Sea\, Freedom\, Toronado\, Mascot IV\, Searcher\, and Pursuit. These boats took him across the Santa Monica Bay\, offshore islands\, and beyond\, building his expertise in chasing everything from local calico bass and sand bass to pelagics like yellowtail and tuna. \nPhil also ventured into commercial fishing\, captaining the Thunder Fish out of Redondo Beach for two full seasons\, gaining invaluable knowledge of the ocean’s rhythms\, weather patterns\, and the hard work behind every catch. \nPhil also founded 976-TUNA in 1985. Today\, he hosts Friedman Adventures\, a thriving platform with over 100\,000 followers across YouTube\, Facebook\, Instagram\, Apple Podcasts\, and Spotify — sharing daily fishing intel\, adventures\, food\, travel\, and his commitment to getting people\, especially youth and underserved communities\, out on the water. \n\n  \n\n\n5:30 – dinner & social time\n6:30 – meeting\nOpportunity drawings – all night long!\n  \n\n\n\n\nLocation:  The Black Bear Diner\n2401 E Harbor Blvd\nVentura\, CA 93001 | Map\n\n\nPLEASE READ — LOCATION & POLICY CHANGE: \n\n\n\nAs part of our agreement with Black Bear\, all attendees are expected to order at least one food item and one beverage from their reasonably priced menu\, so come on down\, enjoy a nice hot meal and enjoy the club meeting in a nice private room with a BIG SCREEN tv for presentations!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Fuzzy” ITINERARY \n\n\nDinner: 5:30 – 6:30pm\nMeeting starts: 6:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nClub Business\nOpportunity Drawing\nSpeaker Presentation\n2nd Opportunity drawing\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWrap-up & Exit around 8:00-8:30pm-ish\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n** Our opportunity drawings are like door prizes.  It costs nothing\, but we hope you will throw a little something in the club’s donation box to keep it going all year!
