Bonito building up

The Golden Eagle from Belmar reported several bonito yesterday, but today there was a real bite as their anglers caught up to 10 of the 3-5-pounders along with limits of small blues and the one sea bass a man presently allowed.

Adam La Rosa of the Canyon Runner advises anglers who would like to experience the thrill of tournament fishing may be able to do so at a reasonable cost by joining a party on the Restless Lady 2. Call them for details at 302 382-8422. Adam says the Canyon Runner has an unusual opening for the MRMTC Offshore Open from Aug. 29-Sept. 2. Call him at 732 272-4445.

The forecast is for southwest winds at 10-15 knots. Showers are likely.

Chuck Many has been off the radar lately, but before heading back down to Hilton Head he fished a local pond to release a nice bass.
