    I wasn’t intending to sound callous with my post. We’re taking this very seriously here. My wife has an MSN and she knows nurses who are sick or just plain worn out already from 4-5 12 hour shifts a week and personally knows a couple nurses that worked under the nurse manager from NYC that...

    CLOSED

    This stinks! Getting out into Wharton was one of the few things I still had to look forward to and my wife wasn’t freaked out about me leaving the house for. A few bad apples, right? Got that email around 1:20, grabbed some water and my bike and was on the road for one last ride by 1:30. Only...

    Pine snake and eels

    Came across this guy sunning itself in the middle of the road yesterday. Looks like the eels had a good spawning year. We saw quite a few hanging out in the shallows.

    Stop Signs at Bridge

    Maybe something structural you can't see from above.

    Man Goes Missing During Hunting Trip

    I was just thinking about this whole situation the other day and what could've lead to this.

    I see now that was posted already. Oh well. I missed it, maybe some others did too.

    Duck and Cover Baby !

    While following your link I found this bit of good news from November. Eight More Charged in DEP Crackdown to Combat Illegal Dumping on State Lands - DEP News Release, 11/28/14 http://www.state.nj.us/dep/newsrel/2014/14_0127.htm

    Duck and Cover Baby !

    I'm pretty sure at least one of the guys I ran into in Wharton on a Sunday last year knew he wasn't supposed to be there. I saw him before he saw me and when he saw me coming down the trail he tried to nonchalantly stash his bow behind the tree he was about to go up or had just gotten out of...

    Duck and Cover Baby !

    I'd still wear the blaze orange on Sundays. Sunday bow hunting for deer is now legal on state WMA's and private property in NJ. Bow hunters tend to be safer than some of the one week a year militia style hunters but it seems to me like the allowance of crossbows has drawn some of the trigger...

    Bombing Range Road?

    While it's not technically the pine barrens. Some of the areas around it look and feel like the pines. Blueberry Hill off of United State Avenue by the Lindenwold park has a great view of Philadelphia.

    Anyone paddle the Upper Batsto River recently?

    Thanks for the info Jersey Jeff. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought Hawkins Bridge was on the Wading River. I'll be sure to check the water gauges before I go. I'm trying to find out if there's a lot of downed trees. I don't mind sawing out some smaller stuff, but don't want to have...

    Pickerel from the pines

    Also had one that had to be pushing 30"+ ram the kayak on my figure 8 at the end. Scared the crap out of me and almost fell out. Don't know how it didn't knock it self out it torpedoed me so hard.

    Pickerel from the pines

    Lightly weighted soft plastic minnows dead drifted like a nymph in the channels and bends and Mepps Timberdoodle with a short soft plastic trailer fished deep in the channels.

    Anyone paddle the Upper Batsto River recently?

    Has anyone paddled from Hampton Furnace to Quaker Bridge recently? Is it passable? Trying to plan an overnight at lower forge and I won't be able to get onto the water till mid afternoon and don't want any surprises come late afternoon or evening.

    Pickerel from the pines

    Not sure why it put the same picture up twice but the first two are the same fish.

    Pickerel from the pines

    Better late than never, but here's some highlights from a great day of fishing on the Batsto River at the end of April. A 22" 21" & 19" pickerel. Also had a bunch of 8"-12"ers, about 15 fish all together. All were returned to the gene pool. Had a bald eagle cruise by so close I could see his...

    New Guy Wants to Talk Kayaks and Canoes

    It's dangerous to paddlers whatever it is. I didn't notice any trails to it. Are you supposed to shimmy across it? Any idea why it's all the way out there? I saw a few posted signs and assumed the land owner was just being a D while trying to keep people off his river.

    New Guy Wants to Talk Kayaks and Canoes

    I paddled my kayak upstream from Goshen Pond late last fall. According to the locator beacon on google maps on my phone I made it a little more than halfway to Jackson Rd with no real issues. Could've kept going but I only had a few hours to get out. The water was high enough to make it over a...

    Man Goes Missing During Hunting Trip

    Maybe try calling some local news channels and newspapers. Jeff Cole from Fox29 seems to get good results when it comes to government agencies. Channel 6 has a "call for action" hotline 1-866-978-4232. It's amazing to see how many people change their tune when the local news puts a camera in...

    Man Goes Missing During Hunting Trip

    As someone who spends a lot of time in the pines alone my heart goes out to this family. I can't imagine what they are going through. Does anyone have any new information on this situation? I can't believe the Ocean County sheriff's dept wouldn't volunteer the use of their dogs, or that the...
