A friend of mine sent me an email a couple months ago suggesting we try a “Surfcasting Night” at the SWE.
“When I was growing up in New York City, one of the things I remember was Thursday nights, going to Teddy's Tackle in Brooklyn with my father for the weekly 'bull session'. I was only a kid then, but I remember the coffee was on and the BS was flying. Little did I know that the guys there were the icons of the sport...Danny Pichney, Jack 'The Professor' Frech and others. It would average sometimes 5, sometimes 15 guys who talked stories, shared ideas, discussed prototypes, and became close friends.”
We’ve got room in the new shop so we’d like to give it a try this Wednesday (1.7.09) at 6pm.
I think we’ll run it like our free fly tying classes; share what you know (if you want to) and maybe learn something new and most importantly have some fishing related fun in the off-season. Some nights there might be a quick presentation, most nights it’ll just be striper fisherman hanging out for the evening. If it goes well we’ll host it on the first Wednesday of every month at 6pm (although not during the fishing season).
Also coming up soon is our “How to Service Your Van Staal” seminar with Craig Cantelmo on January 17th at 1PM at the SWE. It costs nothing to attend other then a self service kit. If you already have one just bring it along (doesn’t matter where you bought it) or you can buy one the day of the class.
Here’s the rest of what’s coming up over the next few months.
