GET CLASSY: It’s time to get seriously Classic. I’m talking the upcoming Long Beach Island Surf Fishing Classic – upcoming as in next weekend. I know, where does the time fly? If it’s smart it goes south for the winter, leaving us with long, cold nights. But let’s not go there since we have an entire fall of fine, best-of-year surf fishing ahead of us.

Helping to fill the stretch of autumnal angling is the nine-week Classic.
