A historic marker could be erected to honor the victims of the racist mass shooting at the Dollar General store in Jacksonville’s New Town neighborhood nearly a year ago. If approved by the Jacksonville City Council, a marker would be installed at Kings Road and Canal Street on Aug. 25, a day before the first anniversary of the shooting, when a white gunman took the lives of three Black people.

Breaching Whale Smashes Fishing Boat in Wild Video

New Jersey State

Debby did wonders for the fluke fishing over the past week as the tropical system put some favorable winds and warmer ocean temperatures in the queue. The fluke have responded, whether it pushed a new body of fish in or rejuvenated the feed, but the bite has been on in the ocean. Bayside locations are still showing tons of shorts with very few keepers being landed, especially in Barnegat and Great Bay. Areas closer to the inlet started to produce better numbers of keeper fluke. Tog fishing continued its pace with lots of fish being caught along most rocky or bridge locations. The nearshore bluefin bite is on with many boats hooking up on bluefin from jigging to plugs. Offshore canyon fishing had another stellar week with yellowfin and tilefish being landed. August is shaping up to be a much better month than July!

Migrants enrolled in the Denver Asylum Seekers Program won’t get cash benefits after all. The council amended a contract with Haven for Hope during the Safety, Housing, Education and Homelessness Committee meeting Wednesday. Instead of Haven of Hope providing migrants with cash assistance on debit cards, it will instead provide “culturally appropriate” food.

Sailing out of West Ocean City, Captain Monty Hawkins of Morning Star Fishing reported some decent sea bass fishing after the passing of Tropical Storm Debby late last week. The captain said the bite left much to be desired, but overall, it was a good day considering they had a boat full of youth anglers under the age of 12. After dropping some reef pyramids they found a patch of flotsam that was loaded with small mahi and some “buoy jacks”—which are typically a mix of lesser amberjacks and banded rudderfish. Once on the sea bass grounds, they had a slow pick of keepers and plenty of shorts both on butterfly jigs and baited hooks. One of the adults on the trip managed to claim the high hook and even won the pool with a 21-inch sea bass. They’ll continue to sail for sea bass and mahi as long as conditions allow, but with Hurricane Ernesto moving up the coast into early next week, some residual storm swells may keep boats at the dock. Give them a call to inquire about upcoming availability.

10 Best Lines for Surf Fishing

A good bass fishing pond should have clear water, ample aquatic vegetation, and plenty of brush piles. These features provide necessary cover and suitable habitat for bass, allowing them to thrive. Ponds should have more shallow water than deep water to support bass activities during the summer. In warm weather, bass tend to stay in water that is no deeper than 5 or 6 feet. Ensuring these characteristics will create an environment conducive to both the growth and health of bass populations. Clear water allows sunlight to penetrate, promoting the growth of aquatic plants that provide food and shelter for various organisms. Aquatic vegetation, such as water willows and lily pads, offers bass hiding spots to ambush prey and escape predators. Brush piles add structure to the pond, creating additional habitats for smaller fish and insects that serve as food for bass. Shallow areas warm up more quickly, making them ideal feeding grounds during cooler mornings and evenings. Properly designed ponds with these elements can support a diverse and abundant fish community, enhancing the overall fishing experience with a more productive environment.Our newest FreshBaitz Mandingo Trick Worm is the ultimate game-changer for anglers with a passion!

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, is still looking for a forever home for an adorable six-year-old French bulldog named Joannie. The local animal rescue explains: “Joannie was found as a stray extremely emaciated and less than half her current weight now. She was missing fur on her body, face and ears. She has been nursed back to health and is doing wonderfully. While her age and exact history is unknown, it is clear she has mothered more than enough litters in her short lifetime.”
