I'M BLIIIIIND! :D

Yeah that seemed to come out of nowhere... Regardless, besides stepping up enforcement, I can't imagine many other compromises between allowing responsible motorists to recreate in the Pine Barrens and closing the roads to motor vehicles to keep the abusers out (the latter should never be an...

My sons and I fell in love with fishing over the past few years, but this past summer we've done more than we ever have. All three of us really grew to enjoy pursuing catfish this summer. We came to find out that there are 5 species of catfish in NJ, and by the end of the summer, we had caught...

Bob (or anyone else), do you know if there are residential wells in the area, or if the water is piped in from a treatment facility? If it's the former, I'd be even more concerned...

I'll have to check that show out! Sounds interesting. We are fascinated by shows/movies that address the topic, although often find it depressing at the same time. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul were outstanding, although the interface between the main characters' stories and the drug trade...

Well, the next forest fire that goes through Shamong will have an interesting effect. :smug:

Agree with those saying he should not have been blocking the road, if his intent was to walk off and leave his truck there to prevent others from accessing the area. Was he still unpacking his truck when you went the alternate route? As far as what you described about the situation, it seems to...

Bob should you report it to the DEP? I would think that a dump site built in the last 80 years should be lined or drained properly to prevent that sort of contamination no? Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that should be happening...

Okay folks I'm back with another fishing question! It seems like bullhead catfish are not unheard of in the Pine Barrens, we've caught a few here and there. I think my big question is how dense are the catfish populations in the Pine Barrens, and are they also known to inhabit old bogs with the...

Hey Greg, I liked the video. A few years ago I brought up the possibility of green treefrog/PBTF competition and it turned into a good and informative discussion. See the link below: https://forums.njpinebarrens.com/threads/pbtf-and-green-tree-frog-range-overlap.9947/ Also, I don't know...

Excellent! We will check them out!

Thanks everyone! 46er, about those rainbows, it wasn't for lack of trying! We did go out twice for rainbows and came up short. Once was a colder day in November, we tested out the new waders at Pequest/Lockwood and -nothing-, then we tried again more recently and we threw San Juan worms...

Okay I just have to put this up here because it's a funny coincidence. My younger son has taken a real interest in fly fishing. He sleeps with his fly rod (seriously). All winter long we've been tying flies together and casting in the backyard. I recently decided to take him somewhere to a...

You have a good point, I never considered the possibility of distal and proximal proximities before. :D

A few of you recently helped me with suggestions for places to get out and fish for pickerel, both in my fishing thread and over PM. We had a chance to get out a few times before the park restrictions and we were successful! My older son always outfishes me but I wouldn't have it any other way...

I'm very sorry for your loss

Try the Mullica River Wilderness Trail, which is adjacent to Tom's Pond Trail (it's the yellow trail on the Wharton Map). Starting from Batsto Village, it hugs the river for a good stretch. It's a really nice hike, and from Batsto to the first campground is probably a 3-4 mile hike one way...

Sickening

No, but that's not a bad idea, now I know what to ask my next of kin to do with my ashes :p From the EPA website: "Active recreation refers to a structured individual or team activity that requires the use of special facilities, courses, fields, or equipment. Examples of Active...

From what I have experienced so far, I agree that it will not. Active recreation will always bring in more money to the landowner and the parks systems than "passive recreation" (never liked that word), so the choice will often be an easy one for the landowner/parks system. Ironically, I don't...
