LUIGI MINERVA, Passaic Valley Innovations keep fishers from missing the boat DON ECKER By Greg Mattura Correspondent The 1991 All-Passaic County boys soccer team has a Clifton and Passaic Valley flavor, with half of the 14 honorees coming from the two schools.

Clifton placed Lester Lembryk, Jozef Greczek, Marek Halupka, and Sean O'Connor. The are joined by Passaic Valley's Rich Ferraro, Wilkin Babilonia, and Filippo Baldino. The Hornets' Rob Osieja was named Coach of the Year. Rounding out the squad are Wayne Hills' Lona Oppewall and Jason Coutts, David Siljanovski of Pompton Lakes, Gene Ferrari of West Milford, Ted Castell of Wayne Valley, Dennis Mancero of Don Bosco Tech, and Kennedy's Alex Echeverry LESTER LEMBRYK, Clifton The only sophomore on the first team, the two-year starting goalie had 10 shutouts, including a double-overtime, 1-0, Group 4 Section 1 playoff final win over Kearny. "He did a super job for a sophomore and he kept his composure at all times," coach Fernando Rossi said.

"He doesn't give up too many rebounds, and one of his major improvements was working in traffic." FILIPPO BALDINO, Passaic Valley Honorable mention last season, the senior defender anchored a defense that posted eight shutouts and allowed a county-low 15 goals in 20 games. He had two goals and three assists. "Phil is like the Rock of Gibraltar," Osieja said. "Nobody beat him; he made no mistakes all year, and he has tremendous skills to go with his knowledge." He'll likely attend Kean or Montclair State. JASON COUTTS, Wayne Hills To illustrate how far he's come, the senior defender wasn't even honorable mention last season.

He helped the team post seven shutouts, a 1.0 goals-against average, and a 15-5-1 record, including a share of the County crown. "This year he's just done a phenomenal job," Nelson Graham said. "He's a marking stopper-back, and he does it better than anybody I've seen." DENNIS MANCERO, Don Bosco Tech A first- team midfielder in 1990, the four-year starter was moved to defense this season. The versatile Mancero had eight goals and four assists for the 8-9-1 Rams. "Leadership and experience is what he gave us this year," Nick Bucci said.

"He could have played for- ward or midfield, but we needed his experience in the back." Division II power Southern Connecticut is interested in him. SEAN O'CONNOR, Clifton The junior helped the Mustangs yield just 24 goals en route to a 16-4-3 season and Group 4, Section 1 title. He had three assists. "What makes him so good is he's able to read "and set up his defense," Rossi said. "But his main asset is consistency.

In the two years he's played, you can count his mistakes on one hand. He's a tremen-. dous athlete who can only get better." WILKIN BABILONIA, Passaic valley The senior midfielder was second team last season. He had a county-best 23 assists and 12 goals, including the score that helped earn a share of the County crown. "Wilkin is probably the toughest little man I've seen," Osieja said.

"He's got a burning desire to succeed no matter what the odds." Hell continue playing in the New Jersey Athletic Conference. TED CASTELL, Wayne Valley A junior who recently turned 16, the midfielder led the up-and-coming Indians to a 10-9-1 season. He had 16 goals and seven assists. "Teddy is a rapidly maturing player who's going to be a real force in Passaic County," Endre Krajcsovics said. "His ability to read the game and then move into position to exploit the other team's defense are his strengths." ALEX ECHEVERRY, Kennedy An All-County defender last season, the senior played midfield this season for the 8-9-3 Knights.

He had 12 goals and eight assists. "He was a spark to the team, definitely a leader," Ivan Madjar said. "He was unstoppable in the air; that's one of his strong points, besides being able to pass with both feet." Several schools are interested, including Seton Hall and Southern Con- GENE FERRARI, West Milford A second-team forward in 1990, the senior makes it as a midfielder. His 20 goals and school single-season record 10 assists helped deliver a school mark for wins (16) as well as a first County semifinal visit. "He's fast, has very good ball-handling skills, and his shooting skills are excellent," John Hartley said.

He's interested in Seton Hall and Connecticut. MAREK HALUPKA, Clifton The junior came from nowhere to make the first team as a midfielder. He had eight goals, including his team's lone score in a 2-1 County semifinal loss to Wayne Hills, and 13 assists. "He was our playmaker, the one who directed the offense," Rossi said. "He was the filter between our defense and our forward line." RICH FERRARO, Passaic Valley The three-time All-County forward led the Hornets to a 17-1-2 record.

The senior had 42 goals and 21 assists for career totals of 101 and 64. He is believed to be only the 20th to score 40 goals in a season and the 14th to break 100 in a career in State history. "Rich is probably the greatest natural striker I've seen in my 10 years of coaching," Osieja said. He's considering Princeton, Columbia, and Loyola, Md. JOZEF GRECZEK, Clifton The two-time All-County forward tied his own school record for goals in a season with 31, including the game-winner in the 1-0 victory over Kearny.

The senior also had 14 assists. "He's a great kid, a great player, and it's a coach's dream to have someone like that," Rossi said. "He's a total player." He is also a legitimate Division I prospect. LONA OPPEWALL, Wayne Hills Honorable mention in 1990, the senior forward had 24 goals and six assists. He had both goals in a 2-1 County semifinal win over Clifton.

"He has improved immensely from year to year since I've had him," Nelson Graham said. "And he is nowhere near his peak." Oppewall would like to continue at either Santa Clara, San Diego St, St Louis, or Seton Hall. DAVID SILJANOVSKI, Pompton Lakes A two-time All-County forward, the junior helped the Cardinals improve from 4-11-1 to 9-6-2. He had 20 goals and 14 assists. "David has always been the spark of the team," Sam Ciervo said.

"The boys look to him for guidance and direction, and he was always able to give it, even at a young age. We're really looking forward to next year." A large percentage of freshwater lake and pond anglers do most of their fishing from shore. Dedicated though they may be, some share the feeling that they are not part of the freshwater fishing mainstream that seems to focus on high-powered boats, electronics, and the latest in super-fancy fishing gear. Ignored if not forgotten, they simply go fishing on their own, without the constant stream of how-to assistance and new ideas readily offered to their boat-based brethren. Fortunately, shore anglers can make good use of lots of the latest tackle, gear, techniques, and information, and can employ many of the same concepts used by boat anglers.

The first step: get serious about the sport and learn how to catch more and bigger fish with consistency. Study the species you seek, be it bass, trout, pickerel, catfish, or panfish. Read everything you can books, magazines; plus watch the many instructional videos on the market. Attend seminars, and ask plenty of questions. Experienced angling lecturers will talk about the types of habitat that should hold the most promise, and will cover how fish movements are influenced by seasonal changes.

A vital step become an informed lake map reader. These maps are as useful to shore anglers as those who fish from boats. An excellent source for maps of the lakes in our region is the International Map Company, 547 Shaler Ridgefield, NJ. 07657, phone (201) 93-5550 or 943-6566. the year.

Focus on spots with nearby access to deeper water. Fish move up to more shallow food shelf areas to feed on minnows and other forage fish and crawfish. The better areas have several steps at different depths. From the angler's point of view, the best food shelf spots are situated Be-that the deeper dropoffs ca be reached with longer casts. By studying maps of several lakes, the shore-based angler can create an inventory of likely not spots in the same way as the boa) angler.

The idea is to move around" until the fish are located. Not cry ery spot will produce on every trip. When a particular kind of spot and technique works, repeat the pattern in other locations. jt. Tackle selection is more critical I' for the shore angler, who ha to tote his gear.

Bring only what you need, but include a wide enough -range of lures to fish various depths. It's better to bring a vari ety rather than a dozen of the same type and purpose. Include several jigs, some plain hook, split shot, floats, and natural or live bait if weight and distance fcr -not a problem. Wading can improve the range of shore-based anglers, but as auS wading, safety is vital Soft mucky bottoms, sharp drop-dffs, and other hazards must be avoid- ed. A good knowledge of the areas to be fished is mandatory.

The serious shore angler catches plenty of fish, without the day's end boat ramp hassle, and at a far lower cost per trip. It's a great way to enjoy the wonderful rpott ef fishing. OUTDOORS Another source is New Jersey Sportsmen's Guides, P.O. Box 100, Somcrdale. NJ.

If on private, it is often possible to gain access by polite inquiry. I know several anglers who have an inventory of private farm ponds to fish that can produce lar-gemouth bass up to eight pounds. But more of that in another column. Good shore fishing spots vary as to species and seasonal productivity. During spawning periods, fish frequent shallow areas.

Again, at times during the summer and fall, fish move into the shallows to feed, and will stay shallow if sufficient weed or brush cover is available. If such shallows are also close to deep water drops, some first-rate fishing is possible during much of.
