    Anglers aren't missing much as John Bushell of Betty Nick's Tackle in Seaside Park had called the fishing horrible -- probably due to the cold waters resulting from a week of south winds. The Ocean Explorer from Belmar experienced poor fluke fishing today due to the cold waters, though a 7-pound fluke was boated.

    The Greater Point Pleasant Charter Boat Association ran last weekend's Mako Mania Tournament in fishable weather. Tournament chairman Capt. Pete Grimbilas reported a total of 20 makos making the 66-inch minimum length were weighed at Capt. Bill's Landing in Point Pleasant over the two day contest, and there were probably others that weren't brought to the scales because they were clearly short of making the board while boats were lined up to weigh makos late Sunday afternoon.

    Only the boat names of Mako Mania winners were provided in last night's blog, but tournament director Capt. Pete Grimbilas has already sent along unofficial results that include the names of boat owners and anglers as hollows The formatting may be hard to follow, but that prompt action contrasts with the Brett T.

    Sorry for the delay in getting the blog out, but I had to stick it out to the last minute at Capt. Bill's Landing in Point Pleasant as boats were backed up to weigh in mako sharks which turned out to be mostly just over the 66-inch minimum length set by the contests. As noted in last night's blog, Water Proof took the first day lead in Mako Mania at 218 pounds, but most boaters held back for Sunday's great forecast.

    Capt. Dave De Gennaro had good news about weakfish as mostly 15-to-17-inchers have shown up on the west side of Barnegat Bay. There were also a couple of 23 and 20 inches that hit killies while Hi-Flier from Barnegat was drifting for fluke. Bluefish of all sizes are abundant in the inlet, and are hitting poppers and soft plastics along with a few short stripers.

    Due to some technical problems, an old column was published earlier while I was trying to publish the new one. The new column got chopped in half, and may not have been the version I edited, but at least relates to this weekend.
