Our last sponsor is a stranger to no one in New England. The one, the only, Charlie Moore!

That's right, the Mad Fisherman himself was kind enough to donate generously to our Annual Fishing Derby taking place tomorrow, marking the third year in a row he's done so.

There's nothing better than watching him fish lakes and ponds all over New England, and we're eternally grateful he continues to give back to organizations like ours that promote conservation and the outdoors.

Thanks, Charlie!

We're honored to have the family of Brett Joseph Ploude as a sponsor for this year's Annual Fishing Derby taking place tomorrow (June 6th).

Brett was a Taunton teenager who tragically took his own life in 2015. But from the grief of that event, his family created the Brett Joseph Ploude Memorial Fund to raise money in his name and memory. Learn more and donate here: https://www.facebook.com/brettploudememorialpage/

Thank you so much to Brett's family for their generosity and work in his memory.

We've had no greater supporter of our club in recent years than Greg Chiklis of MRN Diagnostics.

From the dock system to the video games in our bar area and everything in between, Greg is always there donating behind the scenes for the benefit of the club and our members. So it comes as a surprise to no one that he's once again stepping up to sponsor our Annual Fishing Derby tomorrow.

We won't pretend we're smart enough to understand exactly what MRN Diagnostics does, but we're all grateful you chose Franklin to live and work.

Tim McDonald has been a member of our club for more than a decade and an ardent supporter of our Annual Fishing Derby (June 6th) pretty much the whole time.

Known fondly as "Oklahoma" and able to name every athlete that played for an Oklahoma school (or even set foot in Oklahoma), he's a great guy and an invaluable part of our club family.

Thanks for your support, Tim!

Just a few days left until our Annual Fishing Derby on June 6th, which means we're still highlighting some amazing sponsors.

Today we're giving thanks to JBD Air Conditioning & Heating Services, Inc., a family-owned business built on trust, integrity, and a genuine commitment to our community with over 20 years of experience helping homeowners and businesses achieve comfortable, efficient, and healthy indoor environments.

Fresh air while fishing is always the best option but if you have to breathe indoors, make sure JBD is the one doing your HVAC.
