    Johnny Bucktails won Saturday's Hi-Mar Striper Club Spring Striped Bass Tournament with a two-fish total of 75. 6 pounds, but may have gotten lucky because original club member Gene Graman of Middletown didn't enter the contest with his That's It II from Sandy Hook Bay Marina in Highlands - but fished on Saturday in Ambrose Channel where Jerry Mc Menamy of Holmdel chunked a trophy bass that weighed 53 pounds, 7 ounces on the contest scale.

Capt. Bob Egger put Mark Faller of Toms River into a bass limit in 1 1 2 hours this morning on Spunky II out of Manasquan Inlet with bunkers, releasing all but one before blues moved in.

    Chuck Many of Annandale got out Tuesday afternoon to check his spots in Raritan Bay, and found them to be well-populated with stripers that didn't have to fight off bluefish to get to a live bunker. That bite wasn't good enough to hold us there, and Many set up in the mouth of Hudson River where we got lots of hits in a roaring current -- but had to fish through smooth dogfish and some blues in order to pick a few bass.

    Bob Matthews reports from Fisherman's Den in Belmar Marina that big bass are being boated in that area by boaters using bunker spoons and Mo-Jo's as well as by snag-and-drop bunker fishing. We are still getting reports of good bass catches in the bay as well.

    Bluefish continued to cooperate in the bay, and both the Fishermen and Sea Hunter from Atlantic Highlands reported plenty of big blues for all despite the fact that most were hooked on rental rods by people not used to fighting such large fish. Scott Leadbeater from Haddon Heights fished his center console out of Atlantic Highlands in the back of the bay Friday afternoon, but it was all blues -- and the south wind that came up made for a rough trip back.
