The First Annual Barnegat Fishin' Hole Fall Striper Tournament was a huge success. Thirty four boats were entered in the inaugural tournament with 120 anglers fishing the event. Eighteen boats came to the scales to weigh in thirty six striped bass and sixteen bluefish.

Each boat received great door prizes and give-aways at the Captains' Meeting and Awards Ceremony from our sponsors: Fin Strike, Fish Bonz Bait & Tackle, Gamakatsu, GarbageFish.com, Lacey Marine, Lunker City, Mann's Bait Company, Play it Again Sports, Ribber City Sauce Company, Sea\\Tow Central NJ, Shore Point Embroidery & Promotions, Sun Harbor Bay Club and Tournament Grade Tackle.

Thank you to Mark Taylor, President of the Jersey Coast Angler's Association, for being our guest speaker at the Captains' Meeting and answering questions at both the Captains' Meeting and Awards Ceremony about fisheries management, current legislation and ongoing affairs concerning the recreational anglers of NJ.

This event would not have been possible without the help from all of our sponsors, volunteers and members that participated in the First Annual Barnegat Fishin' Hole Fall Striped Bass Tournament contributing to its first year success. With all of your help we raised $400 that will be donated to the Lacey Food Bank in our founder's name, Larry 'DewJigger' Eckenrode.
