Connecticut Surfcasters Feb Meeting Tim Coleman on Block

[wader-dad]

It is not my intent to keep announcing CSA meetings like a broken record- but its not every day that you get to hear Tim Coleman talk about Block Island. Mostly a question and answer format - informal.

Meeting is next Wednesday February 1, at 7 pm- location is about half a mile before the usual spot - in another Town of Madison CT meeting spot (used to be the old Town Hall on Route 1).

I will post directions. No fee to get in, don't have to be a member. If you come early enough you can stop at Rivers End on the way.

For future planning in case anyone is interested-

March 6- Jimmy Fee on fishing plugs in big water
April 4 -- Pat Paquette (Basic Patrick) on fishing the Outer Banks
May 2, Advanced Wetsuiting seminar by CSA members

The club guys catch big fish and I catch the speakers. Should be the other way around.

Well you have proven to be a Jedi Master....

[wader-dad]

I volunteered you for the wetsuiting seminar- so you need to do that.

Huh?..... lol

A couple others as well right ??

[wader-dad]

Yes I am just starting to form the Wet Suiting Zulu Bravo Task Force- 4 or 5 guys. So don't worry you will have plenty of company. But we need you.

I wish it wasn't so far for me to drive I would love to hear Tim speak

Great talk. Tim even dropped a spot in CT that I have always debated trying out. His "slip" last night about that spot has me set on fishing it this season.

Here's one story he left out.
I assume everyone has heard of "hungrys." It's a term that applies to people who really want a big fish and do all they can to get one.
Well, Tim flew over to Block Island one night and was fishing the west side, and ran into Art Lavallee, who asked if he was coming back to the Curtiss house for something to eat. This was late, late at night.
Tim said, "No, I brought something."
Then he proceeded to pull out two McDonald's hamburgers from his raincoat that were stale, ice cold and damp and ate them on the spot, instead of taking a break from the fishing. Art said they looked disgusting.
Tim's a mild-mannered guy and gentleman, but don't let that fool you - he wanted it as bad as anyone.

Today the giant size snickers fill the hungries and are also a great snack at 3 am... you can stick them right in your bag and swim all night long then open up an eat them,,, every once in a while you will get a leaker,,, But I still eat them too,,,,


Can't say enough how nice it was to hear the stories... I talked to Frank quite a bit... Nice guy.... Hopefully someday in my lifetime I will see that with fish over 40# consistently...
