Single Hook Event: April 23, 2025 at Riptide Cafe & Bar
On April 23rd the Plum Island Surfcasters are having an event at the Riptide Cafe and Bar on Plum Island (new restaurant where the Beachcoma used to be) open to all club members and to the general public.
At the event Michele Heller from the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries will be present to go over information related to their studies on how gear choices impact catch and release mortality of striped bass.
Riptide Cafe and Bar
23 Plum Island Boulevard, Newbury MA
Wednesday April 23, 2025
6 PM
Moving to a tail flag with a singular hook on the belly (inline single OR treble hook) will drastically lower the mortality rate for striped bass which are released.
Cody Mann of Chasing Tides will also be attendance, and will tie a flag or two for people who would like one tied to match a plug they have brought. Cody is a trusted supplier of flags to lure makers such as CTK Fishing, Antagonizer Lures, ME Fishing, and 401 Plugs.
In addition the club will have a variety of flags and inline hooks to help people change over some of the plugs in their bag at the event.
On top of that we will be a raffle raising money for striped bass conservation with a small variety of prizes donated from generous sponsors.
Many Thanks to Our Sponsors
