Dr. Jim McCully is an avid saltwater flyfisherman who has been harassing the redfish in the tidal zone backwaters of northeast Florida for the past 20 years. On retirement he went to a nearby college library to find the answers to some puzzling aspects of the coastal tides. He found that no one had ever written a book on the tides for laymen, and so, he decided to write one himself. His book, Beyond the Moon: A Conversational, Common Sense Guide to Understanding the Tides was chosen by the Scientific American Book Club in 2006, it is now found in 125 college libraries, and it is sold at The Midshipman Store at the U.S. Naval Academy.

Captain Joe Mustari has been fishing the waters of New York Harbor for 25 years. Born on Staten Island, he started out fishing the small ponds around his home for large mouth bass and blue gills, but soon became a die hard jetty and surf fisherman. He found out early on that the waters surrounding the busiest city in the world were just teaming with stripers and blues. It wasn’t long before he made the transition from beach to boat. Always pushing the limits of light tackle, he eventually fell in love with the fly rod and became vastly proficient at catching all species that the bays, rivers and ocean had to offer. A Certified Coast Guard Captain, Joe Maz or “Maz Man” as he is known in the fishing community, has been guiding anglers to what some say is possibly one of the best fisheries on the East Coast. He has been featured on ESPN and Versus (OLN) outdoor networks and has been written about in outdoor books and magazines. He welcomes all levels of experience from expert to beginners, especially kids. He has been teaching kids about fishing conservation, fly tying, and fly fishing for the past eight years.

Rich Murphy began fly fishing for striped bass in the 1970s, and is obsessed with catching striped bass on flies. He's made an art of it, creating an imaginative series of herring—and crustacean-imitating fly patterns that look good enough to eat. Murphy doesn't use a boat yet routinely catches huge stripers from banks, flats, open beaches and rocks. Rich Murphy is a completely self-taught saltwater fly fisher. Rich will present his "New Striper Flies". In which he will give generalized review of how a striper uses her sound detecting (inner ear and lateral line systems), scent/taste detecting (chemo-receptors within her nares, and around/in her mouth), and light detecting (eyes and vision) senses to locate and capture prey
