Jimmy hails from Long Island and has been catching cows from shore and boat since the 70’s. Using the most basic of tackle and intensive in-depth knowledge of striped bass behavior he’s been able to consistently score cows.
Besides Jimmy they’ll be demonstrations by members featuring fly tying, plug building, making soft plastics, rigged eels and better catch and release techniques and more.
They’ll also be on hand reps from Van Stall, ODM, Darkstar Surfcasting, The Surfcaster, ZeeBaas, Tsunami, Century Rods plus many other tackle and lure makers plus antique plug displays and used tackle at bargain prices including some Connecticut Yankee plugs.
Admission is a $5 donation, kids under 14 are free.
Hope to see you all there.
I have read and re-read Billy's book a hundred times. If you have never read it, pick it up. If you have been obsessed with the 7 stripe fish, like me, the book is like a trip to wonderland.

No boat, back in the suds.
