At our
May 9th meeting (2008), Jim Hutchinson Sr. unveiled an annual tribute to our dearly
departed friend Captain Melanie Boytos. Captain Melanie, also known as the Fisherqueen, was a close friend this club. Many of our members enjoyed the
pleasure of fishing with her in the Barnegat Inlet area. This tribute will be in
the form of an annual award for the
VHFC angler of the year. Since Captain Melanie primarily fished for Fluke,
Weakfish, Striped Bass and Bluefish, the award will be based on catching one of
each of these coveted species. In our area, catching all four of these species
is known as a Grand Slam (or Inshore Slam). Points will be awarded based on the
size of the fish, and the club angler who has the most points at the end of the
year, will win the award for that year. The rules are available by clicking the
link above as well as in our June newsletter; and this year's contest will begin
on June 14, 2008. To honor Captain Mel's fishing prowess, you must complete the
Grand Slam by weighing in at least one of each species over the course of the
year to be eligible to win.
Also at our May 9th meeting, we learned that the Chum Bucket (one or our club's
sponsors and weigh-in stations) has started a new web site with an interactive
Forum. I checked with Skip and John at the Chum Bucket, and they said we could
use this forum to share current fishing information. I encourage all VHFC
members to join this forum, so we can share our experience in a more timely and
interactive manner. All you have to do is go to the website
http://www.thechum-bucket.com/forum/ and click on the button labeled "Message Board",
then click Register. After you register, go to the Talk about Fishing forum to
find out what's happening and tell us what you have done.
