JULY 17th is the big day for the Hooked on Fishing Not Drugs Fishing Tournament. Kids of all ages are welcome and we will be handing out 100 free rod and reel combos to the first 100 kids to register at the event. Registration begins at 8:00 am and all kids will get a free t-shirt. The Brigantine Municipal Alliance puts on this GREAT event for the kids and this year will be no different. There will be food and prizes and plenty of fishing going on so come on down to see the smiles on the kids as they reel in the fish. Some big blues have started to show up in the surf that has been dominated by mainly king fish for the past month. Christian Laskoski nailed a 14 pound blue from the surf on a chunk of mackerel. On Wednesday we did have several reports of smaller blues hitting the surf as one of our customers had his finger bandaged up thanks to the sharp teeth of a blue. The flounder fishing has still been great with action all over but not many keepers to bring home for dinner. Joe Horan and Veronica D'Souza had three nice keepers up to 4lbs. The big catch of the week goes to Dave Holmes who was able to nail a 9lb 4oz Flatty McDaddy using a long mackerel strip. The trash fish tournament has been going well as we have had a lot of people signing up. If you go to www.garbagefish.com you can see the leaders in each division.
