The Great South Jersey Striped Bass Kayak Fishing October Open Tournament 2005 Welcome

Be Prepared For A Record Breaker! South Jersey is blessed with countless saline estuaries and seemingly limitless miles of natural sod banks and salt marshes. These wild areas are the natural habitats of Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Harriers, various waterfowl such as Herons, Egrets and many duck species, as well as breeding grounds for terrapins, fishes, crabs. These marshes are also the nursery of the many species of fish. Every autumn, voracious Striped Bass visit these natural fisheries partaking in a Fall feeding frenzy. The fight and size of these Stripers are legendary, many large trophy fish have been taken while feeding in shallow waters. Hooking into a large Striper while in a kayak is a wild experience...you could go for a "sleigh ride" with a record setting fish. It is not uncommon for Striped Bass to range into the 20 to 50 pound range…so be prepared for a record breaker!
