Bryan Pieros on his boat along with Dave Donahue to win the two-fish Calcuttas with weigh-ins 40.8 and 39.95 pound stripers, . Daytime bluefish casting has slowed up in the rivers and bays, but Nick Honachefsky got into 3-5-pounders in the Lavallette surf with metal on Friday after first catching sea bass with Capt. Charlie Mancuso. It may be turning to a night bite as Jerry Lasko and Maren Toleno plugged big blues in Point Pleasant Canal  Saturday night. Jerry also hooked a striper he couldn’t stop before it broke 30-pound braid, The Big Mohawk from Belmar had good sea bass and ling fishing today, but is taking a pass for tomorrow due to the weather — with small craft warnings up to tomorrow afternoon. I’ll catch up with the Governor’s Cup and other reports tomorrow.
