Striper clubs donate $12000 to
DNR
The
Midlands Striper Club
and Greenville Striper
Kings formally donated $12000 on Sept. 28th to the S.C. Department of
Natural Resources as a continued effort by the clubs for electroshock
equipment for the DNR striped bass brood stock. The presentation was made
during the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) monthly board
meeting.
Jim Goller with the Midlands Striper Club presented the check to the DNR
Board. "In presenting this check, we endorse and support the work of DNR
and its continuing effort of improving, restoring and maintaining striper
habitat and angler access in South Carolina waters," Goller said. Also in
attendance at the presentation were Midlands president Danny Young,
Midlands treasurer James Cassell, Striper Kings president Ronnie Sims and
Striper Kings treasurer Gerald Smith.
Midlands Striper Club, founded in 1970, and the Greenville Striper Kings,
founded in 1981, are both family-oriented clubs, open to all interested in
striped bass fishing. Their stated purpose is to stimulate public
awareness of striper fishing as a major sport, to promote full adherence
to all conservation codes, demand adequate water standards and to improve
skills as striper anglers through fellowship and friendly exchange of
striper catching techniques and ideas.
Midlands Striper Club is also committed to offering moral, political and
financial support to DNR and over the years has made more than $28,000 in
donations. Some of the funds include:
