Well we are down to a week left in the 70th Annual LBI Surf Classic! There have been no striper weigh-ins for almost a week – And I know that is not for a lack of trying. Right now the $250 Thanksgiving striper prize is still up for grabs! Water has definitely cooled down and boat striper fishing has been pretty hot. Down here in Beach Haven the beach replenishment has moved on to right in front of us – so don’t plan on getting onto the beach at the 13th street entrance. Good luck to all anglers for the last week of the tournament!

We had a weigh-in for the 70th Annual LBI Surf Classic on Saturday and that seems to be the only one over the last couple of days!

But if you are here for the holiday week then get out on that beach and fish! Throw some bunker to let sit but also do some casting with a diamond jig.

Weigh-ins cooled down over the past couple of days for the 70th Annual LBI Surf Classic! I think because of the wet weather and that it also got pretty cold that there were not many people out fishing. But Jimmy Betz did have a striped bass weigh-in yesterday at 10.34# caught on bunker. We now have two weeks left! Remember that it is not too late to register for the derby. Still lots of money on the table!

We continue to have striped bass weigh-ins for the 70th Annual LBI Surf Classic! On Sunday afternoon, Sean Stevenson had a heck of a day back in the bay in Beach Haven. He caught five bass – one being 35″ and then got a keeper weighing in at 9.5# and 28.5″! Sean was using artificials. There have been bass weighed in just about every day. Most caught on artificils, plugs and diamond jigs. Anglers are also crushing it by boat and are catching COWS!! Some are trolling some are jigging – but there are big striped bass out there. Anglers are still doing very well with tog up at the lighthouse – Tog is now 5 per person limit.
