Daniel Island resident Captain Greg Peralta lured in a group of fishing enthusiasts at the Daniel Island Library on March 12 for a class on how to make the most of your time on the water. Captain Greg shared with the group his tips on finding the best holding areas for fish, creating effective lures and knots, proper depth transitions, and more. But the day’s program had a special, underlying purpose. Moved by a story in The Daniel Island News about a memorial fund set up at the library in honor of the late Lucy Boyle, daughter of Library Branch Manager Tim Boyle, Captain Greg asked participants to make dona- tions of any size to the fund. A picture of a smiling Lucy sat on a table at the head of the class as a reminder of the day’s efforts.
