I never know whether to post this stuff under trip report, nature and the environment or here. I went fishing this morning. My first stop was a bog I had never hit before. Well, clearly I was going to have a hard time catching a fish without water. A bog that flucuates this...

thanks for all your suggestions. It appears the initial use of deet has gotten rid of them. I can see that it has affected the plastic alittle. I hope it still functions correctly. Nice shots, Chris.

Real Nice, Brick. great photos of a great subject matter.

Nice report Guy!! Gabe and I were there in '07 and I think that rusty hammer was in the same spot. I think it is the 12th pic down. that is some real wild country out there...

It is rough going. I like to get out there because you really feel as though you are in an area nobody goes...then you find a dug out:rolleyes: Actually, I really don't think the hunters are getting in there other than some cleared deer path to make it to the dug out. The rest is truly no...

Bob, the areas that I've seen these dug outs where as thick, if not thicker than that area. I think the thought is if you clear a path near the dug out, the deer will use it. In every instance I've seen the dug outs, they were near a deer path that had been cleared for easier passage, then to...

Al, On several occasions I have come across dug outs in the plains. Due to the trees diminutive size and being unable to support conventional deer stands, hunters make use of dug outs in those areas. They are usually a few feet above ground with a roof, they kind of remind me of sunken duck...

I posted this under the photographers forum but thought this would be a better place for it. http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/photographers-phorum/7895-game-camera-results.html

I was going to say ribbon snake (but I wasn't 100% certain). I think in addition to the white around the eye (didn't know about that) The head shape is different. I think the bug is a giant water bug, or water beatle or something. That ore shelf is really something!!! cool find on that ore...

Set the game camera out. About 50 exposures, here are some of the highlights. Also, when I picked up my camera I was distrubed to find it was infested with ants. I sprayed some deet in the battery compartment but I am concerned that some might still possibly be living up in the electronics...

I'm also glad the articles are staying.

Nice report Scott. The water level flucuation in the pines is amazing and this year is unusually dramatic, as you pointed out.

Thanks. Yeah that third picture from the bottom really made me think of that River Monsters show.

Okay, So the mystery is why i was not catching fishing there, and then how I figured out how to get them. Why no fish before: Based off of my experience and observations this is why the fish there are so elusive...two main factors;1)an abundant amount of bait fish, two main varietes of...

Nope, nope. this was later in the day and I was returning from Pirate Day with the family which took place in Barnegat. The bog experience was in the morning.

That is messed up. Those savannas are real wild country. They don't belong there.:ghost:(Jack made me put the ghost in there, it has no significance)

Hey Guy, I think the second photo you posted there, with Bob and Chris is actually plow boy and not india sink. But apparently it doesn't matter since you were saying that they were driving trucks into both locations. I recall that india sink was already pretty damaged from ORV use when we...

I saw that also, Bob. I was returning from barnegat.

For years I have fished this one bog with no luck and I could not figure out why. It seemed as though all the conditions for a healthy pickerel population were there but it never really produced. I would often fish it briefly on my return trips from more productive spots. I had many theories...

Hey, lets not forget about the Mutha. PL, I brought George Zimmerman out to see it shortly after I brought PBX out to see it. He was very impressed. http://forums.njpinebarrens.com/get-togethers-events-trip-reports/2227-mutha-all-cedars.html?highlight=mutha Jeff
