Stay tuned for more info but, it's opened to all its free and if any one wants to set up one or two tables to offer up something fishy whether it's a demonstration or you have something to sell.
Last year we had over 100 fisher people show up and this year promises to be bigger.
Feel free to call text pm carrier pigeon me or just post up here.

Slingshot series, moderate fact action
1145 9'6" 1 to 3 oz
1267 10'6" 2 to 5 oz
1327 11' 2 to 5 oz
1328 11' 3 to 7 oz
1449 11' 4 to 8 oz

Stealth series, moderate action, more parabolic
10' 1 to 3.5 oz

Hoping to have some other rods done by the show, or at least the blanks with me and some prototype rods too.

Will probably bring some eats with me too.

Thanks for the invite guys.

And so far we have :
Mike Mullen Demo- (he of monster jointed needle fish fame) will have a lathe and will be turning plugs

Bill Goeben Demo - Tying saltwater teasers

Billy Delizio Demo (he of the world famous Billy D stubby needles) making a skin plug

Big Tim Johnson Demo how to cook your Bass with a smoker. Tastes great

And more Demos being added- each scheduled at a set time for around 20 minutes or so --you can see what you want-

also

Chris with Century Rods
Dennis Zombrotta- Book signing: Surfishing Around the Block
Joe Lyons- Fish Hard Live Long merchandise
Craig Cantelmo - showing Van Staal Reels

Also lots of tables of plugs and gear for sale. I will have a table with custom plugs most unused- such as Beachmaster, Habs Sr. RM Smith, Afterhours, Northbar... low prices. All kinds of rod and reels and also one member with a collection of vintage atom plugs- some for sale. Billy D and other CSA member plugs that you can't get anywhere else. Last year bargains were really really good.

A nice church hall type winter Surfcasting get together. Get out of the house- see some pals.

Entrance is free but a $3 donation is appreciated.

Being new to this site, is it a stupid question to ask what CSA is?

Not stupid- we should use the full name.

Connecticut Surfcasters Association club. Founded in 1993 by some CT guys who started going to Cuttyhunk before it was well known and the Club grew from there. Our 20th year.

see website:

Welcome to the Connecticut Surfcasters Website (http://www.connecticutsurfcasters.com)

Great group of guys and a few female type surfcasters.
