I still gotta catch me some of these, especially if they are good eating!

They are a brackish species?

Yes, best from the Manasquan south due to access. Best access is county parks along lower brackish stretches. The Toms, 7 bridges road in Tuckerton, Port Republic and south you cannot miss.

Here along the Toms @ Barnegat Bay, 6+" according to the NWS. The Toms is rippin', 833cfs, mean is 216.

Thank YOU, for 15 years of GST

Tried that, also in the freezer for a while. Going to try some hair dryer heat followed by a bag of ice. I'm thinking with all the cork around it, the ferrule in the handle is insulated. If the dryer doesn't help, will soak it in some ice water.

Have a Fenwick 4 piece pack rod from the late '60's that has traveled with me over the past 50 odd years. It's a convertible rod where the handle can be reversed or spin or fly fishing. Its stuck, cannot remove the rod section. :cry: Have tried the 4 methods I know with no luck, but this is a bit di...

I use my Fenwick F74-4 fly/spin combo hollow fiberglass rod with a Mitchell 308 and 4lb test. Have had this combo for many, many years for my travels. Best trout lure I've found is the Jakes lure, any one of them in the correct size.

Only because they are in surf range. It was like this last year into January, but you had to be in a boat. Where the bait goes, so go the stripers.

No end in sight. If you have never caught a striper, now is the time to try. Does not matter what you throw at them.

This will be a year for the record books.

Shenandoah, some of the best Brookie fishing. Washington/Jefferson NF is another very nice spot, even fewer people.

Let us know how quickly your CC is issued. I am holding off, but mainly because I seldom see trout big enough to be concerned for my life while out of the house working. When I do, I'll be packing some serious heat :lol: It's not protection from trout I am concerned about :mrgreen: I live in a smal...

Next purchase will be in the next month or so I will get a kayak. With foot pedals will fish out of it but need to get it ready and used to it so I can duck hunt with it My Son just did that, got a Hobie and rigged it out. As for me I'm about to order a solo canoe, the current one I have is getting...

They have a FaceBook site.

A friend runs this FB page, all entrances to YNP are closed and some evacuations are taking place. Have to wonder what the fishing will be afterwards.

It is time to start hypermiling again. On a trip to Maine when hypermiling was the thing, I was able to get 28mpg out of my Grand Cherokee, it has a screen that displays real time fuel mileage which is a big help. I just made reservations for Yellowstone next year and will be driving out, probably b...

IMO, they did not go far enough with the closures, they forgot about the 'in-river picnic' crowds.

They are on the Mullica River, launched in Lowr Bank. The Mullica is known for its White Perch in Collins Cove during winter.
