Laurie Murphy:


The Knee Deep Club held their Catfish contest this past weekend with a great turnout of 49 entrants. The winners included Alex Stockton taking 1st place with his white cat weighing 6 lb 1 oz, winning $391, 2nd place went to Lou Marcucci, winning $236 for a 5 lb 2 oz Channel, and 3rd place going to Justin Haines, also with a 5 lb 2 oz Channel, his take home being $157.  Fourth thru sixth place winners received a $20 gift card to The Jefferson Diner, going to Sean Haubrich with a 4 lb 6 oz Channel, Kirra Gifillan with her Channel cat weighing 3 lb 14 oz, and Glenn Sawyer, also with a Channel Cat weighing 2 lb 13 oz. Also making their way to the scale was a 3 lb 5 oz eel, caught by Alan Tourinsky of Mt Arlington. Eddie Mackin also weighed  a Hybrid Striper at 7 1/2 pounds. Speaking of Hybrid Striped Bass, Knee Deep’s next contest  being held for them,  will be  on  Sept 21st & 22nd.  Jack Dziduch, fishing with live herring, had several hybrids, the largest up to 8 pounds. NJ’s DEP has lifted another  of their Swim Advisories , concerning the blue green algae, adding Byram Cove to Indian Harbor & Henderson Cove,   with more areas expected to be lifted by next week.  Check out the Shop Local Campaign for Lake Hopatcong, (you’ll find it online ).
