2011 Program Schedule

Chris Shoplock

January 17th, 2012

Chris Shoplock of Osprey Outdoors Adventures, LLC, a fisherman since throwing his first fly at age 4 in Idaho trout water, suffers from what can only be described as Fishing Attention Deficit Disorder. Kayak, beach, lake, river, salt, fresh, spin-casting, fly-casting, and conventional casting are all methods he employs. One day Chris saw a teenage kayaker catch a 60-pound striper on a med weight pole while he watched fishless from the beach. He promptly bought a kayak and began exploring the unlikely jewel that is the NJ Estuarine and Salt Water environment. He liked best the back sod banks and fly-fishing for stealthy weakfish, savage bluefish and the mighty striped bass. He also began launching into the surf and fishing the big striper migrations in the early spring and late fall. Chris’ surf fishing pursuits have been immeasurably valuable in translating how inshore trophy fisheries can be explored and experienced by kayakers with relatively little effort. Chris fishes from Jamaica Bay, NY to Island Beach State Park, NJ and most points in between over 120 days a year. He is intimately familiar with a multitude of launch spots and the correct tides and times to find fish there. He is most at home kayaking at night in a quiet back-bay estuary listening for bass slurping dinner. He is an outdoor writer for On The Water Magazine and a dedicated catch and release fisherman.

Brad Buzzy

February 21th, 2012

Brad will make a fly tying presentation. He will start by showing a few of his fly tying videos that are between 5-7 minute long and then tie the fly for everyone. With the use of a video camera, Brad will be able to show his tying techniques for all to see and follow. For those members who would like to know how to process deer tails, Brad will do a short video that will go over what you do when you get a tail from a friend that has been split and salted to cleaning and basic stove-top dying. I will also address some of the questions he gets about tails and try to educate everyone on what to look for in a tail and how to care for them.
