Our purpose is to be both an educational club and a social club. Club fishing trips are social events and the best way to put into practice everything we talk about at our formal club meetings. Come out and learn from fellow club members.
These trips are open to all club members (at no charge.) Bring your own bait and lures. Remember that all Junior trips (announced on the club forum and via email) are also open to all club members. Juniors trips are not listed here.
July 16: Tuesday evening club meeting at 7pm: Fishing the Plum Island Beachfront. Meet at Plum Island airport. Directions.
Aug. 20: Tuesday evening club meeting at 7 pm: Fishing the Plum Island Beachfront or perhaps the Wildlife Refuge. Meet at Plum Island airport. Directions.

How many people know that there are wild brook trout in southeastern Massachusetts, or know that they may be passing over a brook trout stream on their way to and from work?
Most people from the South Shore suburbs of Boston, Cape Cod, or the South Coast cities of Fall River and New Bedford would be surprised to learn that southeastern Massachusetts was once a popular trout fishing destination.
Given a chance with stream improvement and dam removal, salter populations can rebound quickly and fish can grow to a typical 12 -14’’ size in a few years, providing excellent angling opportunities once again. ~~ Warren Winders (from www.searunbrookie.org)
Please join us on Tuesday, June 18, 2019 for another great angling seminar. Our monthly meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at the Salisbury, MA Hilton Senior Center, (43 Lafayette Rd., Salisbury, MA). The doors open at 6:45 PM. Dinner is served at prices that will not break the bank. The club meeting starts at 7:15 PM. After the meeting, we have a seminar by a featured angler. Seminars are free for club members; there is a $5.00 charge for non-members. Membership information is available here.
We are relocating to the Salisbury, MA Hilton Senior Center for the May 2019 club meeting. All future meetings will take place at this new location.
Bob Busch, a Hampton resident and longtime PI Surfcasters member, passed away late last week unexpectedly. Bob was an active member frequently attending meetings and our annual banquet where he generously donated the drinks for many years. As a boat fisherman, his knowledge was unsurpassed as he caught many 50+lb keeper stripers. It was at his request we employ the American Littoral Society to help with the MRWC’s work to get waste water facilities to give advance warning of discharges into the Merrimack. He will be missed.
Bob was also an advocate for organ donations and was very active with New England donrs. He spoke to the club about being an organ donor and many club members signed up as organ donors after his passionate presentation.
