Lots of Thanks are in Order
Carl Benson talk on Fluke Hooks
Special thanks go out to Peter Murcko, Bob Gynn
Frank Richetti and Jim Savage for their efforts to
make the Awards Dinner a great success. Peter went
above and beyond with the arrangements to make the
event special for the 60th year of the club. The
evening was enjoyed by all 91 that were in attendance
by socializing and dancing.
Jim Savage took the fund raising portion by the reigns
and did a spectacular job of coordinating gift
donations and setting up the raffle and auction
portion of the evening.
The entertainment was enjoyed by all.
Guests participate heavily in the raffles that were
nicely displayed.
Carl Benson, an advisor to the Mid-Atlantic
Marine Fisheries Council, is also an avid fisherman,
especially for fluke. He will give
a power point presentation on
the best type of hooks to reduce
mortality of fluke. All too
often, we unintentionally kill
fluke since they swallow the the
hook too deep and when we release the fish we
know that it will not survive. Carl will talk about
the hooks we can use to really cut down on this
mortality of these fish we like to catch.

PBA Kids Fishing Tournament
The PBA kids fishing tournament will be held on
Saturday May 2nd @ 8:00am. Any member wishing to
volunteer contact Duane Danish @ (732) 223-5485. This
is the day after our meeting so
plan on attending the meeting
if you want to volunteer to get
all the details.
Vandalism @ Womens Club
There was some vandalism done to the storage room at
the women club. It was agreed to
install hasps and pad locks on
both doors leading to the room. If
you feel you have the time and
skillets do this please contact Bob
Gynn to coordinate the effort.
BluesClaws Outing
We will be working on the BlueClaws outing in the
following weeks. No date has been set yet as we want to
try to get a date that most can attend.
Pete Murcko will have a sign up sheet at
the next meeting or you can call
him at (732) 616-9908 if you plan
to attend.
The BlueClaws generously donated to the Awards diner
and this is our chance to support them .
Change of Plans
The auction planned for the
upcoming meeting has been
postponed to the following
month. The executive
committee decided it was to the
benefit of the club to schedule a
talk on fluke hooks and mortality before the start
of the upcoming season. Attend to learn how we
can help land more fish and safely return them if
they don't meet the minimum size requirements.
So that means you have an extra month to sort out
those gems that you want to auction off. Get them
out and ready as this is a fun meeting.
Manasquan Craft Show
There is a craft show scheduled Saturday April
25th @ the Squan Plaza. There has been
discussion for the club to man a table and give
handouts inviting the prospective members that
were dragged their with their wives and bored to
tears. Short of giving them beer what’s better than
talking fishing on a day they would rather be out
on the water. Volunteers are needed so come
prepared to offer your service and or thoughts at
the next meeting.
Fluke Trip Date Change
Due to a miscommunication the date of the
Fluke Trip on the Suzy Girl is now Saturday July
18th. Those that committed and cannot make it
will be given a full refund. Contact Chris Jewell
for details @ (732) 616-7123.
