2 PROGRAM MAY SPEAKER Our May 9th guest speaker will be Arlene Lloyd, Executive Chef for the "Alchemy of the Hearth" Academy in San Marcos. Arlene will discuss how to properly prepare and cook various types of fish for tasty dinners. Thanks to a variety of ocean fish caught and donated by several of our Escondido Senior Angler's, Arlene will actually cook these fish during her presentation. We all will be able to finger-sample Arlene's chef's skills. We seem to know how to catch fish, but this should be an excellent time to see how a true chef goes about making a variety of tasty fish presentations. JUNE SPEAKER Our guest speaker for our June 13th meeting will be Bruce Damon, owner of the Escondido's "Nomad Adventures". Bruce will discuss kayak fishing in San Diego Bay and around our local lakes. He will bring and demonstrate the use of several varieties of kayaks and their proper use in calm water fishing.
