River End Tackle, located in Old Saybrook, CT, has finalized the 2014 Striper Surf Day line-up. The yearly celebration of everything striper surf fishing is scheduled to take place at the shop, located at 440 Boston Post Road, on Saturday, March 22, from 10 AM to 4 PM. It’s a great day to hang out, take in a seminar and tell some lies with fellow surf rats. There will be a slew of great speakers with an emphasis on how-to demonstrations, factory reps, sales, door prizes, gourmet road kill and good friends.
The current list of featured surfcasters and demonstrations are as follows:
Bill Wetzel is a legendary Montauk guide and will be giving a seminar on “Reading the Water”. Bill’s knowledge and delivery will have you leaving for the beach immediately.
Steve McKenna will be conducting a seminar entitled “The Top 10 Surf Lures” and will also be demonstrating how to load Redfins and Northbar Bottle Darters.
Toby Lapinski will demonstrate how to make the classic rigged eel.
Dennis Zambrotta will demo how to rig eel bobs as well as show you how to fish with teasers. He’ll also be signing copies of his book “Surfcasting Around the Block”
Dave Anderson will demo the online magazine “Surfcasters Journal”
Adam Romagna is displaying antique striper plugs and can help ID and appraise your old lures.
Shimano will demonstrate their new line of surf rods and reels.
There will also be reps on hand from CTS Rods, Van Staal, Commando Surfcasting, Super Strike, Zee Baas, Tsunami, Lunker City, Pure Fishing, Guppy Lures and more. As always the day is free and open to the public. See you there!
