Plum Island Surfcasters 2011 Fishing Show

Posted on by

During the months of January, February, and March there are a lot of shows.  Some good, some bad, and some just too “commercial”.  Life does not allow me to attend them all.  But, the show that I never miss is the Plum Island Surfcasters show. Why?

  1. Because it is a true grass-roots show with great speakers.
  2. Because I can connect up with old friends and make new ones.
  3. Because being in the company of people who are as passionate about fishing as I am is priceless!
  4. Because no matter how much I think I know about winching up fish from submerged structures, I always learn something new that helps me land more quality fish.
  5. Because trolling from table to table always produces great catches.
  6. Because I go home with a full stomach without breaking the bank.
  7. Because the proceeds help the Jr’s program, which introduce our youth to the great sport we all love.
  8. Because the show is 100% about fishing!!!
  9. FREE Parking.

This year’s show is featuring Capt. Jim White and Roland St Denis.  If striped bass had hull-recognition ability, they would swim towards the Azores at first site their hulls!!!  These anglers know their stuff.  I am bringing a notebook and two pens, just in case I run out of ink. ;-).

The show is being held at a NEW location:

Nook Fishing Books

Posted on by

I am a geek and a bibliophile.  But, I have always read books in print.  That is until I got a color Nook as a gift.  The number of fishing books for the Nook is impressive.  The price of the Nook books are also considerably lower than printed versions.  Now that’s fishconomic!

Here are a few Nook fishing books that look interesting:

  1. The Striped Bass 60++ Pound Club
  2. On the Run : An Angler’s Journey Down the Striper Coast
  3. Bass Fisherman’s Bible
  4. Fishing on the Edge: The Mike Iaconelli Story
  5. Fly Fishing Advice From An Old Timer
  6. Great Lakes Steelhead, Salmon, and Trout: Essential Techniques for Fly Fishing the Tributaries
  7. Fly Fishing Tailwaters: Tactics and Patterns for Year-Round Waters
