    Is this the warmth....

    I like the colder weather. I went out about 6 weeks ago, it was in the 60's. Checked myself for ticks and didn't find any. 7 days later I found a deer tick dug in. Now I'm being tested for Lymes. I wish it would get cold and stay cold!

    Gabreil Daveis Tavern

    Lots of them in Winslow. Loved watching them at sunset eat those skeeters and black flies!

    Another year

    Thanks Jeff. That was really a good day. I was out this week (one of the foggy days). There was just a quietness that was so peaceful. I stayed out until dark (in the truck with the windows open). It was beautiful.

    Chatsworth Lake Boat Access?

    I usually just park on 532, across from the lake, and carry my canoe to the lake. I've been fishing there since I was a teen, and it's still a good spot for pick's and catfish. Greg

    Chris, I have a few favorite nap spots myself on the Batsto. It's about as good as life can get, to nap in the pines on a nice day. Greg

    The Death of Twinkies?

    I work in a field of work that is non union. If our company was doing poorly, we didn't get raises. They also cut our work week to stay in business. That's life.In today's economy, I didn't understand the strike. Now there are over 18,000 people with no jobs. Everyone lost this battle. For...

    Sandy aftermath

    I walked along the Mullica from Atsion Saturday. The river seemed high and fast. Some trees down in the forest, but not too bad. On the other hand, some of our job sites in North Jersey had 4-6 feet of water at high tide.

    Chatsworth Lake Boat Access?

    Ummm, not many 20" + Picks, and no Bass. Occasional Catfish. It's still a pretty spot though. Greg

    Great News If You're A Pine Barrens Hiker

    Ah, I can hear their screams now. It's payback time for the dozens and dozens of bites I've gotten this year from the varmint cong chiggers!

    Visiting a Swamp 8 Years Later

    Guy, I've visited so many beautiful swamps in the pines I couldn't identify the location of this one. As far as boots go, Lacrosse is the most comfortable boot I've ever worn. I wear steel tipped for work and Lacrosse are great. They are finally wearing out and I can't find them, but that's what...

    Al-Qaeda blamed for Europe-wide forest fires

    So while I'm out hunting, should I shoot anyone who looks Islamic? This just sounds like paranoia to me. Al-Qaeda behind every tree? Come on folks, New Jersey's most recent, largest forest fire was an accident caused by our own military.

    It Could have been Worse

    Gibby, I almost did the same thing you did except it was winter. Temps had been well below freezing and I carelessly assumed the marsh was frozen solid. I was almost to the bank of the Oswego, upstream of Martha. I then decided to test the ice, so I hit it with my hiking stick. It easily broke...

    Thanks everyone. The pictures still won't upload, I'll have to check why. If they don't upload, I'll just lie and make the fish bigger. :) Health wise, I've had a challenging 18 months, but am still enjoying life! I'm hoping to be just about past those issues and fully expect to be posting...

    Another year

    And so, another year has passed. My annual birthday trip almost didn't happen this year (health, long story). I picked a perfect day, left work early and went to Batsto. The weather was beautiful and the fish cooperated. Pictures wouldn't upload (not sure why), but I had a super day on the...
