Most tournaments for charity have low buy-ins. Your local paper should have a lists of what's going on in your area each week. They are for a good cause, and they pay out relatively well. It's a great time to practice! There is one in my area this weekend for a friend who lost his life in the Cancer battle. We are donating the money to Cancer. Also most companies like my own donate lots of great prizes so you can walk away with some great new gear!

I like to fish more than my husband!!! 40 Tournament this weekend!

Does anyone have any advice for me?

That's awsome. It's so great to have pictures of that.... I never would have believed that was even possible to be that big!

I had never seen that before. It's pretty neat to watch. They were making thier own little whirlpool with an eye to the storm and everything!

Do we think that the high temps on the East Coast are affecting the abundance, or lack thereof, of Striped Bass being caught?

It was crazy and beautiful to watch all at one time! They really did bring in some nice catches too! Here is a picture of one group.

Each year during the Fall Season, massive schools of peanut bunker, on thier migration to the south, leave the rivers and bays, invading the New Jersey beaches. I am not sure if this is an East Coast thing or if it's just a Jersey thing. Striped bass and other gamefish take advantage of this easy meal and beef up close to our shores. It's a great time to catch both the fish and the Free Live Bait!

Atlantic Highlands Marina was the perfect site for this weekend's Hi-Mar's 40 Hour Striped Bass Tourney. These are just some of the catch!

Well, there you have it! Thanks guys! I never thought about using actual shrimp before. Seems sort of mean. No?

I've never used sand fleas before...what are those?

We think Green Crabs work best this time of year. What do YOU think?

My Husband... That's why I threw him back and am still single!

Thanks! She is a supermodel.... the Naomi Campell of supermodels... She's fiesty. She is an amazing swimmer though. There is a lake by my house and I let her go in and she just goes nuts. I would love to see if she could catch a fish in her mouth. I bet she could. She's quick and her teeth are deadly. She's pure and has a lot of that wolf in her.

HaHa! I did hear that through the grapevine! I also heard you are trying to get rid of me! Obviously my business is my profile, but I am really trying to learn. I sit in front of a computer all day and yet I work about three blocks from the ocean. I work too much to go there and learn hands on so this is my research. My business partner has been in the business for 19 years and is an avid fisherman. I am just trying to educate myself to keep up. I've been fishing a few times, but I have never caught a darn thing! I am trying!

Thanks! I guess that's logical, but I never thought of it before. I just watched one of your videos. It looks so different on a lake. I am used to the waves of the ocean and big commercial boats.

Why do you think there have been a lot of records broken recently? Are they just getting bigger? Is there something in the water? Haha!

This article was in my local news the other day. I am new to fishing and I was wondering what a "combination butterfish-squid bait" was. Anyone? Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 10/12/07 Joseph Sanzone became the state's newest record-holder, when the Pompton Lakes resident's 18-pound, 7-ounce gray tilefish was confirmed as a state record late last week. Sanzone was bottom fishing on Sept. 9 in Toms Canyon when he hooked into the gray tilefish, which hit a combination butterfish-squid bait. The fish measured 35 inches long with a 24-inch girth. Sanzone had a St. Croix rod and a Penn reel with 65-pound test. The gray tilefish is typically found in depths of 200-1,400 feet. Usually found south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, they live in burrows and sometimes congregate in small groups. The previous N.J. record for gray tilefish was set in 2001, for a 10-pound, 9-ounce fish caught at the Sea Girt Reef.
