Another RISAA double header

Capt. Jack Riley will lead off a double-header fishing seminar with a program on catching bluefin tuna at the next meeting of the Rhode Island Saltwater Anglers Association (RISAA), Feb. 25 at 7 p.m.

For the past 25 summers Captain Jack has been a commercial, sport, or charterboat fisherman out of Harwichport on Cape Cod. Earlier, he fished the offshore waters south of Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Block Island, and Montauk out of Point Judith.

His seminar will feature tactics for finding and landing school bluefin.

The next seminar, “Sinkers, Jigs & Rigs: Making Your Own” will feature a trio of speakers, Dave Fewster, Steve Medeiros and Capt. Steve Travisono.

Making your own sinkers and jigs is an enjoyable winter pastime, says Steve Medeiros. "This seminar will show you all the basics to get started, including equipment needed and where to purchase it; how to get scrap lead; how to pour lead; how to paint jigs and how to tie your own bucktail jigs," he writes.

"Dozens of projected images will show you the step-by-step process involved, so that you can make your own."

The seminars are held at the West Valley Inn on Blossom Street in West Warwick and are open to everyone. A $10 donation to the RISAA Marine Fisheries Scholarship Fund is requested from nonmembers.
