THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — Many Fri-
day night football games
experienced delays
throughout the Shore
Conference last week due
to heavy rain, thunder and
lightning. Fortunately the
weather was just passing
through and after an
hour-and-15 minute delay,
high school football was
underway.
The Garnet Gull foot-
ball squad hosted the
Dunellen Destroyers and
produced a 43-20 victory.
“Waiting around like
that you don’t know how
you’re going to come out.
We came out ready to
play and that’s important,”
said Point Beach head
coach John Wagner.
The win moves the
Gulls to 3-2 on the season
and featured strong play
from junior wide receiver
Connor Kells and sopho-
more quarterback John
Nista.
Kells finished the night
with two touchdown re-
ceptions and a 65-yard
punt return for a touch-
down. Nista went 5-for-5
for 102 yards and two
touchdowns.
Going into the game
Point Beach was hoping
to score early and get the
momentum swinging in
their favor as soon as
possible.
“We were definitely
working all week,” said
Kells about their prepara-
tion. “Especially with the
weather we knew we
needed to come out hot-
ter because that kind of
offense — they can get
on you and it’s tough to
stop.”
The Destroyers tried to
catch Beach off-guard
and opened the game
with an onside kick. The
Gulls recovered and went
to work quickly.
They moved the ball
from their own 49-yard

THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — It was a
comeback for the books
that kept the Point Boro
football team from losing
their first game this sea-
son.
Last Friday they trav-
eled to play the Central
Regional Golden Eagles
and turned a 21-7 half-
time deficit into a 26-21
victory.
“The second half was
unbelievable. You never
know how it’s going to
play out,” said head
coach Sean Henry. “Go-
ing into halftime we had
an hour and fifteen
minute delay and I was-
n’t sure how the kids
were going to respond
but you could see it in
their eyes.”
The Husak brothers
scored all of Boro’s
touchdowns with Noah
Husak going 88 yards for
three touchdowns and
Nate Husak finishing
with 178 yards and a
touchdown.
Both the Golden Ea-
gles and the Panthers
scored on their first
drive of the game.
Central’s Mike Bick-
ford went first, scoring
on a 46-yard run up the
right side on a fourth
down play.
Point Boro answered
with a 14-play drive with
the last play being a one-
yard touchdown run
from Noah Husak. After
that it was all Central Re-
gional.
Bickford scored again
on a 24-yard run and
then again just before the
half on a 27-yard recep-
tion.
Going into the game,
Henry and the Panther
football squad knew if
they were to win the
game they needed to
contain Bickford.
“The biggest thing
coming in was their tail-
back. He was a first All-
Shore kid last year. We
knew we had to stop
him,” said Henry. “The
first half he had a couple
of big runs but second
half our defense took
him out of the game.”
The Panthers came
out of the half looking
for victory and it came
down to the offensive
line that opened up lanes
for the Husak twins to
run through.
Less than two minutes
into the third quarter
Point Boro brought the
score to 21-14 on a 29-
yard run up the middle
from Nate Husak.
After holding the
Golden Eagles to a three
and out the Panthers put
together a 14-play, seven-
minute drive where
Noah Husak scored from
four yards out. Unfortu-
nately they failed the ex-
tra point attempt and the
Golden Eagles were
holding on to a 21-20
lead.
During a critical Cen-
tral Regional drive
where momentum hung
between Boro and Cen-
tral, Panther Kyler Rossi
snagged an interception
for the game’s only
turnover, which set Point
Boro up on Central’s 20-
yard line.
After Nate Husak ran
the ball down to the one,
brother Noah Husak
punched it in. Boro could
not convert the two-
point try but they earned
Nate Husak leads
rushing with 178
yards and a TD in B

POINT BEACH — The Garnet Gulls
made swift work of the Mater Dei
Seraphs on Tuesday with a 7-0 vic-
tory.
Point Beach scored three goals in
the first half, all off the foot of Aris
Papoutsakis. They then tacked on
four more in the second half, all
while keeping the Seraph offense at
bay.
Beach’s first goal came fifteen
minutes in as Mater Dei tried to
clear a throw in. Connor Prima
jumped in to gain possession of the
ball in the box and then dumped it
out to Papoutsakis on the eighteen
who one-timed it just inside the
right post.
Papoutsakis’ next goal came
shortly after, thanks to teammate
Danny Savage who was taken down
inside the box for a Garnet Gull
penalty kick. Papoutsakis kicked
right as the Seraph goalie dove left
and Beach was up 2-0.
Papoutsakis earned the hat trick

POINT BEACH GIRLS SOCCER NOTEBOOK
Gulls shut out Mater Dei and Keyport despite injuries
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BEACH — The Garnet
Gulls girls soccer team is
dealing with a handful of in-
juries but their two victories
this past week speak to the
depth they have.
They topped Mater Dei on
Tuesday 3-0 and beat out
Keyport 6-0 on Wednesday.
In Tuesday’s win the be-
ginning of the game was slow
but Point Beach quickly
picked up the pace. Reagan
Gould, Cameron Barnes and
Brittany Richardson all
scored a goal in the first half.
“It was good. We dominat-
ed. We looked like we had a
week off though – a little
sluggish when we came out
to start,” said head coach
Adam Curtis. “We turned it
around, scored three goals in
the first half, kept the pres-
sure on in the second half
and just couldn’t score again.”
Lauren Kuhlwein and Han-
nah Malcolm each finished
the game with an assist.
Wednesday’s game was no
different as the Gulls domi-
nated Keyport to put up five
goals in the first half of play.
They opened the game
with at least 10 shots that ei-
ther fell at the hands of Key-
port’s goalie or went wide of
the net. They eventually set-
tled down and Kuhlwein hit
Beach’s first goal and the
floodgates opened.
Gould got on the end of a
cross from Michaela Novo
for her first goal of the game.
Soon after she hit her second
goal and the Gulls were up 3-
0.
Keyport’s goalie was put-
ting in work to try and slow
down the Point Beach offense
but it just was not enough.
Freshman Julia Cairns got
hold of a rebound and laid it
in past the keeper. As the first
half was coming to a close
Kuhlwein managed to find
the back of the net one last
time for a 5-0 halftime lead.
In the second half Beach’s
Katie Gesumaria hit the
team’s sixth goal of the con-
test after starting the game
playing defense in place of an
injured Willow Nicolaides.
“She’s never played any-
thing besides up top for me
or outside left mid and I
asked her and talked to her
and she stepped up as a
leader and took it upon her-
self to move to the back,” said
Curtis of his senior captain.
“She’s done a great job. She’s
a senior leader and we’re go-
ing to look for her to carry us
through to Shore Conference
and states.”
After the sixth goal the
Garnet Gulls used their es-
tablished lead to practice
playing for possession and
work on their passing instead
of just piling on more goals.
“Really we were just work-
ing more on our touches and
trying to knock the ball
around and get ready for
Jackson Liberty,” explained
Curtis.
Jackson Liberty will be a
tough opponent for the Gulls
especially with the injured
players they have to work
around but Curtis is confi-
dent his team will be ready.
He has a game plan and
wants to start the game fast,
saying, “Possession and take
it to them. Really go out ag-
gressive and look for our op-
portunities but keep posses-
sion, be calm and knock the
ball around.”

Tuesday’s win
For most, football has
been a sport to play since a
young age. For Point Beach
junior Connor Kells though,
football started his fresh-
man year.
“I just saw the year they
had when I was in eighth
grade [Point Beach] and I
just wanted to be apart of
it,” said Kells. “Now, we’re
where we are.”
Last Friday Kells was a
large part of the Garnet
Gulls 43-20 victory over vis-
iting Dunellen High School.
Kells finished with two
touchdown receptions in
addition to a 65-yard punt
return to propel Beach to a
36-0 halftime lead.
This led the way for the
younger players that had
not seen playing time this
season to finish out the
game in the second half.
Kells has been the Gulls’
big receiver this season and
according to head coach
John Wagner, he continues
to improve day in and day
out.
“He’s progressed tremen-
dously since his sophomore
year and freshman year to
this year,” stated Wagner.
“He’s kind of playing how
we expected him to play as
a junior. He’s got a whole
year and next year to come
back to so we’re excited
about that.”
Kells is quick off the line
of scrimmage and has the
speed to get behind defend-
ers and into space.
On special teams he has
the ability to make defend-
ers miss and then turn the
corner and bolt upfield.
According to Kells, his
strongest attribute is his
speed, something he has
achieved through lots of
workouts.
These include wind
sprints, sprints and work in
the weight room.
He also does exercises to
improve his jump off the
line and hand fighting off
the line.
“His pass routes have got-
ten so much better and his
understanding of the sec-
ondary coverage has gotten
better,” said Wagner. “He’s
an intelligent kid so that
helps too.”
Kells has been a big target
for Luke Frauenheim to
start the year and now John
Nista who handles the
snaps.
Look for Kells to contin-
ue to be a staple in the Gulls
offense.

POINT BORO BOYS SOCCER NOTEBOOK
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — Last Friday
the Point Boro boys soccer
team was handed their sec-
ond loss of the season bring-
ing an end to their nine game
win streak.
“The Donovan game was
just one of those games
where it just didn’t happen
for us,” said head coach Pete
Casalino. “We had four or
five good chances in the first
ten minutes and didn’t finish
on any of them, which gave
them a lot of confidence.”
The Panthers were on the
losing end of a 3-0 decision
but the loss helped reveal
some areas of their play that
can use improvement.
“What it did was remind us
that we’re not going to win
every game,” explained
Casalino. “Winning hides
problems but losing reveals
them. It revealed to the kids
there are things we need to
get done that we’ve been kind
of lax on. Small details really.”
With the loss behind them,
Point Boro came out on
Tuesday to beat out visiting
Jackson Liberty 4-1. All of
Boro’s goals game in the first
half and the rest of the game
was about defense.
The Panthers struck quick-
ly, notching the first goal two
minutes into the game. Alex
Stupar received a pass from
Nick DeCurtis on the right
side of the box, settled with a
touch and placed the ball
near post for a 1-0 start.
Then in the 13th minute
Ryan Griffith received a per-
fect ground cross from Ma-
son Remondelli that he put
up against an approaching
Jackson Liberty goalie. The
defender got a hand on the
ball but not enough to keep it
out as it slowly rolled into the
net.
Five minutes later it was
Boro’s Mike Brown that got a
foot on the end of a back post
pass from Nick Duda to put
the Panther’s up 3-0.
They were not finished
though and scored a fourth
time to close out the half.
Jackson Liberty’s goalie made
a save on the right post but
could not chorale the ball and
senior captain Sam Monaco
took the rebound and
dropped off a small touch
pass to Matt Kimak who laid
it in.
Point Boro let in one Jack-
son Liberty goal at the begin-
ning of the second half but
never let them score again.
Liberty got some danger-
ous looks but the Panthers
pressed defensively and of-
fensively to keep them at bay
and secure the 4-1 win.
There were a few missed
opportunities to score off of
set pieces when Jackson Lib-
erty would leave either the
back or front post undefend-
ed.
“We’re trying to get to
spots so we can be dangerous
and those spots are danger-
ous. It’s small details – Jack-
son liberty is a decent team
but they’re not as strong as
the teams we’ll see in the two
tournaments,” explained
Casalino. “We’re not going to
be able to get away with
missing those opportunities.
They’ll come back to haunt
us.”
Casalino and the Panthers
team know they will have to
be near perfect if they hope
to make runs in both the
Shore Conference Tourna-
ment and the state tourna-
ment where they will face
tougher opponents.
“The level of competition
is going to go way up and we
have to do the things that we
do well, but do them more of-
ten,” said Casalino. “For most
of the year against some of
the teams in the bottom of
the division we’ve been able
to get away with some mis-
takes but we won’t be able to
get away with them. So we’ll
have to eliminate those mis-
takes.”
For video highlighs of the
win watch the Ocean Star
Sports Show on
youtube.com.
Point Boro has two B South
matchups left as they com-
pete for the division title.
Yesterday they played
Lakewood but the game oc-
curred too late for today’s pa-
per.
On Monday the team will
take to the field against Man-
chester Township at home.
That game is scheduled to
begin at 5 p.m.

“The first half, although we
got a few, it was rocky at
times. We tied them the first
time we played them at their
place,” said head coach Mike
Baiata. “So I think they really
wanted to make sure we got
out there and got the win to-
day.”
Point Beach made sure to
secure the win with four
more goals in the second half
of play.
Mike Ciorlian scored with
a header on a cross from Jack
McDonald to keep things go-
ing. The second goal of the
half came after freshman
Alex Atno got on the end of a
through ball and pushed it
ahead into the Mater Dei box.
He then took a hard foul
from behind to earn a penalty
kick. The freshman did not
crack under pressure and
notched his first of two goals
to put Beach further out in
front 5-0.
Joey LaDuca snagged a
Seraph pass and sent a
through ball with pace up the
middle to a sprinting Atno
who flew by two Mater Dei
defenders.
The Seraph goalie came
out for the save but Atno kept
it low for another Point
Beach goal.
Ryan Brouder hit the sev-
enth Beach goal just before
the end of regulation to com-
plete the Garnet Gull win and
add another Ryan Franzoni
shut out.
“I’ve got my four in the
back including Franzoni and
they can be lights out. Anoth-
er shut out in the books for
him,” said Baiata on his
goalie. “This is his fourth
year being our keeper and
he’s done an awesome job.
He’s got a bunch of shutouts
and makes a bunch of key
saves. Sometimes we need
him more than other days but
when he’s there he’s a reliable
keeper.”
Baiata was happy with the
result in addition to last Fri-
day’s 5-1 win over Henry
Hudson.
“They’ve played well and I
think that’s it,” said Baita.
“Keeping the momentum, do-
ing similar drills in practice
and keeping spirits high and
just getting out there.”
With the Shore Conference
Tournament on the way and
the state tournament just
around the corner the Garnet
Gulls look to clean up any
lingering mistakes.

The Panthers battled it
out to beat Lakewood
4-1 at home
Boro Panthers land first win
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — Going into
the gymnastics season head
coach Jenn von Doehren
knew the year would be a re-
building one and that wins
would come with time.
Well the time has come
and Point Boro gymnastics
team earned their first win of
the season on Tuesday
against Lacey Township.
The Panthers took the
meet with their highest score
of the season, 93.25-83.5.
“The girls are improving
each meet. This is the highest
team score this season, prov-
ing that we continue to get
better with experience,” said
von Doehren. “I am so proud
of how the girls performed
today.”
Point Boro notched first-
place finishes in both the
bars and the beam and split a
first place finish in the floor
exercise. Riley Larsen scored
7.8 for first in the bars and
Natalie Dikun took first in
beam with a score of 8.3.
Dikun also placed second
in bars [7.5] while Larsen took
third in the beam [7.8].
Larsen’s score of 8.4 in the
floor exercise tied Lacey’s
Hayley Zega.
Boro’s Savannah Gill beat
out Lacey’s Hanna Wilson by
one-tenth of a point for sec-
ond in the same event.
Gill also took third in vault
[8.45] just behind Dikun in
second [8.5].
The win came at the right
time as the Panthers had just
lost a close meet against
Shore Regional last Friday
90.775-90.65.
Dikun and Larsen provided
all the points for Point Boro
and each event came down to
tenths of a point.
The close loss made Tues-
day’s win just a bit better.
Von Doehren continues to be
proud of her gymnasts, say-
ing, “It was great to come out
today and walk away with a
win.”
Next week the Panthers go
up against Manalapan and
Brick Township and von
Doehren says she hopes to
keep improving their record.

On Thursday, November 5,
2015 at 7:30 p.m. in the Borough
Chambers, 416 New Jersey
Avenue, Point Pleasant Beach,
line to just inside the red
zone with a few runs from
Luke Frauenheim and a catch
and a run from Chris Webber.
Then Kells, the lone wide
receiver on the left side of the
formation, streaked to the
corner of the end zone and
Nista hit him in stride for the
Gulls first touchdown.
On the extra point attempt,
Frauenheim, who was the
holder, could not get the ball
down in time for Sean Gould
to make his kick. Frauenheim
curled left and floated a pass
to Nista in the end zone to
give Beach an 8-0 lead.
Dunellen’s next drive end-
ed in a fumble on Beach’s 35-
yard line that the Gulls recov-
ered.
Beach moved the ball to
the opposite 28-yard line be-
fore Luke Frauenheim busted
through a hole and took off
for a score. Gould hit the kick
and the Garnet Gulls were up
15-0 to close the first quarter.
The Gulls scored again in
the second quarter on a 40-
yard pass from Nista to Kells.
After Gould’s kick went
through the uprights Point
Beach held a 22-0 lead.
It increased shortly after
with another Kells touch-
down. This time he returned
a punt 65 yards to the end
zone to the cheers of the
crowd and everyone on the
Garnet Gulls sideline.
After another successful
Gould extra point, Beach had
established a commanding
29-0 lead on the visiting De-
stroyers but were not quite
finished.
After another defensive
stop the Gulls were set to re-
ceive another Dunellen punt.
This time it was freshman
Bradley Parry who took the
punt all the way back for the
score. The extra point was
good and the Garnet Gulls
entered the half up 36-0.
With such a large lead
Point Beach was able to put
in players that had not seen
playing time in a varsity
game during the second half.
“It’s nice to build a lead
and do good things in the
first half,” said Wagner about
playing the younger players
during the second half.
“These kids helped us in
practice all week and we al-
ways tell varsity if you get a
chance to build a lead, do it
so we can give them an op-
portunity.”
Freshman Jake Madden
played the rest of the game
under center for Point Beach
who kept the game on the
ground.
Dunellen scored to start
the third quarter but failed
their two-point conversion
attempt.
With five minutes left in
the game Dunellen scored on
another long run and con-
verted the two-point try.
Point Beach was holding fast
to a 36-14 lead.
They answered the De-
stroyers touchdown on a 52-
yard run from junior Jacob
Clement. Again, Gould was
good for the extra point and
Point Beach was up 43-14.
The Gulls let in one more
Dunellen touchdown in the
final 10 seconds of the game
but stuffed the two-point
conversion to solidify the 43-
20 victory.
Point Beach earned the big
win despite the long delay
and never went too crazy of-
fensively, keeping the game
relatively simple.
“We add things in practice
and the other night we added
a few things we didn’t have to
use so we have them in the
bank,” stated Wagner. “You
always try to build your bank
account. We’ll add a few
more things this week and we
might try them out a bit.”
Beach also made a notice-
able change in their offense
by moving Frauenheim to
running back and giving
Nista the spot under center.
“Luke started at the begin-
ning of the year but then we
moved him to running back,”
explained Kells. “We’ve been
definitely working in practice
and Nista is throwing a lot
better than he’s been. I think
it’s going to help us in the
long run.”
Tomorrow the Garnet
Gulls travel to play Keans-
burg for a 1 p.m. game. Kells
is confident moving forward,
saying, “We’ve been practic-
ing very hard and been play-
ing like we’ve been practic-
ing. I’m pretty confident for
the rest of the season.”

Boro with
strong finish
BY DOMINICK POLLIO
THE OCEAN STAR
POINT BORO — Over the
weekend, the Point Boro boys
cross country team ran in the
South Jersey Open held in
Delsea.
Head coach Kevin Con-
heeney summed up the race,
simply saying, “It was a good
showing for the boys at an
unfamiliar course.”
Freshman Devin Hart was
Boro’s fastest finisher and
just missed first place by one
second. He clocked in at 16:27
just behind West Deptford’s
Mitchel Wileczek, a senior.
Boro’s Dylan Peters was
close behind with a fifth
place finish [16:34].
“Devin was our best ath-
lete. Dylan and him battled
with the race leaders
throughout the course,” said
Conheeney. “Devin was able
to hold on and trade places
with the eventual winner
through the last 300 meters.”
The rest of the Panther
pack all cashed in finishes
under 19 minutes. Cortlandt
Dalik took 34th [17:49], Nick
Pettinato placed 44th [18:05],
Luke Dragon finished 45th
[18:06], Logan Carter snagged
56th [18:38] and Andrew
Svensson rounded it out in
66th [18:49].
Point Boro earned fifth
place overall out of 17 teams.
In the junior varsity race
Dawson Brown led the group
with a sixth place finish
[18:52] while Michael Puciul
took 27th [19:47] and Jack
Pausz finished 29th [19:51].
Conheeney was pleased
with the day’s results, espe-
cially since the team will run
the course again come state
sectional race in November.
“Overall it was a produc-
tive day and a great learning
experience,” stated Con-
heeney.
The Panthers now concen-
trate on the Ocean County
Championships on Oct. 22.
The meet will be held at
Ocean County Park.

Boro’s Hart narrowly
misses out on a first
place finish
a 26-21 lead and just needed
to close out the game.
The defense remained
steadfast and powerful, keep-
ing any Central Regional
hopes of scoring at bay, to
keep the Panthers undefeated
and 5-0 for the first time
since 2007.
The amazing Friday night
comeback came to fruition
thanks to the tireless effort of
Point Boro’s front five.
“Up front we kind of took
over. We did some great
things in the first half – we
just didn’t capitalize. A cou-
ple of penalties hurt us,” said
Henry. “The second half we
eliminated those penalties
and the five up front took
over. Nate and Noah did what
they do and ran our offense.
It was very impressive.”
It was holes created by
center Dom Infante, tackles
Mike Falconetti and Doug
Meslar and guards Aidan
Connelly and Dan Daber that
turned things around in the
second half.
“It didn’t really work in the
first quarter,” said Infante.
“Second half we kept paving
the way and holes started
opening up.”
The Husak twins found the
holes and exploited them to
continue moving the ball for-
ward and stay in the game.
The momentum the Pan-
thers generated offensively
carried over to the defense
and contributed to keeping
Central down.
Rossi was proud of how the
second half went defensively,
saying, “It’s great. Defense is
everything. Defense wins
games.”
Henry says he could not be
prouder of the way his play-
ers fought during the come-
back on the road.
“Just the effort from our
kids – and they played for
each other, which is the
biggest thing,” he stated.
“Our theme all year has been
‘all in’ and ‘brotherhood’ and
they continue to do that.”
Him and the rest of the
Boro coaches have also been
making sure to let their team
know that they cannot be-
come complacent in their
success. With the season
moving forward and playoffs
on the horizon, he does not
want the desire to improve to
fizzle out.
“There are a lot of things to
fix. The biggest thing we
keep preaching our kids is
just don’t get content,” ex-
plained Henry. “It’s good be-
ing 5-0 but it’s not the end
game. We have a lot of big B
South games left.”
For now, the players use
the 5-0 record to fuel that de-
sire to win.
“It’s definitely a positive. It
definitely helps in practice
and you keep thinking about
that record,” said Infante.
“You say, ‘I want to get one
more. I want to get one more.’
Just to improve that record.”
The Panthers continue
working on the little things as
they travel to take on
Barnegat tonight. Kickoff is
scheduled for 7 p.m.

[21:59.33], Natalie Murphy

Olivia Zahorsky rounded out
the Panther pack in 32nd

“In the varsity race, Kristi
[Lennon] and Natalie [Mur-
phy] both ran their best races
of the season, which helped
seal our position as a team,”
explained Kostenko.
“Danielle [Tsougarakis] got a
great start and really paced
our team today. This was her
best race of the season too.”
After the points were tal-
lied Point Boro’s total came
to 54, beating out Paul VI in
second with 59 points. Paul
VI had three runners finish in
the top eight but the rest of
their team fell behind while
Boro’s tight group kept their
point total down.
The Panthers also clocked
in a first place finish in the
junior varsity race.
Maeve McKeon finished

while Rylan Grabis came in
fourth [23:04.76] and Sara
Campbell took eighth
[23:38.81].
Mary McKeon and Kyra

points to beat out second
place Cinnaminson by 11

took third place with 78
points.
“Maeve [McKeon] and Ry-
lan [Grabis] really impressed
me with the way they did not
back down from the competi-
tion,” stated Kostenko. “I am
really proud of the girls in
both races. They were ag-
gressive right from the start
and really competed.”
Point Boro only continues
to improve on what has been
a spectacular season so far.
With the dual meet season
over, the team now concen-
trates on the harder competi-
tions.
“We continue to talk a lot
as a team about effort and im-
provement and today was a
very nice indication that we
are moving in the right direc-
tion,” said Kostenko. “It is a
nice bump to our confidence
as we start to move toward
our biggest races of the year."
The next big meet for the
Panthers is the Ocean County
Championships on Oct. 22.

The ocean has cleaned up
nicely, settled down, and has
a lot of small baits present as
plenty of west wind this
week has greatly helped the
cause. Last Saturday however
winds blew out from the
north and kept the majority
of boaters at home as it was
an uncomfortable sea with
plenty of whitecaps. On
Sunday the wind dropped
out and the ocean was like
glass and the first day in
quite some time that boaters
could get back. Boats headed
out looking for stripers and
blues along the inshore
waters. Both the Manasquan
and Shark River inlets had
plenty of boat traffic with
boats heading in and out on a
beautiful fall day.
Pods of birds could be seen
blitzing baits right outside
the Manasquan Inlet in about
40 feet of water. Small blues
were responsible for causing
the commotion as they
pushed the baits to the sur-
face. Capt Gene Quigley of
Shore Catch Charters,
Manasquan was out with his
son Justin and good friend
Alex Fatenko of Sea Girt and
they went further north
towards Deal and did a num-
ber catching false albacore in
45 feet of water. The albies
were up and down and
spread out but were caught
by casting Deadly Dick lures
to them.
This a good sign right now
as this is usually the tail end
of the albie run for this time
in October. Water tempera-
tures are at 64 degrees and
should cool about two
degrees each week from this
point forward. Look for
striped bass to really become
active when ocean tempera-
tures hit 58 degrees.
Currently striped bass reg-
ulations are one fish at 28
inches to less than 43 inches
plus one fish at 43 inches or
greater.
There is also a slot fish this
fall. You are allowed to keep
slot fish one striper between
24 and 28 inches but you
must have a bonus tag to
keep this extra fish. To get
the bonus tag go to:
www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/bo
nusbas.htm. Blackfish regula-
tions are still one fish at 15
inches until November 15th.
Porgies are 50 man daily limit
at nine inches. Cod no limit
at 21 inches. Weakfish one
fish at 13 inches. Sea bass is
closed until October 22nd.
Up on the Salmon River in
Pulaski, NY the run of king
salmon, coho salmon, and
steelhead is on. The fish
started to run hard last
Friday so those that made the
trip this past holiday week-
end were not disappointed.
There have been several days
in the past week with non-
stop all-day action. The fish
have been moving up the run
in the morning and then
again in the afternoon after
3:00 pm. The report from the
Douglaston Salmon Run
was, “We had a good run of
fish this past weekend that
moved up through the DSR
throughout the day. They
were mostly kings with a few
Coho mixed in. Clients
reported good fishing
through the day.” To get to
Pulaski it is pretty easy. Take
GSP north to 287 north to 80
west to 380 to 81 north and
this will take you right there
in about 5-1/2 hours.
NJ freshwater anglers can
now look forward to catching
fall trout as the State’s river
and streams were stocked
with trout this past week.
The Division states, “The
fish will be stocked from the
Pequest Trout Hatchery from
October 13-21. This year will
see a return to the stocking of
larger fish measuring
approximately 14 inches up
to 22 inches in length and
weighing 1-1/2 lbs to almost
eight lbs. These rainbow
trout will be stocked in 16
streams and 15 ponds over
the two-week period. The
stocking boundaries for
streams are the same as in
the spring, see the current
Freshwater Digest for infor-
mation. Our area was stocked
on Tuesday, October 13th.
The Manasquan River
received 480 trout, the
Metedeconk River, North
Branch 160 trout, the
Metedeconk River, South
Branch 250 trout, and the
Toms River, including TCA
360 trout.”
Capt Howard Bogan of the
Big Jamaica out of Brielle
reports, “We had another
very good trip to the canyon.
We started out fishing for
mahi and it was good as we
boated 154 mahi up to 25 lbs.
It did not take long to catch
the first tuna once we
anchored. The first couple of
fish were longfin and then it
was a mix of yellow fun from
50 to 90 lbs, a couple of
bigeyes, the biggest 230 lbs.
The action continued most
of the night with a few lulls.
Some notable catches were
Randy Dunlap from Boonton
with a 230 lb big eye, William
Baek from College Point NY
with his limit of yellowfin
plus two longfin, James
Chapman from Philadelphia
with his limit of yellowfin,
Mike Denard from
Smallwood, NY with two yel-
lowfin and one longfin, Phil
Jones from Trenton with his
limit of yellowfin plus 1
longfin, Anthony Lalli from
New Rochelle, NY with his
limit of yellowfin, Randy
Ingram from Bristol, Pa with
his limit of yellowfin plus
two longfin, Chuck Solan
from Silverton with his limit
of yellowfin plus two longfin
and more. It looks good for
upcoming trips as more tuna
are moving into the canyon
every day. The Big Jamaica is
scheduled to sail on 31 hr
trips at 7 am every Tuesday
and Thursday. 21 hr overnight
trips sail 5:00pm every
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
For reservations and infor-
mation call 732-528-5014 or go
to our website at www.bigja-
maica.com.”
Capt Ryan of the Jamaica II
out of Brielle reports,
“Decent big ling catches
along with school cod, floun-
ders, and big porgies show-
ing up on deep wrecks when
we get reasonable condi-
tions. Giant bluefish are
annoying also. Recent pool
winner was Wesley Shourt
from Manahawkin with a 14
lb cod. We are getting ready
for a full schedule of sea bass
trips as soon as season opens
on Oct 22nd.
Upcoming week we have
