Speaker:
This month we are going to continue with some offshore information and techniques. We are pleased to welcome a first time speaker, Captain Les Clemmer, from Martha Marie Charters out of Lewes, Delaware. He fishes the Atlantic Ocean and the Delaware Bay for just about every specie of fish you can imagine. Capt. Les offers a wide variety of trips from ½ day inshore fishing to overnight tuna and shark trips. He will speak to us about chunking for tuna, shark and give us some tips on wreck fishing. Les will be happy to answer any questions we may have and will provide us with many tips he has learned over the years.
You can visit his website at marthamariecharters.com for complete information on his packages. Let's all welcome Captain Les to our meeting and show him why we are one of the top chapters of the MSSA.

We are pleased to have Wayne Hoffman, one of our own members this month as our vendor and he owns and operates Catch-All Tackle locally. Wayne carries a wide variety of offshore tackle for all you blue water fish. He has some nifty items for tuna, dolphin and sailfish. He'll be happy to make or get any lures you may want or desire and best of all he right in Mt. Airy, MD. Wayne will be happy to answer and questions about his tackle and give you some fishing tips, as he fishes quite a bit offshore himself.
