    Exploring the lower Sleeper

    Sunday I got into the woods to do some exploring around the lower sleeper, upstream from it's confluence with the Mullica. Most of this area is hidden from aerial photography due to a heavy cedar canopy. About 500ft from the nearest road I found this long abandoned hunting "shack"...

    Blueberry Island

    I was too busy yesterday to go on the PBX Hike but I was able to get into the woods for a few hours. I wanted to investigate a few areas I noticed on historic aerials. Here is a circular clearing that appears on carranza road near sandy ridge in 1931...

    Misadventure on a beautiful day

    Yesterday (friday) was beautiful so I took my 4 year old out fishing along the mullica. Unfortunetely we came across a guy who totally buried his pick up in a mud hole on that road that goes out to wescoat bogs from 206. His friend was there with an expedition, but couldn't get him out with...

    Caution

    Moore property

    I was in the woods yesterday and ran into some friendly hunters. In our conversation, it was mentioned that Sam Moore (Moores Meadows) recently purchased more land and had set up poles to block entry to areas of the woods previously accessable. This would have been along the western edge of...

    I had heard the DEP did this in the early 80's but I was skeptical. August 4th 1981

    Oh No, there is a spider in my pants!!

    Got out in the woods for a bit today. Here is an old bog I fish. this time I visited it from the oppisite end of my usual approach. It is tucked away pretty good and most people pass it by without ever knowning it is there. No deep holes on this side and I walked to the middle of bog...

    Exploring a Tributary

    I went exploring an un-named tributary of the Tulpehocken creek today. Must have hit over 5 beaver dams in a fairly short run. despite all the dams the water was fairly shallow through out. As I worked my way toward the tulpehocken the tributary became more narrow...

    Fishing the center cut

    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...

    Game camera results

    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...

    The mystery Bog and a Nantucket sleigh ride

    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...

    fishing on labor day

    I actually had to work today but before I did I got out and did some fishing. Wasn't having much luck till I switched to the right lure. Then they were hitting real strong. I only took one action photo since the floating sedge everywhere was making it difficult to get a good pose from the...
