Captain's Focus

Anglers fishing early in the Aug. 24 to Sept. 1 Manasquan River Marlin & Tuna Club Offshore Open should be feeling good about their chances as the northeast wind increases and other entrants worry about about getting their fishing time in. Paddywhack leads in tuna with yellowfins of 72.75 and 62.35 pounds, followed by Lightening Shack with a 60.95-pounder. Andrea's Toy leads the small boat tuna at 57.39 pounds -- and has the only dolphin with a 5-pounder. Pepper is way ahead in releases with five white marlin.  Capt. Ron Santee kept his weekend doormat streak going Sunday on the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands as Ken Stack of Tinton Falls boated an 8.5-pound fluke before adding an 11.3-pound doormat on the same drift.  Speaking of doormats, Bob Mathews reported the largest weighed in at Fisherman's Den in Belmar Marina this season was a 12-pounder taken on the Ocean Explorer by Nathan Velahos of Sewall. That boat was out today in the rough weather, but there was a limit caught before the conditions got worse. The Golden Eagle from Belmar  looked for blues on Sunday, but only found a few small ones before shifting to good action with sea bass and some legal fluke. They will not be sailing Tuesday due to the weather.caught Tommy Cox released the first striper over 28 inches I've seen from shore in Shark River in a month early Sunday morning. I caught a small bass on a Z Man jig on my first cast, and added another small one later. I released two more small bass this morning on a Kettle Creek paddletail jig, while Frank Manzi and Vinny D'Anton each caught one. Sorry about the short blog last night, but my computer has been swallowing my blogs, and then my cursor was unmovable. Dell is a curse word here! Fortunately, the editor was able to retrieve the portion of the column I had saved.
