Nick Honachefsky reports his sixth annual Barrier Island Beach Brawl on Columbus Day weekend was another success.

“Brawl was graced with beautiful sunny skies, 2 to 3 foot seas and a sweet northwest wind and those type of conditions had the bluefish on the bite big time. “What a fantastic time we had!” said Nick Honachefsky tournament director. “Over 400 bluefish were reported caught and though the tourney started out weighing in 2 to 3 pounders, some big choppers up to nearly 9 pounds took the top places as the day unfolded with an incoming tide chew. Striper fishing was an early morning and night time affair as 16 stripers were released during the two-day tourney. Blackfish were thick off both the Barney and Squan inlet rocks, but anglers waded through a load of short fish to bring in 7 tautog to the scales.” There were no wildcard category fished weighed in for the first time as kingfish, triggerfish, bonito and croakers were ghost. It took 4 hours to fillet all the donated 140 bluefish and 7 blackfish translating to 100 pounds of fillets given to feed the homeless and hungry at the St. Gregory’s food pantry and the 50/50 raised $1300 for St. Jude’s Charity.

FacebookBrawl was graced with beautiful sunny skies, 2 to 3 foot seas and a sweet northwest wind and those type of conditions had the bluefish on the bite big time. “What a fantastic time we had!” said Nick Honachefsky tournament director. “Over 400 bluefish were reported caught and though the tourney started out weighing in 2 to 3 pounders, some big choppers up to nearly 9 pounds took the top places as the day unfolded with an incoming tide chew. Striper fishing was an early morning and night time affair as 16 stripers were released during the two-day tourney. Blackfish were thick off both the Barney and Squan inlet rocks, but anglers waded through a load of short fish to bring in 7 tautog to the scales.” There were no wildcard category fished weighed in for the first time as kingfish, triggerfish, bonito and croakers were ghost. It took 4 hours to fillet all the donated 140 bluefish and 7 blackfish translating to 100 pounds of fillets given to feed the homeless and hungry at the St. Gregory’s food pantry and the 50/50 raised $1300 for St. Jude’s Charity.

The final standings were:

1-Ed Fliller – Bluefish 8-pound 15-ounces

2-TIE Cliff Horner/Dave McFadden – Bluefish 8-pound 5-ounces

FacebookBrawl was graced with beautiful sunny skies, 2 to 3 foot seas and a sweet northwest wind and those type of conditions had the bluefish on the bite big time. “What a fantastic time we had!” said Nick Honachefsky tournament director. “Over 400 bluefish were reported caught and though the tourney started out weighing in 2 to 3 pounders, some big choppers up to nearly 9 pounds took the top places as the day unfolded with an incoming tide chew. Striper fishing was an early morning and night time affair as 16 stripers were released during the two-day tourney. Blackfish were thick off both the Barney and Squan inlet rocks, but anglers waded through a load of short fish to bring in 7 tautog to the scales.” There were no wildcard category fished weighed in for the first time as kingfish, triggerfish, bonito and croakers were ghost. It took 4 hours to fillet all the donated 140 bluefish and 7 blackfish translating to 100 pounds of fillets given to feed the homeless and hungry at the St. Gregory’s food pantry and the 50/50 raised $1300 for St. Jude’s Charity.
