It won’t be long, the first migrating schoolies will here and the long wait will be over. Until then join us in celebration of surf fishing. It’s a great day to hang out, take in a seminar and just get reacquainted with some old and new surf rats. We’ll have great speakers, demonstrations, factory reps, sales, door prizes, gourmet road kill and good friends.

Tony Stetzko – demonstrating St.Croix Rods
Steve McKenna – will demonstrate how to weight Red Fins and make them more productive.
Dennis Zambrotta – will be signing “Surfcasting Around the Block”
Zeno Hromin – will show how to get the most out of the new “Surfcasters Journal”
Adam Romagna – is displaying antique striper plugs

We’ll also have reps from CTS Rods, Van Staal, Commando Surfcasting, Super Strike, Zee Baas, Line Stretcher, Tsunami, Lunker City, Pure Fishing and more. It’s free, just show up.

I go to eat. That's the best part.

"Moose" chili and last year pulled pork off the whole pig. Sure this year will be great too.

Oh yeah there is a lot of -what do they call it- Surfcasting stuff. And usually not one but 2 Mussos.

lamigsb1 02-22-2013 06:29 PM

Sounds like another good roadtrip

Surf Day is this Saturday. I urge anyone who wants to take a ride for a great free event to please come.

Lots of free advice in seminars -and just standing by and listening to Pat Abate, Dennis Z, McKenna, Dave Anderson, Musso, Stetzko, Zeno, Vito Orlando and other surprise guest legends- some of their know-how enters your brain.

Its a blast . Did I say the food is really good?

wader-dad 03-21-2013 09:02 AM

Pat is going to have the Knot testing machine at Surf Day. So you can bring some of the line you use, tie your knots and find out what pounds it breaks at. I think that machine has been making the rounds. May have been at Saltwater Edge. Guys say that its interesting. 30 pound original fireline breaks at 50?

This is one of my favorite events of the year! I'll be there with the wife and newborn in tow so look for the guy pushing the baby carriage around. :wavey:

JLH 03-21-2013 10:31 AM

Looking forward to it!

fishrick 03-21-2013 10:57 AM

"Shack-nasties" will be a driving force....could be bigger than a State Fair! Will be there for sure!

Gobi 03-23-2013 06:57 PM

Great time today. Nice to see so many friends after a long winter. Looking forward to fishing with you this summer. KM

Had a great time, lunch was awesome. Thanks guys. :)

N.ShoreFisher 03-24-2013 08:47 PM

man, I wish I didn't work weekends!

JohnR 03-24-2013 08:50 PM

I was trying to make it but I'm glad I didn't. Tire blew out on the way to dog park, spare tire dropper thingy broke. Got a new tire after walking a ways home and arrange cars, and the rim was fused to the drum. Would have sucked had this happened 50 miles from home

Zeno 03-25-2013 03:53 AM

that sounds like a nightmare boss

piemma 03-25-2013 04:09 AM

Sorry I missed it. Was going with ChrisJoe13 but ended up on a late flight out of SFO and just couldn't get up on Sat after 3 hours sleep.

It sucked. It took 90 minutes of PBBlaster, sicssor jack between the leaf spring and the wheel, and whacking the rim and prying the rim with the crow bar before it popped loose. Worse change evah (for me).

Much rather'd seen all of you

Those under truck spare tire carriers are the pits. I ran over some debris and blew a tire on 495 while hauling my 34' fifth wheel a couple of springs ago. Had to pull to the side, and drop the trailer. Couldn't get the spare to come down from it's "home" to save my life. After a couple of hours of hammering, prying, and colorful language I was able to wedge the jack between the frame and the spare. Cranking the jack finally bent the mounting ears holding the rim in place and released the tire.

I now drop the spare a couple times a year just to make sure it's not frozen up.

The spare is still stuck underneath. The rod going between the crank and the drop mechanism snapped. I couldn't get the wheel off the axle, it was frozen to the EBrake drum part of the rotor. Once it warms up I'll get the spare off ;) - I've been thinking for a while that I would do that over the spring just in case it might seize :smash::devil2::rotf2:

I see you have been properly having your tires rotated....:rotf2:

ProfessorM 03-26-2013 07:45 PM

Lol. That happened in driveway this past fall. Couldn't get the tire off the hub. Beat the he'll out of it to finally get it off and the spare was so rusted I was scared to drive on
It but it lasted for the day. Horror show all around.
