This month we are pleased to welcome Randy Beardsley, long time member of the club and an ever present threat at offshore tournaments. Randy is a native of Daytona Beach, FL and has been fishing the waters out of Ponce Inlet for over thirty years.

Randy has also won the prestigious Daytona Beach Striker/Fishstock tournament and captained his team for a win in our own Lady Angler tournament. He routinely places at the top of the board at our Annual Offshore Challenge.
This presentation will concentrate on the preparation necessary to routinely be successful at offshore fishing. Rods reels, tackle to target specific species will not only be discussed but reviewed with Randy's own equipment. Planing which species to target first based upon experience, weather, and recent local knowledge will be a highlight. Roffer's ocean temperatures charts are a large part of Randy's planning and these will be discussed at length.

BAIT RIGGING
We did this style seminar last year for the first time and it was hugely successful. It is being brought back this year by popular demand and expanded upon. We will feature nine local fisherman in a "round robin" style. Each will have their own table and participants will be able to move from table to table to observe each presentation. The presenters will be using real bait and demonstrate how they specifically rig baits for various species. The relaxed, informal atmosphere makes for a real learning experience.
Attendees will have the opportunity to not only observe but ask specifics of each speaker. The advantage here is each speaker is a well known, and respected top fisherman in our local area. They are:
Capt. Chris Corbett / Wil Evans Ballyhoo
Capt. Denny Malaki Inshore Artificial
Andy White Wire Rigs
Evan Stein Inshore Live Baits
Steve Larson Surf Rigs
Mike Buckles Ballyhoo / Artificial
Rick Ruebel Swordfish / Squid
Danny White Bottom Fishing

May 20 TARPON FISHING This month we are pleased to welcome back Captain Denny Malaki from the Fishin' Shack. Capt. Denny has spoken to the club on numerous topics in the past and most recently was on our bait rigging program we had in March. Capt. Malaki has been fishing our local waters for over thirty years. He has been a featured guide on ESPN2 and the Fox Sports Network. Pro staff with several major tackle companies and a regular on the professional tournament tours. With extensive experience fishing our local waters from the Tomoka Basin to Mosquito Lagoon, Ponce Inlet to the Gulf Stream, this month Capt. Denny will take on Tarpon fishing for us. The "Silver Gladiator", Megalops atlanticus, a.k.a. the Tarpon are the most non-discriminate big game catches in the world due to their habitat of close proximity to the shoreline. They can be taken from piers, docks, roadsides, causeways, bridges, bays, rivers, beaches, jetties, and boats. Though they have no food value, the thrill of the catch and release has few comparisons. This presentation, geared to the beginner will cover the tackle for big fish from spinning gear to fly outfits. These outfits and associated tackle will be on hand for close inspection and discussion. Baits, both live and artificial along with specific tactics will be a highlight. Targeting these giants locally from local bridges, beach's and behind shrimp boats is a speciality of Capt. Denny's and one he is willing to share. A short knot discussion along with demonstrations will cap off the evening. Spring is the time for Tarpon, be prepared this year by attending this timely and informative presentation.
