All Activity

A end to a hell of a day had birds all over me today once I started to get deeper in guess I just found the right state land on the right day

I didn't see or hear anything today either if it makes you feel better. My son had a tom with 3 hens but couldn't get it to come in.

Well, just to publicly humble myself, I'm getting skunked this week really bad. This morning continues the trend. I have a friend with property that borders a WMA so I parked at his place and walked a half mile into that WMA. Started setting up some decoys just before 5am on the edge of a field (next to some thick woods where I heard a gobbler back on Monday). Then I look at the other side of the field and I notice the woods start to light up -- brighter, brighter... here comes a truck, headlights blaring. I flash him with my headlamp and he very quickly turned around and drove away, so that was nice of him. But now I have no idea where he's going to go and if I have to worry about how close he's going to be. I sat for hours, didn't see or hear a thing except for crows (silver lining: I have a new crow spot ). Around 8:30 when I'm about to pack up, I hear squirrels behind me go crazy - never heard so many squirrels squawking (silver lining #2: I have a new squirrel spot ). I'm thinking there must be a coyote or fox running around behind me. I heard the leaves rustling too - I thought maybe it's a turkey?? Or maybe it's a coyote? But nope... few minutes later, I see a black cat show up 10 feet to my right checking things out, then turns around and goes back into the woods to bug the squirrels some more. I then make the long dejected turkey-less walk back to the truck, and right before I reach the truck, I see a hen cross a field next to where I parked. I don't think the hen was more than 40 yards from my truck. I didn't see a Tom in tow so at least I'm not completely annoyed. B-week is the complete opposite of my A-week. I'll still think fondly of last week and continue to remind myself: the turkeys giveth, and the turkeys taketh away

Bump

you forgot Sluggo's or Ronz on a jig head, which are deadly when they are on sand eels. That seems to be more of a RI to Cape Cod bite, because every time I go up there, they are deadly out fish everything else.

I chose to hit my Home State of New York for the opening day. Heard a bunch of Gobblers. 2 would not commit. 0 for 9 Mornings already. Different Callers tomorrow.

Its best when you catch them in the cast net when youre getting bunker

It all works stripers are one of the easiest fish in saltwater to catch . They will eat a huge variety of baits they can be caught how ever you want to fish worms clams eel bunker heads bunker chunks bunker live bunker yo yo porgies bucktails stick baits pencil poppers glide baits Metal lip swimmers Shad’s mojo umbrella rigs tubes Spoons bunker spoons just pick your method .

I saw a nice buck dead on the skyway by Liberty State Park in Jersey City last fall !

during a hot bite, a big white or yellow stick bait might get you the bigger bass as well. Experienced that last season

Refrigerator is in excellent condition. Was used in garage for spare drinks only. Was never used for a main refrigerator. located exit 80 on the parkway $175 Thanks for looking

The sow with the cubs is a large female, I hope she stays in the area cause she is off limits once the season is opens, the cubs will be under that 75lb mark

Nice going, great pics

I would love to say it works every time but it doesn't. If you start getting sandshark/skates. Give the reel a few cranks. Get it 8-10' off the bottom.

I have tried that a few times - hasn't worked yet, they always seem to prefer livies for me...

Congrats!

Well in the last two months they clear cut the woods behind the park. Easier to spot them now but makes you wonder if they will survive. Maybe that's why there walking around the city.

I leased 110 acres in Sparta, and then had the chance to lease another 700 acres next door but the crew I hunted with refused to shell out the money for it

I saw them one night 2 years ago when my cousin had his wedding reception there

Saw a tagged buck from staten island on rout 78 last year next to the liberty science center in Jersey city. There's a herd of deer living in liberty state park as well. They stay in the woods behind the park during the day, but come into the park at night.

Weather looks "ok" for sat. Sunday looks a little sporty. Anyone running for tuna this weekend? Point pleasant marine forecast: FRI NIGHT E winds around 10 kt. Seas around 3 ft. Wave Detail: E 3 ft at 6 seconds and E 1 ft at 10 seconds. SAT E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas around 3 ft. SAT NIGHT E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas around 3 ft. A chance of showers after midnight. SUN SE winds around 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Showers likely. SUN NIGHT SE winds 10 to 15 kt, becoming SW after midnight. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Showers likely, mainly in the evening.

I’ve been in that boat in Sparta for 15-20 years already.
