    Digging through some old magazines in my basement, I came across a Fisherman for Sept. 12, 1985 and found that Fred was not only editor at that time, but he was also second in the New York Surf Fishing Contest at that point with a 46 1 2-pound striper!Manhattan Cup organizers Frank Crescitelli (L) and and Gary Caputi (middle) in the photo with Golofaro and Ristori (R) The Golden Eagle from Belmar reported another great morning of limit sea bass fishing before adding ling to the bags in the afternoon.

    Many has been catching big stripers with his technique of trolling live eels on planer boards, and we had a perfect day to run down the beach and deploy a multitude of rods set at various depths in the still cool ocean waters that are holding spawned-out bass moving up the coast to New England.
