More than 800 anglers enjoyed a great day of family fishing fun on Sunday, October 4 at the 18th annual Governor's Surf Fishing Tournament. Held at Island Beach State Park, this annual event raises funds for important conservation projects and improved beach access.
Thirty anglers received awards for prize-winning fish, but the grand prize went to Gene Brendel of Nutley, NJ, for catching a 32-inch striped bass. Mr. Brendel received a plaque along with two rod and reel combos, and will have his name engraved on the Governor's Cup, which is permanently displayed at the park.
The event was sponsored by the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife and Division of Parks and Forestry, the New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, the Jersey Coast Anglers Association, and the New Jersey Beach Buggy Association.
