LCUDC News:
This year, reels are once again allowed for fish entered into the state "skin diving" competition. Diver's will have the option to place their fish on either the "skin diving" OR "freediving" boards, but not both. Detachable floats or buoys can only be used for the "freediving" competition.

The 2008 Aqua Aces Rodeo was a great success, and we owe it to our club members, sponsors, and mother nature.

This Year's Winners:
King Spearfisherman: George Ansardi - Hell Divers
Queen Spearfisherman: Abby Donaldson - Get 'Em

This year, the Aqua Aces made their annual donation to Children's Hospital before the rodeo so that it could be done during the annual Children's Miracle Network Telethon. Click Here or on the image below to see the video:
