Wednesday Meeting September 2

The Red Drum Challenge that
was held on Saturday, August !5, at Whittaker Pointe
Marina in Oriental netted $526 for BBBS. Jerry Manfredi
provided the details.
The program for the evening
was four “How To” sessions running approximately 10
minutes each.
Bob Bruggeworth demonstrated
how to properly toss various sizes of cast nets out in
the parking lot.
Wayne Massetti showed how to
properly snell a hook and how to make a “Lupton” rig for
big red drum.
Terry Meier and Elmer Stenzel
talked about proper flounder fishing techniques. And
Jerry Manfredi closed out the session with a
demonstration on how to test for ethanol in boat fuel.
Our October 7th
meeting at Red Sail Park will be both traditional and
non-traditional. We will be holding our third
consecutive BBBS auction with our ace Huckster, Elmer
Stenzel presiding. As in the past all spouses and guests
are also welcome to attend. The auction will commence
after our non-traditional picnic. This year instead of
our usual Pig Pickin’, Wayne Massetti has planned for a
Burger&Sausage motif hosted by the Bridgeton Butcher,
Mike Gaudy and his wife Vanessa. The cost will be $8.50
per plate and once again will be supplemented with hors
d’oeuvres and deserts provided by our members and
spouses. Wayne will be on hand to take your reservations
and $ at the meeting. Soda, ice tea, beer and wine will
be provided by the Club.
There have been 11 rooms
reserved at the Ocracoke Harbor Inn for 5/17 to 5/21 for

The photos are in. Henry Hudak and Bob Bruggeworth (the
photographer) had a great day on Gus Villanova's
Mistress. Bob reports: "The three Dolphin weighed
12,11 & 7 pounds. The Sail fish hit a Spanish Mackerel
that we had caught earlier that morning and Gus
Villanova rigged up on a red&white skirt. Henry Hudak
was the skilled angler who caught the tail walking Sail

photo."
