Here at Jingles Whitey Roth weighed in the first tournament kingfish coming in at 1.14# and 15″. Shawn Gallen weighed in a bluefish on Thursday – weighing in at 2.06# and 17 1/8″ using mullet. And earlier in the week Pat Conti also weighed in a bluefish – 1.68# and 17″. The surf is mainly producing bluefish right now with some kingfish here and there. The first striped bass was weighed in for the tournament on Thursday caught up in Barnegat Light using artificial baits.
