NJ Striped bass Hall of Fame
This is a prestigious group that has consistently caught large fish. The details are managed by the Asbury Club and can ba found on their site.

THE NEW JERSEY STRIPED BASS HALL OF FAME
Welcome to the official headquarters of the N.J. Striped Bass Hall of Fame. This organization was established in 2004 to identify and single out individuals who have consistently excelled at catching trophy sized striped bass from the ocean and inland salt waters of New Jersey.
The current membership includes many of the most productive bass fishermen over the past half century and remains open to all land based striper fishermen. The requirements for membership, however, were intentionally made very challenging in order to insure that only serious, dedicated “Bass Hounds” could eventually qualify.
Membership Requirements:
The minimum requirements for inclusion into the Hall of Fame is two (2) points
That is, catch (2) 50+ pound fish and you’re in. Or, (1) 50+ pound fish and (3) 40+ pound fish. Or, (3) 40+ pound fish and (10) 30+ pound fish. Or, (1) 50+ pound fish and (10) 30+ pound fish.
- Each 50+ pound bass = 1 point
- Three or more 40+ pound bass = 1 point
- Ten or more 30+ pound bass = 1 point
All fish must be caught shore based (no boat fish) and must be from New Jersey waters. Anyone who believes they meet the minimum criteria and wishes to be considered for induction into this Hall of Fame needs to have their catches authenticated by a recognized Fishing Club or tackle shop. As an alternative, your proof such as photos, newspaper articles, log books, etc. will be reviewed by a committee of existing members.
The members of this Hall of Fame want very badly to be inclusive of the entire state. A review of the attached memberships list clearly shows that many outstanding fishermen from south of Barnegat inlet have not yet been identified and included.
Questions regarding the New Jersey Striped Bass Hall of Fame should be directed to Larry Casparro at (732) 988-0348.
The Hall of Fame is proud to honor the 2009 inductees, including the reigning IGFA all tackle world record holder, Albert McReynolds; the locally well known author, lecturer and surf guide, Shell E. Caris; the relatively young, but very accomplished standout, Tony Melo; and the seasoned pro, Stan Duziuba.

2010 plugmaker list:
This is one of the biggest gatherings of custom plug makers on the East Coast. All in one auditorium. Looking at the list, and realizing many of the greats there in the past who are no longer with us today, you can see why there is a lot of buzz and excitement generated by this show.

The Old Man's Tackle Box
Jerry Melia runs the Old Man's Tackle Box, which does most of its business at flea markets and area shows.
I found it interesting how Jerry got into bucktail and sinker making.
He said he used to fish a lot and lost too many bucktails. He eventually realized if he wanted to keep up with his fishing addiction, he needed to make his own lead and bucktails.
Along the way, he met some good people. He and his Dad started doing it, and as it grew he called on the knowledge of his friend John to learn how to tie bucktails.
As he made and sold more, he realized he needed a durable finish. That's where he called his friend Doug of Dr Lures in for advice. Doug ran a powder coating dept for a company and knew the whole process. Doug teamed up to help Jerry, (what are friends for...?) and the rest is history.
Some customers of Jerry's have told him he has the cheapest bucktails around. He had show specials, 8 and 10 oz bucktails, for $5 each. That's a great price for the heavier ones.
Stop by and say hi to Jerry and Doug.

Meet Doug from Dr Lures
Doug is quite a character, with many stories to tell.
One of them is about how do you catch a mermaid?
Stop by his table at the Asbury Show today for the answer to that question...

Great show today....some of the well-known surfcasting sharpies were there, some of the silent sharpies....some good times with the S&A sitemembers here, some great stories....cool times with good people... went down there with G, Rip, and Brasilva. Later on Tommy came to join us.
Some awesome pics and videos of the builders and their stuff.....
I'll try to have it up by tomorrow.
In the meantime if anyone wants to post about the show and what they thought of it, feel free...
(even if ya just went there for the world class hotdogs)

Hey Dark and G. Had a great time with you mofos. I am so glad we finally got together to shoot the chit. Wished Brasilva would have stuck around but, maybe I will get a chance to fish with him in the future. Good times man can not wait to start fishing. Thanks again. Oh yea I forgot to mention that I met Finchaser and some of the best surf guys around. It was such a great experience and can not wait until next year to go again.
Administrator
Rip, glad we all decided to make that trip.Originally Posted by rip316
I wanted you and G to get a chance to meet a cross section of the surf guys there at that show..
Finchaser, Joe Melillo, Zeno, Shel E Caris, Charlie K from Shark River, Joe Palotto...Pres of the Asbury Fishing Club, and some of the other Asbury members, Billy Mcfadden famous plugmaker, Ron Muccie and his crew of old-school sharpies, etc.
We missed others because we just ran out of time. I didn't get to the SSFFF table with Dave A taking contributions, and missed an interview with Gene Amato... VP of Asbury and the maker of Fish On Plugs.
We also missed some others, but I think overall, we got you to see how the surf fishing world we love is a big and small world at the same time.
There were so many notable anglers in the surfcasting world there today. I hope you remember their faces and get a chance to run into them in the surf, as each of them has something different to offer.

Sounds like all of you had a great time. Maybe next year I'll tag along.
Senior Member
What are some of the goodies you guys bought at the show? Do you have any pics?
OGB
A burger and a T bone needle
Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again
Administrator
What happened to that world class hot dog you were lookin for?
Wassamatta fa you!
Did that hamburger you ate at least come from Cargill, or was it an imitation burger?
Sorry I missed you guys. Dave A went lookin for some grub, I promised I would stop by the table after that. When I turned around you guys had packed up and left.
Did he do ok with the SSFFF contributions this time?
BTW, West Wind Wally made an appearance today and was talking about your grouchy nature.
Administrator
The Asbury plugmakers!
I managed to shoot most of them, but still missed a few, my bad.
Scotty from Lex Lures
Sharing a table with Scotty was Charlie K from Shark River fishing club. Charlie K is an old school surfcaster, and is well regarded by many in the fishing world.
Last year Charlie had some rare Habs and Gary2s for sale. This year I think he had some more Habs and some others. You never know what Charlie will bring to the show, that's why it pays to stop by.
This year his special was a tub of unfinished Pencils and Needles for $1/EA.
That's right folks, only $1 for a plug that could be the beginning of a DIY plug project, or a Father/Son project. Where else can you get a simple unfinished plug blank for $1?
He had a huge tote filled with them.
By the end of the show he was almost sold out.
Nice seeing ya's again, Scotty and Charlie.

Talked with Ron, his friends Ellen and John as they talked about Ron's plugs...

Ron Muccie and the magic tins and teasers
Nice meetin ya again Ron!
