FISHING REPORT

          WOW – WOW – WOW!!! It has been a GREAT weekend of fishing in Avalon! Anglers were weighing in and reporting catches of above average sized fish in just about every category. There were reports of bluefish up to 10 pounds in the surf and we weighed in the biggest striper of the season at 44” & 32# caught by Bruce Redmond from Philly. We also weighed in several Fluke for opening day. Some worth mentioning were a 19 ½” & 2.93# fluke caught by 9 year old Griffin Barber from Stone Harbor, NJ. The largest fluke was 21 ¼” & 3.51# caught by Jack Morrissey from Merchantville, NJ while fishing with his son-in-law and grandson in Patty’s Hole behind Avalon. They had 4 keepers all between 19-21 ¼” caught on minnows and squid. Also worth mentioning is the weakfish that are being caught in the inlet and off the 8^th street jetty using bucktails and plastics. They largest today was 25” & 4.88# caught by Steve Muszynski from Chalfont, PA.
