RE: MEMBERSHIP DUES
Just a reminder, we still have over sixty (60) WRBC Members who have not yet paid their dues for this
year 2022. Bob Mehok has sent out notices to everyone who has not yet paid.
You can pay your dues at this month's meeting or send your payment to: WRBC, P. O. Box 749, Whiting, IN 46394 OR to Bob Mehok, 9838 Redbud Road, Munster, IN 46327. Once your dues are received, Bob will then mail your 2022 WRBC Membership Packet to you. The WRBC is depended on all of our members getting their dues paid in a timely manner. You do have until the end of April to get your membership dues paid in full.

RE: DREDGING OF WHITING PARKS MARINA
Good news. I was informed by the City of Whiting, that dredging of our marina will start in early April, weather permitting. This of course is the news and hopefully everything will run smoothly and we will finally have an open channel to Lake Michigan. The city is not going to do the entire marina, but will open it up to the lake and the city will finish dredging in the fall.
My suggestion is please be patient with the city and this project. I will keep you informed if there are
any changes.

RE: CITY OF WHITING PARKING STICKERS
Just a reminder: Make sure you have your new 2022 City of Whiting Parking Sticker in place on the
lower left bottom of your windshield if you are going to park inside Whiting Park or Whihala Beach.
The Mayor of Whiting has increased the penalty fee for parking illegally to $100. If you don't have your City of Whiting Parking Sticker on your windshield and you get ticketed for this fine, it will be out of your own pocket to pay, as for the WRBC will not reimburse you.

RE: WHITING-ROBERTSDALE FOOD PANTRY
Thank you to all who donated food and or money to the Whiting-Robertsdale Food Pantry at our
February Boat Club Meeting. I received a nice letter from the City of Whiting thanking WRBC
for all the donations that were collected. I will read the letter at our March meeting. Again, I
would like to thank Boat Club Member, Morty Demkovich, as he has done in the years past,
ensuring all the donated food and monies were delivered to the Whiting-Robertsdale Food Pantry.

RE: FISHING NEWS
Just a brief FYI, for anyone wanting to get in on an early Spring catch. I was informed that since ice
out, they have been catching Perch in the Illinois River and Coho off shore. Try fresh shrimp and
casting body baits and of course minnows for the Perch.
Thank you,
Mike Hill
