Wednesday February 1st at 7PM at the Old Memorial Town Hall in Madison, CT
The Connecticut Surfcasters Association are hosting guest speaker Alfred Anuszewski of the well known Campo's Crew. Campo's crew fished during the Block Island heyday in the early 1980's, these influences have shaped most of what our surf gear is built on today, the premise of "it better be able to take abuse" from bags to reels, through wired plugs and modifications of gear. It was the beginning of a revolution which continues today as surfcasters up and down the coast are constantly pushing the limits and making modifications to their gear.

Excerpt from Dennis Zambrotta's Surfcasting Around the Block, chapter 3

“Red Fins continued to take some huge bass for the crew and then on
Thanksgiving night Alfred landed what is perhaps the largest striped
bass ever taken on a Red Fin, 61 ¼ pounds. It was the largest of 23 bass from 37 to 61 pounds that Alfred Anuszewski and Marty McMillan tallied that night. The next night they had 21 more cow bass topped off with a 51 released by Alfred. It is fair to assume that based on the phenomenal fishing the crew had on two successive Thanksgiving days that they all had much to be thankful for.”

This meeting is free and open to the public, see you there.
