3rd Annual Crab Feed Fundraiser
UASC CRAB FEED FUNDRAISER AND FISHING TACKLE SWAP MEET SET FOR NOVEMBER 12, ANGLERS ENCOURAGED TO TURN OUT TO SUPPORT LEGAL FIGHT AGAINST UNLAWFUL MLPA
3rd Annual Event Will be Held at Compton Hunting and Fishing Club,
Features New Menu Options and Sales of Donated Items
Non-‐profit organization United Anglers of Southern California (UASC) has announced plans for its 3rd Annual Crab Feed Fundraiser, scheduled for Saturday November 12 at the Compton Hunting and Fishing Club. This event has become an important and well-‐attended fundraising activity, providing anglers an opportunity to support UASC and its ongoing efforts to protect recreational fishing access in a fun and casual outdoor environment.
While plates of fresh cooked, all-‐you-‐can eat snow crab and tubs of melted butter will be familiar to those who've attended this event before, there will be significant changes for this year's event. For starters, the new location on the spacious grounds of the Compton Hunting and Fishing Club at 1625 S. Sportsman Drive in Compton. "I can't express enough gratitude to members of the Compton Hunting and Fishing Club for letting us use their facility," said UASC Chairman Dave Elm. "It's a great location that combines a clubhouse atmosphere with plenty of outdoor area for swap meet tents and tables. It's also centrally located, which is important because we have people coming from all over the Southland. We appreciate their generosity and support," added Elm.
This year's event combines two important and established annual UASC fundraisers - the Crab Feed and Fishing Tackle Swap Meet - into one convenient and fun activity. The Swap Meet begins at 8 a.m. and the Crab Feed begins at 12:30. Both events will conclude at 3 p.m. Participants will be able to take advantage of a variety of bargains on donated items, with all proceeds going to support UASC and the Ocean Access Protection Fund (OAPF) in their legal battle against the unlawful Marine Life Protection
Act (MLPA) in California. Then they can feast on fresh, tasty seafood, with proceeds from the meal also going to help protect recreational fishing access.
Event organizers have made some changes to the menu this year, providing the option to dine on tasty fish tacos as well as crab, both prepared fresh on site. They are also providing discounted prices on both menu options for children under 13.
As always, admission to the Fishing Tackle Swap Meet is free. Tickets for the all-‐you-‐can-‐eat Crab Feed are $40 for adults and $20 for kids.
