2006 Hi-Mar Fall 40 Hour Tournament

The annual fall Hi-Mar Fishing Tournament had no rain, but sometimes windy conditions. On Friday Night, most of the 
fish were caught in the Shrewsbury River and some at the Shrewsbury Rocks. The remainder of the fish, were 
caught throughout Raritan Bay from the back of the Reach Channel to Sandy Hook Channel. Some entrants 
were able to run down to Ortley Beach and southern areas to fish pods of bunker, with large bass beneath them.

Captains weighed their fish all through the tournament, with the majority of the big fish being weighed on Sunday. The
 leader board kept changing.

The Lady Angler prize went to Kathie Krim on the Jersey Devil, 22.6 lbs.

The largest fish of the tournament was 29.3 lbs. by Brian Rice on the Jersey Devil.

HI-MAR 2006 SPRING TOURNAMENT RESULTS:

The third annual Hi-Mar Spring Tournament was held Saturday, June 3, 2006 for the benefit of Jason’s Dreams for Kids and the Monmouth/Ocean Food Bank. The weather left something to be desired. It was “pea soup” fog in the morning, rough seas at the point of the hook, and torrential down-pours throughout the day, Typical Hi-Mar Tournament weather. Raritan Bay was void of fish, maybe because of the three inches of rain that fell Friday night through Saturday. Most of the fish weighed-in were caught down the beach, as far as, Asbury Park. Tough to get there through fog and rough seas. There were 52 boats entered.

The real winners were Jason’s Dream’s for Kids as a $2,500 donation was made to this great organization, plus the proceeds from the sale of T-shirts. All the fish weighed-in, were filleted and donated to the Monmouth / Ocean Food Bank in Neptune.
