Better weather is coming this week, and west winds should settle the surf. Lasko waded in the river during Saturday night and caught a school striper while Will Fredricks released four -- and Maren Toleno from Mantoloking outfished the guys with seven bass up to a 27-incher.

Good news is the hard west wind flattened the seas out and its beautiful down there now. So tomorrow we are looking good with more west winds.

We have a special trip sailing on Thanksgiving Day for stripers from 6 30 a. m. 1 00 p. m. With the fishing and weather being so great, we are limiting the boat and reservations are required. With Miss Belmar s 3 engines and a total of 2,100 horsepower, she is the first boat to the fishing grounds every day and we guarantee it.

wind came around south and it got a little cranky in the afternoon but most of the day it was nice. check out a few pics.
