The Hoffman gang nailed them good out front
Riptide Bait and Tackle report, Brigantine 11-30-1.jpg
The Hoffman gang just came in from a great day on the boat. All kids caught a fish and the biggest was 20 pounds ( I'm not saying who caught that one). They had a strong bite at the top of the tide but it wasn't a long bite. John Grahsler and his Dad Kurt had an 18 pound striper and a 10 pound blue fish out on the boat. Mr Smith had a little trouble with his boat but will be going back out tonight to get me bunker. I will post when it comes in. I do have plenty of FRESH clams and eels if you need. It is a BEAUTIFUL day out but very slow on the beach. Will it turn on like last week??????

Enzo Carbo had his first keeper on dads boat 13.5 pounds and Dad also had a 13 pounder, Frank Fadigan had a 17 pounder off his boat.

Enzo and Dad Tom finally put some striper meat on their boat the "Enzo". Tom said that the fish cost him almost two hundred thousand dollars but it was all worth it for the memory of watching his son catch his first keeper. I guess Tom will now be giving fishing lessons now Nice job guys.

Cory Kessler caught a nice 15 pound striper while trolling with his Dad on their boat today. The beach is being very stingy as it was yesterday morning and i'm hoping it will turn around this afternoon. They are holding with 5oz pyramid and no complaints about weed so far. Joe Jr just weighed in a nice fish as I am typing.

Three fish so far on Monday

Had three fish on the scale today. Jackie and Jerry and a pair of twins off the beach and Jerry Dolan had a 12.5 pounder off the beach also. The sun is shinning and the early report said it was snotty out front but Mike L just told me it was fine and he is out there as we speak. Beagles had another fine game yesterday and to think they beat the Gmen the week before???? Just wanted to say thanks to all the people calling me to tell how much of a clown bozo really looks like. I guess in his world he must really believe what he thinks. I really feel bad for him but that's OK because everything happens for a reason. Life is good

Jim Stouse having a great fall Starting to get some excitement in the surf. Jim Strouse just weighed a 20 pound striper and a 34 inch bluefish that he just caught and Sal AKA Buckwheat weighed in a 15 pound striper. Starting to hear some good reports from the surf, Jim said he thinks it's going to turn on but he has to leave and it's killing him. Life is good
