The feedback received from members is a major factor in our planning for 2001. The frustrations expressed by some over tasked volunteers are also a factor. While the details need to be finalized, the present direction is: George Fruh's Weigh-In ReportWe have new leaders for catching Sea Bass, Blackfish and Fluke.
Fish-of-the-Month AwardThe September Fish-of-the-Month award goes to Bob Mueller with a 3 pound 13 ounce Sea Bass caught on 9 September 2000.The October/November Fish-of-the-Month is Striped Bass. Fishing Tips and Fishing Reports on our club's web site (by Dave Sikorski)The VHFC Website has been updated in nearly all areas. We made a lot of progress this year.The Fishing Tips area is the portion of the site that still needs the most work. You all have your favorite techniques for out-smarting your favorite fish. We need your inputs to share on the web with other members. Please take the time and send one or two tips to : VHFCInfo@aol.com. I would also like to add fishing reports to this area, but the reports would have to come from the club members as well. We could share a wealth of knowledge on the Website. Give the web site a chance, check it out, and send us your inputs and suggestions and ideas. Surf Fishing Tournament (by Steve Cook)October 14th, the day for the Village Harbour Surf Tournament, is rapidly approaching. There is still plenty of space left on the beach and in the restaurant for any member that would like to register and participate.It promises to be a fun-filled and educational day. For those who never really got into surf fishing and always wanted to try it, this would be a great time to see what it's all about. Some of the saltier surf fishing members will help the novices. Some may use plugging rods, some may use surf rods to heave live bait and sinkers and some may use both. If any member has already registered and now cannot make it, please let a committee member know as we have to let the Gateway Restaurant know how many members will be attending the group luncheon following the tournament. If any member has any questions or needs further information about this event, please feel free to call the chairman or any committee member.

On Saturday, October 28 we will take the fleet to one of the artificial reefs located within close proximity of Long Beach Island.

WARNINGS FROM THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY (by Dick Vesper) The fish and wildlife people have published advice to the general population which I have interpreted for our local waters as best as I could. What it tells me is "do not eat (locally caught stripers, American eels and bluefish over 6 pounds) more than once a week." CLUB DISCOUNTSSeveral local merchants offer discounts on merchandise to club members. Click here to view this year's VHFC Club Discounts |
