Stripers flood into Ocean County beaches
by Al Ristori Friday June 12, 2009, 8:22 PM


Stiper blitz in Ocean County
Big stripers turned on in a big way Friday all the way from Bay Head to Island Beach State Park. After a dull Thursday, the bass suddenly showed at first light, and surfcasters were able to snag them for live bait. John Green of Brick said it was a matter of following them along the beaches until dolphins drove the bunkers into the wash. Poppers didn't seem to be effective. Green took a 30-pounder and released two other bass. Many super-sized bass were among the 20-to-30-pounders. Topping them all was a trophy 55-pound, 9-ounce cow weighed at Betty and Nick's in Seaside Park by Bill Trevino. He was a client of famed surfcaster Shell E. Caris, and I understand that Caris also released a 51-pounder. Those fish were caught in Island Beach. Other top weigh-ins at Betty and Nick's included John Cobani at 46 pounds; Roy Madesen with a 41 1/2-pounder; and Ted Gruder at 41 1/4 pounds. Nick Honachefsky of Normandy Beach caught a 44-inch striper.
