October 2017 President's Message
Here it is October, the stripers are on the move, and some of our members are catching tautog on a regular basis. Although I have been gone for a while, I would like to thank those of you who represented the club in the Canal Cleanup, with a special thanks to Bill Cottle and Chef Joe O’Clair for the jobs they did. Also, a special thanks to those of you who commented on or attended the menhaden meeting in Bourne. Lastly, don’t forget this month’s meeting on the 25th is the Fish Supper. Make sure you get your applications in ASAP so we can order the right amount of fish to be cooked. Hope to see you there!
Thanks, and hold tight!

Environmental Report- Lou Mackeil
DMF striped bass fall tagging program. While on assignment at Saquatucket Harbor last week, a charter boat hired by DMF came in from a day's tagging off Monomoy. They tagged 80 stripers some in the 20 pound class. Good day's fishing. Had to ask what lures, etc. they used. Parachute jigs and diamond jigs. Had to ask which worked best, the diamond jigs. Good info if one wants to go out there for bass.
2017 Canal Cleanup
Chairman Bill Cottle led Twenty-two Salties at Midway Park on September 30th for the Salties annual Canal Clean-up. Fueled by morning coffee and donuts they gathered more than a pickup truck full of trash filled bags. One member actually found fifteen dollars in cash at the canal; and then donated it to the club to help defray the costs of the outing.
Although rain was expected, the sun came out in rime for the afternoon barbecue. It was prepared by our chefs Joe O'Claire (not shown at left because he was also the photographer), Steve Israelian, Joe Apiscopa, and Joe Branzetti. A great time was had by all the members participating in this annual environmental project.

September Meeting Speaker
Captain Jeff Orcutt - Avid Angler Fishing Charters
Jeff has been fishing since childhood; and his family has been close to the sea, as a 30 year ownership of Barley Neck Sea Farms, an Oyster grant, can testify. Avid Angler Charters (AAC) fishes for Squid, Bass, Blues, Black Sea Bass, Albies, and Tuna in local waters.Jeff transports his boat to where the fish are biting. For example, Stripers off Provincetown and Tuna off Chatham. Jeff is offering a 20% discount for new customers and also a discount for Salties members. AAC takes up to four anglers for about $100 per hour. Tuna trips run twice that amount. More information can be found on his website.
