Ahh. The glory days. In 1989 I won 1st,2nd 3rd in Bahrs Shark tournament.

Miss those days.

This is a great idea.

Any idea if AHMH will have transient slips available for the weekend? Would love to take the boat over and tie up instead of driving in.

I'm guessing the ramp is gonna be a zoo that weekend!

NJF raft up in the harbor???...:D...anyone have a dingy to shuttle peeps back and forth to shore?

Re: Sharkfest in Atlantic Highlands!!!
 

its called the "Are you Man Enough Shark Challenge" ... surely this will attract only the finest sportsmen to our new jersey waters LOL

:mad: My crew and I will be down in Myrtle beach during Sharkfest. My Topaz holds NJ state Thresher shark record 683 lbs since 2009. It was caught with my buddy Captain Jeff at the helm. Good luck and safe travels to all who participate.

Duff - Pretty sure Atlantic Highlands has transient slips but you should call the harbor master to see if you can reserve one in advance since I would bet they will go fast (732) 291-1670. If not AH then you can try Leonardo State Marina.

An NJF raft up sounds like a great idea too. Maybe Sunday afternoon 6/14 after the tournament?? Lots of places in the immediate area that are great for raft ups. I know there's a launch run out of AH that shuttles people out to the sail boat moorings. I think it's run by the AH Yacht Club so that might be an option.
