THE MYSTERY CONSUMER | CNBNewsnet

\"Cusservice1\"Getting tired of going to the same restaurants all the time? Think about extending your reach. Bordentown, just below Trenton, might seem like the end of the earth for many in South Jersey, but that have a very fine collection of good restaurantsright on Farnsworth Avenue. (FarnsworthAvenue is easily reached by taking Route 295 North from South Jersey, getting off at the Route 130 North exit and making a left at the first traffic light on Farnsworth Avenue. Stay to the left as soon as you get on Route 130. There is no jughandle. Just stay left. \"6a00d8341bf7d953ef019b003971a5970d-500wi\" The restaurant area is about a mile down, surrounded by a number of interesting shops and businesses, perfect for taking a walk before or after dinner.

CNB Hunting/Fishing New Jersey: New State Record Cobia – Spearfishing Category

\"Reccobia15_sp\"The NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife has officially certified, and is pleased to announce, the first entry of a Cobia in the Spearfishing Category of the State Record Saltwater Fish Program.

William Maier of Medford, New Jersey, was off Cape May on July 17, 2015 when he speared the record fish. The fish weighed in at 60 pounds, measuring 56\” in length with a girth of 27\”.

William was out with his father on his 20\’ Boston Whaler the Go Away. He was freediving in 40 ft. of water and saw 3 cobia swimming towards him. He shot the largest with a Riffe Euro 100cm. The fish ran hard and took about 50 yds. of line off the reel. Surfacing, William locked down the line and was towed around for about 15 minutes without the fish tiring. A follow-up shot slowed the fish and allowed William to swim down, get his arms around the fish and swim it to the surface and into the boat.
