This past Wednesday, June 2^nd, the DCMSSA Chapter celebrated its one-year anniversary. The chapter is alive and thriving, always looking for ways to increase its membership and publicity. In it’s inaugural year, the chapter has hosted great guest speakers, and held a successful fishing trip. The chapter continually looks to further expand, please help spread the word! Pretty soon, the chapter will begin raffle prizes based on attendance, so be sure to come on out to the meetings!

Our guest speaker this past week was Captain Ken Lahr, owner of Reel Draggin’ Tackle, established in 1995. Captain Ken shared his wealth of knowledge, providing us a thorough presentation on tips and tricks for catching tuna offshore. This presentation was just in time, as many anglers are gearing up for the 21^st Annual MSSA Tuna-Ment. Captain Ken, a career DoD acoustics expert, shared many tips on how to rig properly spreader bars in a manner that will draw the big tuna into the center of your spread. He also explained the evolution of tuna tactics in the recent past. The necessary size of spreads when hunting tuna has actually decreased over the past few years. Captain Ken demonstrated how to properly equip your spread with birds and teasers, making multi-line spreads irresistible to tuna targets. A lot of equipment was presented at the meeting to get a first hand look at the quality tackle. For further information, including the ordering of all sorts of tackle ranging from spreader bars to custom rods, give Reel Draggin’ Tackle’s online shop a serious look! www.reeldraggintackle.com.
