The Salties would certainly like to thank Janet Messineo for her great presentation this August and especially for making the effort coming over from the Vineyard to do so. The feedback has been terrific and I'm sure we'll have some boys fishing in that derby next time around. Speaking of fishing, it's safe to say the funny fish should be darting around by now so grab some little metal The President s Message and head out to your favorite south side beach and wait for the splashes. Albies and Bonito are without a doubt the most exciting fish to hook up on the Cape, and can be caught from boat, shore, or kayak at any given time. Speaking of time, if you haven't registered for our Derby, you're running out of it. The date is set for Sept.10th and all the information you need to register is on the website. It's a great time, and another S E P T E M B E R opportunity for getting to know your fellow members better. There's also the chance to watch Joe Healey, once again, dragging in the winning fish with five minutes left on the weigh in clock. Finally, looking ahead to our next meeting, get ready for another hit. Capt. Kalil Boghdan will be discussing fishing the north shore marshes and the state of the bass fishery in general. Don't miss this one. --- Vinny Fishing Derby 7,8 Tide Chart Salties Meeting Dates January 27 July 27 February 23 August 24 March 23 September 28 April 27 October 26 May 25 November 16 June 22 December 14 Meetings begin with a workshop at 6:30 pm followed by a short business meeting at 7:00 and then the featured speaker/presentation. meeting information is sent to each member prior to the meeting.

Thanks -- Vinny Look at this Beauty! Here is a picture of the yellowfin tuna I caught yesterday morning aboard the Helen H on one of the large pearl strong hook Ron Z lures. The tuna was 38.5" long w/ a girth of 24". Doing the math (Length" x Girth" Squared/800), it weighed in around 27 lbs. Thanks to the Ron Z lures catching design. I am going to carve one from basswood some day soon. I plan to fish with Ron Z lures in the future for all my fishing adventures including bluefin tuna, stripers, etc. Ken Whiting with his first ever yellowtail tuna caught with a large pearl Ron-Z lure.
