The movie The Finest Hour is being screened at the MV Film Society Jan 29-31.  It depicts the heroic rescue of the crew of a stricken oil tanker in 1952 by a Coast Guard Crew from Chatham.  The Jan 31st,  4:00 PM screening is being sponsored by several island organizations, including the MV Derby.  Members of the Coast Guard, both past and present will be on hand for that screening, and will discuss the movie/take questions from the audience.  Nelson sent me a note about the sponsored event, to let the club know that tickets will sell out fast.  Please see the MV Times writeup in today’s paper  http://www.mvtimes.com/2016/01/20/screening-of-the-finest-hours-will-honor-station-menemsha-crew/

and the MV Film Society web site to purchase tickets http://mvfilmsociety.com/2016/01/the-finest-hours/

The derby Gods have spoken and the Norton Pont Breach is now wide open again. It opened sometime on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 30th. The breach is now about 50 feet wide and a large amount of current passing through it. If you are fishing there during the derby please be extremely careful as the sand is very soft and somewhat like quicksand within 10 feet of the water's edge. No fish is worth risking your life.

Check out the photo link below to see what  it looked like today, 9/30.

Mother nature has spoken and the derby now has a new twist!

Fish on and be safe!

Folks

 

A couple of updates from the club:

 

· Today the MV Surfcasters made a $1000 donation to the 7’th annual American Heroes Saltwater Challenge.  We’ve been supporting this event financially and with a large volunteer team at the East Beach outing for the soldiers and families.  The event takes place Oct 12-15 this year.  More details to follow re: the East Beach outing.

· Would encourage the club members to consider making a personal donation as well.  Please refer to the following link:

http://www.saltwaterchallenge.org/

·  The Surfcasters and Larry’s Tackle got together and purchased a pier fish landing net for the new OB fish pier.  The net will be set up at the pier tomorrow and removed at the end of the Derby

· There was a typo in the recently distributed email version of the Aug newsletter, incorrectly listing the min striped bass weigh-in as 34”, it’s 32”. (The MVSA Newsletter in the BLOG section of the MVSA website has been corrected)

·  There are still several fillet shifts open during the Derby as follows: PM shifts - 9/15, 17, 22, 24, 29, and 10/1 & 8 (8:00-10:00PM) as well as AM shifts on 10/8, 9, 10, & 15 (8:00-10:00AM).  It’s a great opportunity to represent both the Surfcasters & the Derby.  If interested please contact Phil Horton or you can reply through the CONTACT US page on the MVSA website and Phil will be notifiedu.       

The grand prize Eastern boat arrived on island this AM.  Pictures can be found on the Derby FB page.  It’s a beauty.

 

Wishing you all an enjoyable and safe Derby, go catch ‘em Surfcasters.

 

Phil

The MVSA once again designed a fishing exhibit for the 2015 Martha's Vineyard Agricultural Fair. There was a lot of hard work put into this great exhibit to highlight the history of fishing and the importance of it to all ages.

This exhibit won a blue ribbon for the Best Fishing Exhibit at the AG Fair!

Thanks to all those involved in putting this together and helping to spread the importance of fishing and the long term support that the MVSA club has to this sport. 

Great job by all involved!
