The Fishing Show scheduled for March 21, 2020 has been canceled.
Dear Plum Island Surfcaster show attendee:
It is with great disappointment I must inform you of the cancellation of our annual show to be held on March 21st. With the onset of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus), the health and safety of the general public should be our first priority. Since many events in the area, including other fishing shows, are canceling or postponing, we feel it is the right thing to do.
We hope that you will consider attending our show next year. Look for news about that as the end of the year draws near. Until then, stay well and tight lines.
Georgette Henrich ~ President
Changes Are Coming!
Bigger and Better Than Ever
Our 24th Annual Fishing Show is scheduled for March 21, 2020. We hope to see you there.
Hope Church, 11 Hale Street, Newburyport, MA, 8:00 am to 2:00 pm
Our headline speaker will be Dennis Zambrotta.
Putting the Odds in Your Favor in the Surf
12:00
Dennis’ presentation will cover his 40 years of surfcasting experience and provide tips and techniques for success. Having been through multiple changes in striped bass regulations during that time, he will shed insight into how to adapt to the current decrease in striped bass biomass and put the odds for success in your favor.
Dennis Zambrotta has been an avid striped bass surfcaster for the past forty years and has pursued his quarry from Montauk to Cape Cod and many points in between. His book Surfcasting Around the Block is considered by many as the definitive source for sufcasting Block Island. He has authored multiple articles for “The Fisherman” magazine and Surfcaster’s Journal and is considered a true surf fishing historian. His seminar presentations about surfcasting for striped bass have been described as “top notch and most informative.” Always very involved in striped bass fisheries management, he served many years on the Rhode Island Striped Bass Advisory Panel, representing recreational surf fishermen. He has been president of the Newport County Salt Water Fishing Club for over 20 years. Dennis resides in Newport, Rhode Island with his wife Karolyn. They have two children, Nicholas and Marina, both surfcasters.
We will also have presentations by:
Geoff Klane
Stripers on the Fly, Plum Island to Cape Cod

Clayton Patles and James Jewkes
The Ins and Outs of Fishing Plum Island

We are expanding into more space at Hope Community Church. The church sanctuary/auditorium will be used for our fishing seminars.
This is a beautiful, dark room with seating for over 300 people and professional projection and sound equipment. We will have no more problems with excess light or poor sound.
That open atrium where we used to have the talks can now be used for display booths. We are working to recruit even more vendors of high quality fishing equipment.
Vendors wanting to reserve a display space may contact Larry Craig at 978-828-4441 or by using the contact form below.
Many thanks to all our sponsors who support the club and donate items for our raffle table.
