----------------------------------------------
Welcome to our SJHT 10th event of the 2023 Season where SJHT anglers traveled to Central Jersey  once again to battle for that elusive  Lunker Bass.



The Squan started out very stingy to most.  Anglers had some small bites but with the demise of some small grassy areas, it was pretty tough out there.  For those anglers, fortunate enough to catch a Bass at all was a testament to their hard work and time spent on the water.




 
Let's get to it.



Today, 10 of SJHT finest came out to battle and catch Giants at MANASQUAN RES.

So WHEN the ranger stated that a herbicide was done a couple days earlier, it was no wonder how lackadaisical the fishing was.

Without further adieu, please give a big congrats for this weeks 1st place winner  Jackson *Silent Assassin* Fu with 3 Bass going 8.50lbs   2nd Place was won by Rob *Always in it* Masterson with 3 bass going 5.58lbs  3rd Place was won by Bill *The Hammer* Leach with 3 Bass going 4.62lbs.   Miscellaneous was won by Dennis *Jiggen Den* Tolentino with a sunny going .53lbs.
