Surf fish mostly ceder,gilgo demp area.A few of us travel to Montauk ad pointswest numerous times.A few salty fly,me included,which weare trying to expand ,as well as Kayak and sweetwatr fly.For a small club we do well in the state standings.Fee is 25 per year which includes a T shirt ad a few gatherings.I will be arranging for guest speakers and tradesmen at future meetings.First meeting around end of january
I have to add some thoughts here.Were looking to expand and include more family type fising and activities,kinda perpetuate the species.LOL,.Ive been emailed by a few who are concerned about the points thing for tourneys.The emphasis is on fun and education and more fun.There is no pressure to gather points.Our guys have many years of fishing to share with others.Many of your local fisherman have passed thru here. ^

Hagar, forgive me but in this day and age why belong to a club? Aside from the friendships in which you can acommplish on the beach itself, the poitics invovled which make internet fishing boards look like kindergarten, the cut throat competition, the clicks, the Roberts Rules on debating a subject, if you object your out of order crap. Only newbies looking for quick and easy answers join nowadays. Those old timers that still stay to themselves only share to one another anyway. Club or no club put your time in and answers will follow. Prospector

Prospector, I belong to the Freeport Tuna Club and can tell you 1st. hand that a LOT of information is shared among members. There is also a certain amount of information that is not shared as well, it's a game, and yes, there is competition.
This may not apply so much to surfcasters, but if you are out on the water you can never know too many people, you never know when something might happen and you may require a helping hand.
Many times, esp. when inshore fishing, information is shared on where the fish are biting. I have been in the bays, inlet, and out in deeper water where fellow club members might be catching and they will let other members know where they are, and what they are doing. This can sometimes make for a good day in what otherwise may have turned out a not so good day.
Our club is also very family oriented and have many functions, derbys, etc. for the kids, weekly BBQ's to exchange information, crew up with other members, etc.
The Freeport Tuna Club has been around for over 60 years, and is a very well respected club, not just on Long Island, but on the whole East Coast. I suggest you visit www.ftcfishing.com not only to learn about our club, but what clubs may offer in general. Take a look at our club records, many of which are I.G.F.A. records, we have a LOT of good fisherman, some of the best around, and you can learn a LOT from these guys.
Tight lines,
MakoMatt
