Martha’s Vineyard, MA (April 16 2003) – The Martha’s Vineyard Surfcasters
Association was treated to the expertise of professional reel technician Ray
Faini at their monthly meeting held on April 16 at the American Legion Hall in
Tisbury. Mr. Faini, one the most knowledgeable and skilled fishing reel repair
technicians on the island, presented a "how to" night for the audience. Anglers
brought in old and new reels and were taught the proper procedures for cleaning
and maintenance in anticipation of the upcoming fishing season. While Ray
conducted the hands on session other members of the organization gave
"round-robin" classes on knots, leaders, hooks & more!
The "Vineyard surfcasters", consist of men, women, boys, and girls who all share in the passion of sport fishing. Both Island residents and visitors belong to the organization which provides numerous activities that promote the sport.
The purpose of the Martha’s Vineyard Surfcasters Association is to encourage
the sport of surfcasting and interest in sport fishing; to gather for
entertainment and good fellowship; to promote and uphold sound conservation
practices and laws, and to see that these laws are properly enforced and carried
out by members; to further good sportsmanship; and to seek and protect public
access to fishing areas on Martha’s Vineyard. Membership in the non-profit group
is open to all and information about joining is contained within the website.
