Next Membership Meeting
Darrell Huff of SMARTTROLL
If your last fishing trip was mostly an expensive way to wash lures, it’s time to get schooled. Join Milwaukee GLSF on Tuesday, October 13, at 7 p.m. as we welcome Darrell Huff from SMARTTROLL. Bring your questions, grab a fishing buddy, and spend an evening with people who understand why “just one more pass” takes another hour. Come reel in a few ideas for next season—and bring your best fish story. We’ll allow a little extra length on that one.
When: Tuesday, October 13, 7 p.m.
Where: Joe’s K Ranch, 4840 S Whitnall Ave, Cudahy, WI 53110
Get Hooked on GLSF Gear
Your tackle box is dialed in. Your wardrobe? Probably skunked. Fix that with official club apparel: the GLSF logo printed or embroidered on tees, hoodies, polos, and HUK fishing shirts. No limit, no license required, and unlike the one that got away, the quality is no exaggeration.
Orders are handled by our supplier, All-Star Sportswear. The store opens in a new tab.
Support Our Club
Join the Crew for $20 a Year
Twenty bucks won’t buy you two decent spoons, but it will buy you a year with Milwaukee’s salmon and trout crowd. Members get monthly meetings with guest speakers, seminars, club fish-ins and contests, the annual banquet, and the Tightline newsletter. Your dues also keep the club working for the Lake Michigan fishery. New or renewing, family or senior, it takes about two minutes online.

Club Tournament Challenge Series
We Put a Scoreboard on the Fish-Ins
This summer the club fish-ins got a makeover. The first-ever Club Tournament Challenge Series turned them into friendly competition, with bragging rights on the line for heaviest fish, a monthly target species, the Big 3, and season points. Same lake, same lunch, a lot more trash talk at the cleaning station. Want to see how it works before next season? The paperwork is below, no hooks attached.
