FREE “SUPER SURF CASTING SEMINAR”
Saturday, October 6, 2007
Ship Bottom Beach, 9 AM to 1 PM

We met at 9:00 a.m. at the Chamber of Commerce on 9th Street in Ship Bottom for door prizes, coffee, and bagels, then went to the Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Co. No. 1 Station on 21st Street and Central Avenue where the Surf City Anglers, a local fishing club,  generously shared their knowledge of surf fishing equipment, surf casting, bait, driving a 4x4 vehicle on the beach, and much more. We took the seminar out to the beach at 17th Street in Ship Bottom for hands-on instruction. 

The weather was fantastic! The seminar was well attend.

See you all next year!
