April 2016 President's Message
April 2016 President’s Message
April is here, and so are the herring! Water temperatures are in the low 40’s. If we can get this up by ten degrees, the stripers that are being caught today in New Jersey will be here.
At last month’s meeting, Ryan Collins did a great job on My Fishing Cape Cod, and I wish I could have walked the 26 miles with him. This month’s meeting onApril 27 will feature Captain Bob Hovey of USCG talking about Safety and Rescue, and Off Shore Tuna.
The Annual Awards Banquet held at the beginning of March was a great success, and with 94 members attending, it was as good a crowd as we’ve had in recent years. With the great support from membership and all the tackle shops on the Cape, we made enough money to fund all the contributions that we make annually. Special thanks to all of you who helped with the gathering of prizes and working the day of the function. The 94 people who were there know who you are. Special thanks to Terry Tessein and Bill Dulude for securing prizes, Joe O’Clair and Steve Israelian for the menu and location, and to Sue and Kent Dumont, who handled the finances for the evening and then put together an excellent book afterwards showing the bid sheets and all other financial information.
The Captain Bob Luce Memorial presently has seven groups of six fishermen each in contention for the award. If you want to be on a team or start your own team of six, see below in the newsletter or reach out to Terry Tessein.
Over the weekend, members Vinny Foti and Steve Unsworth contacted me regarding the Unmanaged Forage Amendment. After discussing this with the Board of Directors, I sent an email on the issue to Julia Beaty of the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council.
If you have not seen it, the Association to Preserve Cape Cod features Cape Cod Saltie Rick Cain on the cover of their quarterly magazine Shore Lines. Rick is shown testing the temperature of the water at Long Pond in Yarmouth during his herring run counting training. Over several days in April, under the direction of Randall Sherman, the herring run from Swan Pond to Long Pond was cleaned of trees and other obstacles to make the migration of the herring easier. A few folks are making a lot of folks look good. This is a great way to get involved in your club.
In closing, forgive the repetition, but if anyone is interested in the vice-presidency, please give ma a call ASAP so we can discuss what it entails. According to the by-laws, I am done at the December meeting, so it’s important that we have someone lined up.
Thanks, and hold tight!
