Club Meetings & Seminars, Events

Please note: October and November club meetings will be held on a THURSDAY. This is due to a scheduling conflict at the Senior Center.

Smart Striper Strategies

presented by Julio Silva


Given the rising cost of fuel, decreasing free time, climate change, and depletion of bait fish by haulers, can you catch quality fish without losing your job, getting divorced, going to the ER, filling for bankruptcy, and becoming homeless? Yes! In this seminar, you will learn field-proven Smart Striper Strategies that have been refined for the past 20+ years that apply to surf, kayak, and boat.


Julio Silva is an all species, all methods angler. During the hours that he should be sleeping, he fishes for anything that swims via shore, boat, kayak, and skishing. He has been blogging for 12 years. His blog overflows with DIY projects ranging from a multi-functional fishing bucket to a custom Gloucester Light Dory that he built from marine plywood and blueprints. He has been delivering fishy seminars for 10 years. He was the President of the Plum Island Surfcasters for 4 years. He has rods like his wife has shoes. Fishing is indeed his mistress. During his seminars, he answers all questions without secrecy.

Club meeting: June 21, 2022: Sarah Milton: Cape Ann Waters from the Angler’s Perspective

Uncategorized

Cape Ann Waters from the Angler’s Perspective

Go where the fish go
If you don’t go, you don’t know
Essential gear
Catching with great fishermen

Sarah Milton is the founder and head guide of Current Angler. Exploring Cape Ann from the fisherman’s perspective is vastly different from that of seasonal tourists, locals, and beach goers. Instead of seeking out the best beach spots to relax, build a sandcastle, and take a swim; anglers spend time scoping out the water’s edge along beaches looking for potential holding spots for fish by reading currents, looking for structure, watching bait, and observing birds. Beaches, marshes, and brackish rivers are excellent areas to fish, and they are abundant with wildlife in and out of the water if you know where to go. 
Sarah started fishing over twenty years ago and never looked back. Born and raised in Vermont, remote waterways provided endless opportunities to explore everything fishy. After leaving the mountains and moving to the coastal town of Rockport, Massachusetts, she had the great fortune to expand her fishing skills and learned the art of fly-fishing saltwater beaches and marshes for striped bass and other species from legends Captain Skip Montello, Steve Papows and Robbie Roberts. Sarah upholds conservation efforts by leaving a minimal footprint, catching and releasing all fish, using barbless hooks, and sharing this knowledge with others.

Our monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at the Salisbury, MA Hilton Senior Center, (43 Lafayette Rd., Salisbury, MA). Admission is free to members and $5.00 for non-members.

Doors open at 6:30 pm. Our club business meeting starts at 7:15 pm and the speaker’s presentation starts around 8:00 pm.
