Yarmouth Fishing Reef Enhancement Program
Secretary Randall Sherman and Chairman of the Yarmouth Fishing Reef Ecosystem Project sent along the following update to the Reef Project status..
- The final version of the reef structure mold is now available' It adds a base to the triangle pictured in last month's Newsletter. Additional copies of this mold are now needed as the project moves forward.
- Robert Orr has been identified as the contractor responsible for 'barging' reef materials to the sight.
- Randall has secured an agreement with the town for allowing the unused demolition material from the Bass River Railroad Bridge removal to be used for the Yarmouth Reef.
Herring Run Update
A new fish ladder will be installed at the Herring Run site. Besides facilitating the movement of migrating fish into the pond, the new ladder will allow for a higher pond height. This excess water can be released as the young herring fry make their way out of the pond returning to the ocean. The release of additional water into the stream will increase its depth, making it easier for the fry to make it to Nantucket Sound.
Friends of Bass River Speak at the August Salties Meeting
The Friends of Bass River, is a newly-formed nonprofit dedicated to protecting the delicate ecosystem of the Bass River Estuarine System. Ryan Mann, the organization's Executive Director and pictured below spent some time with the Salties educating us on who they are and what their mission is. Since their mission, "through monitoring, vigilance and direct management, preserve and protect Bass River’s delicate ecosystem", is aligned to our ideals; it is safe to assume that we can collaborate on Bass River efforts in the future. A $100. donation was approved by the membership for the organization. Detailed information can be found on their website: www.

August Meeting Speaker
Bill Hurley - Hurley Lures
Bill is not only an avid fisherman and lure developer, he also spends much of his water time under the water diving. Bill reported on several of his observations including:
- He sees a great deal more Black Sea Bass than ever
- Provincetown harbor is nearly baron of fish
- Race Point Striped Bass population normal and Fluke starting to show
- Water temperature around Provincetown last year was in the eighties
- Bass over 60" off Coast Guard Beach
- Large Bluefish floating vertically looking for Sand Eels
He took us through many of the lures he developed such as his paddle tails, sand eel imitations, striper magnets, Atlantic Eels, and Canal Killers. His plastics are all impregnated with fish and eel scents. Bill stresses lure movement over color in his development process. Bill also informed us of a new product, Super Glue Gel, which works well for mounting eyes and repairing soft plastic lures. Throughout his talk, he distributed samples of his lures to the appreciative audience.
