Pickerel fishing seems to be picking up a bit the last week or 2. Bass fishing this summer has been a complete bust.

Come on first frost!

The last week (about 2 or 3 days after the storms), they've been awful. Standing water everywhere.

I canoed the section from Winslow road to Piney hollow Road about 5 or 6 years ago (I think). We needed a chain saw to get past some blowdowns, and there were a lot of portages. It was a beautiful scenic paddle, but it was a lot of work. I hike that area, but most likely won't try to paddle it...

My friend from work went last year. He didn't need a third wheel, he needed a ride. He got hammered, and his wife had to drive home :)

culicoides variipennis midge. Umm, am I the only one who doesn't know what this is?

I think the spot you were at is pretty close to Piney Hollow Road, so it would be a short paddle down stream. I've made it upstream for a little but there are lots of blow downs. I had a canoe, though. You may be able to get much further upstream than I can. The Great Egg Harbor River upstream...

I went out on Friday to one of my "secret spots" for a 4 or 5 hour paddle. First, I found my camera was not working (not off to a good start). I had also left my flower field guide in the truck, and there were flowers blooming all over the place. it was fantastic! Then my 4 or 5 hour paddle was...

I got my 100.00 Maverick buried once and thought of kicking some sand on the roof and leaving it, but a good samaritan pulled me out for free. He said "no charge, you may have to help me some day", or something to that affect. I've tried to help people out ever since. See, there are still some...

That's interesting because my brother Tom and I have found 2 really big pieces of what we thought was bog ore on our last 2 trips. One was on the Oswego and one was on the Batsto. We probed with our paddles and they were huge, submerged about 3 feet deep or so and extending out from the bank...

Tom M and I did this trip again 2 weeks ago. The water level was low so we didn't get as far upstream as we wanted. We got out and drug over a few spots but decided we were too lazy (plus Tom's advanced age) and turned around. It is still a beautilful trip though. As far as fishing, we didn't...

A happy fathers day to all. I enjoyed my fathers day fishing trip early with a very pleasant evening spent on Batsto Lake this past Wednesday. We were treated to an A-10 airshow in the afternoon, then had the lake to ourselves until dark. Man is that a beautiful spot to be at sunset! Greg

Depending on where I'm at, traffic, etc... I usually just stop the car and put the flashers on until the snake is off the road. Some misguided people will run them over on purpose so I at least try to protect them. I''d never think to try to pick one up. This time of year ,though, the snapper...

My wife and I have talked about retiring, moving or staying here. The closer we get to that age, the more we talk about it. So far we've always come to the same conclusion. We've visited lots of nice places, but New Jersey is home. Thus far we haven't found a spot where we could see ourselves...

Yup, Furball. The pickerel fishing was really good, but the most memorable part of the trip was when both seats broke off of Tom's "bondo special" canoe. We laughed so hard I was sure we'd both have heart attacks.

Today, when I turned into our driveway, my wife and I were greeted by a snapping turtle. We have wetlands relatively close to our house, but not close enough where I expected to have a snapper in our yard. I walked him back to the swamp and let him go. Sorry, no pictures as the little guy (or...

A few from this site have canoed upstream from Oswego. It's a great trip to do if you only have one vehicle. On a weekday, and most weekend days, you will have the stream to yourself. It is an absolutely beautiful trip! We parked at the old swimming area, paddled across the lake, went upstream 3...

Or we would move to West VA or the Adirondacks. And what exactly is an ascott?

My excuse is that I'm Polish. Irish people may be stubborn and go where they want. Polish people like myself just get lost and have no clue where they are :) Greg
