by As noted in an earlier blog, famed N.J. striper fisherman Gene Graman passed away on March 21. A Visitation is being held today from 4-7 p.m. at Thompson Funeral Home, 410 Broad St. [n Red Bank. There will also be a graveside service tomorrow at 11 a.m. in Fairview Cemetary, Middletown.
Gene was 87, an Air Force vet, and possibly the best private skipper in NY/NJ Bight — especially when fishing the old Sandy Hook Rip in rough seas. He was also a founding member of the Hi-Mar Striper Club– and their most active member.He’s survived by his brother Marvin, nephew Donald, and sister-in-law Dolly.
I suppose heavenly striper fishing may have dropped off, and Gene was needed to seek them out once again!
A small craft advisory is up through Wednesday afternoon but the forecast for only NNW winds at 5-10 knots. Periods of light rain and drizzle are likely.
