---------------------------------------------- Welcome to our SJHT 8th event of the 2023 Season where SJHT anglers re-opened the NJ Bass Tournament season at Cooper River Park.
Cooper presented us with a little windy conditions, moderated Air Temps, and overall somewhat a mixture of ideal weather.
Let's get to it.
Today, 8 of SJHT finest came out to battle and catch the Tri-Fecta of catches.
Word on the street is that Cooper River has been fishing pretty good lately. Whether tossing creature baits, senkos, chatterbaits, or even the occassional spinnerbait, Anglers reported early limits within the 1st 2hours.
Without further adieu, please give a big congrats to Bill *The Hammer* Leach on winning 1st place and Misceleanous by weighing in a Bag of 3 Bass going 7.28lbs. Bill's Misc. Catfish went .66lbs. 2nd Place was won by Dennis *Jiggen Den* Toentino with 3 bass going 6.57lbs.3rd Place and Lunker was won by the always confident Andy *Trapper* Trapani with with 3 Bass going 5.55 after a .50lb Dead fish penalty.
