    any pickerel fishermen out there

    I hate pickerel! This is what a 23" pickerel did to me on Friday when I couldn't locate my pliers and decided to stick my fingers down its throat to remove a lure.

    from ongs hat to apple pie hill

    Unfortunately September is the worst month for chiggers. They'll be gone once we get a frost or a few nights in the 30's, which usually occurs in mid/late October.

    Seaside Park boardwalk burning....

    Saw a bunch of fire trucks screaming up the Garden State Parkway around 7pm, and that was all the way down near Somers Point. Must be bad if they need reinforcements from that far away.

    Kayak Fishing Menantico Sand Ponds

    I always fresh water fished from a bass boat and I did feel handicapped at first when I started fishing out of a kayak because you're so much closer to the water line. But I got used to it and now I'm perfectly comfortable in the kayak. I can sit in a higher position in my YAK or stand up, but I...

    Kayak Fishing Menantico Sand Ponds

    Hi, nice to meet you. The only lake I'm aware of in South Jersey with smallmouth bass is Union Lake in Millville, and they were stocked. Menantico Sand Ponds fishes better early in the season. There's lots of perch, bluegill and, of course, pickerel, which can get quite large there. What's...

    Kayak Fishing Menantico Sand Ponds

    Took this pic of a guy fishing near me on East Creek at 6:15am. This was probably the most peaceful spot in Cape May County this morning.

    "Finding Bigfoot" in a rut

    Yep, that and tripping over an exposed root. I tripped over a fallen tree bushwacking back to my truck one night last January near Evans Bridge. Doc said I may never have full range of motion in my right shoulder again.

    Kayak Fishing Menantico Sand Ponds

    The water is spring-fed, so I'm thinking it's probably something in the substrate that's leeching into the water.

    "Finding Bigfoot" in a rut

    It's funny you should mention that. Last winter I was hiking the yellow trail out of Batsto and a guy in four wheel drive pulled up next to me and asked me if I had seen or heard anything suspicious, because Bigfoot had been reported to be in the area. I told him that I have hiked over 5,000...

    Biking the batona trail.

    I live on a barrier island and I'm suffering from a serious case Seasonal Affective Shubbie Disorder. I'm dreaming of a calm, cool, sunny 48 degree day in November on the Batona Trail, with my cell phone turned off.

    Kayak Fishing Menantico Sand Ponds

    Thanks. Been too busy to hook up the fish finder. I'd add a stereo but I use this kayak for freshwater fishing, so I can't because it would scare the fish. Probably won't get the hot tub installed in the rear well until the spring. LOL

    Kayak Fishing Menantico Sand Ponds

    There's a good amount of large mouth bass, giant pickerel and panfish, but I've never heard of anybody catching a small mouth bass in Menantico. You can find small mouth in Union Lake in the weeds at the northern end. The best place for small mouth was, I repeat was, was Lake Audrey near...
