Welcome to the PYC Website!

Meet & Greet - Sunday May 20th at 2:00 - 4:00pm


Commodore Len Walker Sr. invites all members to a Meet and Greet get-together on Sunday May 20th at 2:00 - 4:00pm.  The primary purpose is so our many newer members can meet all the members and ask any questions they might have is a fun social event (appetizers will be served.)  Officers will also be there to answer any questions in respect to the marina and completion dates.

All members should try to come - for this event we're even going to issue name badges and encourage you to seek out new (and old) members you don't know and get to know them.

While not an open house, members may also bring prospective members and local neighborhood leaders will be invited.

Fishing


 

From Jim Stacy Jr, P.Y.C. Fishing Committee --

Fishing is off to a great start. If Spring Blackfish is any indication of what the 2012 season will look like we may be in for the best season in many years. Bunker have been spotted in Milford and New Haven with a solid Striped Bass holdover population. Winter Flounder are being caught out there as well.

We set up a PYC page on Facebook dedicated to fishing reports and pictures. It's an open group. Anyone can click "like" on the page to follow it and get updates. Please feel free to post pics and results on it. The link is http://www.facebook.com/PequonnockYachtClubFishing .Please share this link with your nonmember angler friends and other club anglers. Updates of the season long contest will be posted there as well.

Some rule changes to promote catch and release of smaller fish include the following minimums on specific species as agreed upon in the last Fishing Committee meeting: Striped Bass need to be 42" for the board, Bluefish minimum weight is 12 pounds and Weakfish minimum is 5 pounds.

Entry fees are $30 for members, spouses, children and grandchildren of members. $40 for non members and guests. You MUST sign up 24 hours BEFORE you catch and weigh in any fish. Fish must be weighed in at PYC. See Scoops or a committee member to sign up. Weekend contests will be communicated once the marina is back in order. We plan to have several this season.

Finally, please take a look at the great raffle prizes sponsored by the Fishing Committee. There is a great 19" flat screen with a built in DVD player and also the newest Ugly Stick Jigging setup with a ShimanoTR200 reel and preloaded with 50 pound Powerpro braided line. This is a perfect LI Sound setup for many species. Dee's Bait in New Haven is working with us to provide these combos at a discounted cost. We hope to turn them over monthly or so if there is enough of a demand. Different setups will follow. Tickets are $5 each or 3 tickets for $10. See a Committee member, Scoops or a bartender.

Any new anglers or members interested in learning the ropes of LI Sound Fishing can always contact a Fishing Committee member. There are many member anglers happy to take newbies and kids out to learn the basics.

See you at the club. Fish on!
