VAC Weighmasters Ryan Noland and Larry Allen want to reduce the number of scales they have to certify at the February Membership Meeting.  They are willing to do special certifications for multiple scales early.

If you and a couple of fellow Anglers can gather your scales together and come up with a group of scales for early certification, then please contact Ryan.  Ryan will work with you to set up a convenient place and time for your early certifications.  

Please remember to be sure your scales are in working order and the barrels are oil free so the certification stickers will adhere.

Andrew Campbell won the 17 day-long December Striper Tournament with a 12-6 striper on 8 # fly as a points entry worth 206 points. Andrew spent four skunk-accompanied days in the lower bay looking for stripers.  Finally, he got word that the fish were further up in the bay and that is where he caught his winning entry.

Meet at the Pony Pasture parking lot for a morning of wade fishing. Light tackle fishing for sunfish and bass, or fly fishing, or cat fishing. Whatever your passion is. Closed toes shoes are best for wading (old tennis shoes are best). Don’t bring anything that can’t get wet. Pony Pasture offers pretty good fishing early in the morning, but as it gets into the late morning, people start to show up in droves. We’ll get in at 6:00 AM, get out at 11:00 AM and possibly grab a bite to eat
afterwards so bring a change of clothes.
