Posted on October 21, 2020 Joe Julian was a Shore legend If a book is ever written about the early days of fishing along the northern N. J. Shore, Joe Julian will surely be among the leading characters, The owner of Julian s Tackle in Atlantic Highlands passed away last week at 94. Joe, who also had a big ice business across the road, popularized his Montauk bunker spoons which feature a single large Siwash hook that was a big improvement over the huge built-in hook on standard bunker spoons which required the addition of a large treble hook to be effective but damaged a lot of stripers and blues that were to be released.

Half the people onboard caught a striper today. That sounds pretty good, but we only had 8 people on the boat.

But you never know what tomorrow will bring. I only have a couple people signed up for tomorrow but the weather looks good and we will be there and hopefully so will some of you.
