RICHMOND October 2004 VIRGINIA In This Edition: A VAC Fishing Pond? Backlash, Page 2. Bill s mighty cat. Photo, Page 4. New Angling Rules and Weights Rules: Page 1. Weights: Pages 7 & 8. October Meeting The October meeting will be held at the Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries Building, 4010 West Broad Street at 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, October 26th. The entrance and parking are at the rear of the building. Backlash (Commentary from the Board of Directors) Directors Adopt A Modest Increase in Annual Dues After dues have been held steady for 10 years, the Board of Directors voted in favor of a modest increase in dues at the October 11th Board of Directors meeting. The increase is effective on the first day of the 2005 angling year, December 1, 2004. Annual dues for members residing in Virginia will increase by $10.00 from $50.00 to $60.00 and annual dues for members living elsewhere will increase by $5.00 from $35.00 to $40.00. Dues were held at current levels by seeking out additional donations of quality items that increased participation in and increased income from monthly raffles, by maximizing calendar sales, by saving postage and printing cost by moving to voluntary receipt of the Angler by e-mail and by prudent use of reserve funds. Donations for the balance of 2004 for conservation and legislation purposes were frozen at the October 11th meeting. These measures will bring the club expenses and income back to a break-even basis. Cook-Out At White Tail Farm Cancelled We owe Elly and Linda Robinson a big thank you for offering and preparing their farm as the site of the VAC Bar B Q. Regretfully, the event had to be cancelled for lack of participation. Checks received by the Club will be returned. Continued on page 2. Angling Rules The angling rules committee met twice in late summer and proposed several changes in the rules and basic weights. These proposals were discussed by the board of directors and approved on 9/14/04. The principle focus of the discussions was on the role and purpose of release weights in club activities. With the advent of weighing on the boat and the high percentage of released fish by the membership, the primary purpose of release weights has become the awarding of point credit for fish, which are deemed to be hazardous to the angler. The board further endorsed that release weights should not be used to obtain point credit for undersized fish. An example would be a juvenile cobia, which clearly weighs less than the release weight of 35 pounds. Release weights were then addressed. Release weights were eliminated for many species and new release weights were added for others. The changes are highlighted in red in the attached basic weight tables for 2005 (see pages 7 & 8). The requirements for the Master Angler rating were reviewed. In order to preserve the elite status of this most prestigious award, several changes were approved to strengthen and/or to clarify the requirements. These changes are: 1. No species may be duplicated. 2. Release weights may only be used for tarpon and billfish. 3. Striped bass added to must list for SW fly-casting. 4. Allowance removed for amberjack on 16# tippet. Must now be 12# tippet or less. 5. Wording changed for LMB on plug to require 7 pound bass regardless of line used. 6. Billfish requirement in the general division modified to allow use of flat line or live bait. We felt the definition of flat line was best clarified by citing what is not included (the use of outriggers, downriggers, center riggers, kites, planer boards, or rods on bridges or t-tops), thus leaving a flat line as being a rod trolled off the transom with or without a release clip. Live bait fishing is allowed provided none of the above parenthetical equipment is used. Thus, allowing a rod with live bait to be used provided it is held or placed in a rod holder. The intent here is to require the angler to control the drop back of the bait instead of the equipment. The requirements of Saltwater Expert rating were also changed to reflect the intent of the above flat line clarification. The red drum release award and the yellowfin tuna release award were modified to eliminate the use of points calculated using release weights. These awards will now be presented on the basis of the number of fish released.

Backlash Continued from page 1. October Raffle A Piece of History and Field Tested Flies Want to own a piece of history? Bill Gallash has generously donated a Penn Senator Reel and a companion big old catfish rod from his personal tackle collection. Both items donated by Bill will be raffled at the October Membership Meeting as a combo. Raffle tickets will be sold for this combo at 1 ticket for $5.00 / 3 tickets for $10.00. Capt. Tommy Mattioli also made the generous donation of the field-proven flies he made as the featured speaker at the September Membership Meeting. Raffle tickets for this fine collection of killer flies will be offered at 1 ticket for $1.00. See Eddy Johnston before the meeting or at the break to buy chances on these very useful donations. Membership Meeting Programs Presenter Jerry Thrash of Queen s Creek was scheduled for the October Membership Meeting. Unfortunately he won t be able to make it, so VAC is in the process of confirming an alternate speaker. The November meeting will wind up presentations for the year with a How To session featuring VAC members sharing their knowledge on angling topics. Help Set The 2005 Tournament and Club Activity Offerings The Directors and Officers of the VAC want to know what the members of the club would like in the way of tournaments, outings, speakers, demo s etc. for the coming 2005 club program. Please take a minute to think over what you would like to see in the coming year. Tournament suggestions should go to Bob Brown. Any Director or Officer will gladly receive suggestions for the other topics mentioned. Our club will only be as strong as the effort individual members put forth to make it a great club. A Fishing Pond Can This Be In The Future of the VAC?? The Leadership of the VAC would like to secure access to a pond in which club members can fish at their convenience. All options will considered.leasing, ownership, affiliation with a hunt club that has access to a pond, pond clean up and management in return for access, your grandfather s handshake. Any pond should be of sufficient size that it would produce a good selection of catches. Bring any ideas to any member of the club leadership. A Monthly Meeting Place It is felt that there are advantages for having a meeting place where we can have beer present as part of the Monthly Membership Meetings. However, the club financial resources are limited and the customary rental fee (estimated at $200 /use) for such a place would divert club funds away from the core needs of the club. If any member has any ideas or knowledge of any reasonably convenient meeting place available for no or a modest fee where having beer would not be an objection to use, please let any club Officer or Director know. Special Room Rates At The Days Inn At The Beach (Virginia Beach) The CCA has arranged for double occupancy of $25 per night weekdays and $30 per night weekends at the Days Inn at The Beach during the current striper season (offer ends March 30, 2005).

Elly Robinson captured first and second, while Robbie Robinson claimed third place. Elly s winning entry was a 16-8 African pompano caught on 6-plug that scored 366 points. His second place fish was a 19-8 barracuda on 6-plug worth 300 points. Robbie s fish was a 22-0 barracuda on 8- spin that earned 275 points. Congratulations guys! Fishing was definitely off a bit this past month due to lots of rain and other nastiness associated with the hurricanes. Saltwater action boiled down to a few speckled trout, a weakfish and several red drum. Robbie Robinson notched a club record for speckled trout with a 2-12 on 2-plug. Danny Noland aced Elly Robinson for the first club record weakfish 5 on 2-plug. Danny s fish was a 3-2 caught at the Cell on a stingsilver. After nine days on the beach without an adult drum bite, I finally found a few hungry reds. Nine to be exact. Seven came on the sixth and seventh of October and then the bite tapered off to one a day. Several nice fish were tagged and released including a 50-0 and a 51-0. A few world-class stingrays showed up at the end to help keep the muscles in tone! I m hoping the drum will linger a little later than usual since they showed up late, at least for me. On the freshwater side, Fred Cousins and Eddy Johnston just completed a successful quest for catfish on the James. Fishing for flatheads on the ninth, they scored with a 19-8 and a 13-8 on 4-general using live sunfish. Fred had the better of the two flatheads and got lucky with a 32-0 blue catfish to boot! Scott Johnston avoided the aftermath of the hurricanes by going to Michigan, where he found a nice Chinook and a carp. The 12-0 salmon was caught on 6-plug and the 5-8 carp on 4-fly.
