The striper are here and blitzing! There have been 10 tournament striper weigh-ins between yesterday afternoon and this morning – from Loveladies to Brant Beach! Most on the incoming high tide and one on clam, one on bunker and the rest on ava jigs and artificials. Here at Jingles we had two weigh-ins. Our very own Tony Cucinotta finally got his keeper – 9.44# and 29″ on artificial in Brant Beach. And Missy Fillman caught a nice one – 10.56# and 30 7/8″ on bunker. Hers was non-tournament. The tournament ends today so you can weigh fish in up to 6pm to count. To see live results and get more information go to www.lbisfc.com.
