 Twenty-One members of Five Alive hit Deal lake today, August 23rd. We had a mix of weather. It was hot and humid, sunny, cloudy, and pouring rain intermitantly throughout the day. Water temperatures were around 82 degrees and the water was muddy in most areas with a greenish tint. The bite was slow and we didn't see the bigger fish we are accustomed to seeing on this Lake. Lunker went to Joe Kraft with a 2.93 pound fish that topped off his bag of 3 fish weighing 7.05 pounds which gave him 3rd place. Second place went to Rich McCrone with 7.14 pounds. Our first place winner was Chris Ringer. Ringo is back! Chris had 4 fish weighing 7.98 pounds. There were no limits caught today we had 15 of the 21 that fished weigh in fish. It was a tough day but not without it's memorable moments. Bruce got his boat stuck on the pilings under the bridge. I got my lower unit caught on a shopping cart, and then we were all met at the ramp by the Asbury Police because 2 wonderful gentleman decided to break into my truck in search of buried treasure. You gotta love Deal huh? Next we head for Lake Hopatcong after a 3 week break. See you there.
