Well we finally have our internet and website up and running again! The striper action from the surf has slowed down but the fluking is getting better and better!!!! Stories from every beach are coming into the shop! Willy hits had 18 fish total with 4 keepers between 18 and 21 inches. All caught on gulp and the Willy-Hits rigs.

Joe reported catching blues over the night with a ton of skates and smooth dogs.

Today is the last day of Simply Bassing and Oceansides spring tourney. The winners will be posted tomorrow. Due to the lack of fish that were weighed in this year, we will not have the annual awards party at Kubels tomorrow! Hopefully next spring will ne a better season!

Weekend-Recap
Written by Valerie Zak
Conditions on the surf were extreme due to the strong NE winds that we have had here for what seems like forever. Even tho you needed atleast 8 oz to hold all weekend, fish were caught. Avery Gerkinsky caught his first striper Sunday using clam. Congrats!

Written by Valerie Zak

Erik - Snow Groose said it was a nightmare trip! Lost power 90 miles offshore! That is never fun!!!!! When they did get the boat running again they had bad luck with the the fish. Lost a big eye...After that had several misses. Erik stated seeing atlease 40 to 50 boats in the Wilmington. fish were spooked. He said the water was perfect though, very blue and they were reading 74 at the break!

Rich Cole called in a report , He went out on MurTuni - They did not have a great trip either! Lost several large fish! HE said he heard on the radio that Timmy Irons was sweeping up! I didnt hear anything yet.
