As discussed in the opening 60 seconds, there’s a lot to get to this week as we head prepare to flip the calendar from August to September. First we’ll do a deep dive into the September edition of The Fisherman on newsstands and in tackle shops this week. Next we look at weekend weather conditions and a congressional reaction to ongoing navigation issues at Townsend Inlet. Based on the latest reports, and emails to The Fisherman plenty of folks are finding good success on the inshore grounds of late, but perhaps none more than Mike Speck showing off the 13-1/2-pound doormat aboard the Big Mohawk out of Belmar for our image of the week. An update in the leaderboard for the Dream Boat Fishing Challenge followed by our weekly offshore intel from Canyon Runner and a freshwater update from the Pocono Outdoors Guy. Finally this week, take a boat tour of the Barnegat Bay with state and federally elected officials for a discussion on navigation aids and abandoned boats.
