Tuna Stakes

It was exciting to greet all who showed at the new Hoffman’s marina in Brielle, New Jersey. The scene was set for a great event under the tent to keep us dry in what seems to be monsoon season. It is a pleasure to have teamed up with John Grady, the owner of Hoffman’s, who is breathing new life and spirit into the piers which have played so much in the creating the history of New Jersey Sport fishing for over eighty years. There is no doubt that the “Norther Weigh Station” will expand this event and Hoffman’s legend will grow and keep producing sport fishing memories and history.

The event was a great success having the sponsors available for our guests, and wonderful food catered by Chef Leonard Strobel, who also is the founder/ tournament director. He greeted his guest with a roast pig, shrimp and scallops, and cold beer. All who were there raved about the delicious food.

The highlights of the event were definitely the support given to Deborah Hospital through the purchase of the ticket books for the car drawing to be held in early December.

The spectacular entertainment provided by Michelle and Anthony playing guitar and singing made the night entertaining and memorable. All would agree they could sing anywhere and anytime we had an event…. Even in the wee hours Michelle rocked some AC/DC to stir the crowd at the Sandbar a couple doors down from Hoffman’s.

Let us not forget another free drawing winner! The winner is John Stavola!!!!!! glad to have you on board for the tounament GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
