Catfish Contest this Weekend

Laurie Murphy:

The Knee Deep Clubs catfish contest is this weekend, August 7th & 8th. It is a perfect outdoor activity to spend some time with friends and maybe win some money. And yes, the catfish are biting. Max Hughen  weighed in several nice fish. His 2 channel cats weighed in at 1 lb 10 oz and 9 lb 5 oz , along with a white cat weighing 4 lb 2 oz. Catfish will hit anything from hotdogs and liver to nightcrawlers and herring, dead or alive. Richard Hilton had several bass while pitching his lures along the docks at Nolans Point, the largest weighing 4 lb 2 oz. Hybrid Bass still being caught off Chestnut Point, the Main Lake out from Byrams,  and Sharps Rock areas. White and yellow perch are also being caught . Have a great week !

Checked on the Passaic

Found a good parking spot and scouted a little, finding there is some space for bank fishing, but the water was so muddy, I decided to try again later. Besides, I'm on jury duty call in Trenton, and if I had to go tomorrow morning, it would have been to bed early. Losing out on some fishing over that, perhaps.

Right near the supermarket in Stirling.
