Landing Linesiders for a Good Cause
Fall is the season many anglers look forward to the most each year, as striped bass action heats up when the water temperatures cool down. Stripers make excellent table fare, grow to impressive sizes (30- to 40-pounders are not uncommon, and Atlantic City boasted the world-record striper, 78.8 pounds, for nearly 30 years), and are a lot of fun to catch. Two tournaments are on the horizon that can also turn striper fishing into a worthy, humanitarian pursuit. Maynard’s Café, the Amherst Avenue Margate mainstay, will be hosting its 13th annual Jimmy Stewart Striper Tournament on Nov. 3 to benefit the Gold Foundation and the Patti McWalk (a benefactor of the South Jersey Cancer Fund). A $40 per-person donation offers the chance to win a fishing trip for two to Costa Rica, plus prizes for the top-three heaviest fish. Fishing can be by boat, beach or jetty between the Hereford and Little Egg inlets. A captain’s meeting is Thursday, Nov. 1, at Maynard’s. Call 822-8423 or 822-0916 for more information. The Brigantine Elks are hosting their annual three-day, round-the-clock Fall Striper Classic Nov. 2-4 to benefit Elks’ veterans charities. A captains meeting is Thursday, Nov. 1, at the lodge (400 W. Shore Drive in Brigantine), and it is open to land and boat fishermen. Cash prizes are awarded for the top-three heaviest fish in two divisions (boat and surf), plus total weight of two fish in both divisions. The entry fee is $60 per boat (four-angler limit) or $25 per surf fisherman. Call 266-0423 or 264-0631 for more info. — Ray Schweibert
