I am sorry to announce that John Zaia passed away after a long illness on 6/23/11. John was a long time fisherman and camper on Plum Island.
John also was a member of the MBBA for many years.
He was known as Johnny Z to all on the beach.

Although I did not know John, my condolences to his family and extended beach family.

John was a character and he had many stories to tell after fishing that beach for over 50 years. He gave us a PI Surfcaster pin from 1967 and showed us some great pics of his rigs thru the years. The last time I saw him was the last day of the season last year. He was hauling in bass like always. He knew how to fish that beach and he fished the heck out of it. I will miss Jonny and his rig this year. Rest in Peace Johnny Z!
