I spoke to ex Belmar skipper Mike Verges at today's Hi-Mar Striper Club flea Market, who said it was encouraging to see plenty of bergall and eel action on the bottom Tuesday -- along with a few blackfish, cod and pollock. The Ocean Explorer was out today, but won't be fishing Sunday due to the wind forecast.
The annual Hi-Mar Striper Club Fishing Flea Market and Seminars event willl be held tomorrow from 8 a. m. to 2 p. m. in the Port Monmouth VFW at 1 Veterans Lane -- off Rt. 36. 34 percent of the sea bass quota.
Since there was nothing else on the agenda for the Menhaden Board, that meeting was cancelled. I'll be sharing a table there with Chuck Many, who has a seminar at 10 a. m.
The DEP reports a special fishing opportunity High school aged students have a chance to participate in the Governor's Surf Fishing Tournament on May 20 as part of a team. The High School Team Category is for students who are part of a formal fishing club, members of a Hooked on Fishing-Not on Drugs group, or a non-formal group.
Acting DEP Commissioner Catherine Mc Cabe has appointed Debbie Mans as Deputy Commissioned of that agency. Mans has been serving as executive director of the NY-NY Baykeeper since 2008.
