  1. Past hour
  2. I may go tomorrow the remainder of the week looks like crappy weather, plus the battery in my camera getting low
  3. Oh! That's the mysterious NorthJerseyensis GardenStateus Turkeyopolis - myth has it they use to roam the mountains of Sussex in the early Cretaceous period, but fossil remains have been found and dated to as late as the 2010s.
  4. I have my C - tag -- but was in in New York this Morning. I heard 1 Bird in a popular Public Piece. He Gobbled 3 Times in 15 minutes and marched out of the Field and back into the Swamp. 0 for 14 Mornings. I will just keep going out until my Luck Changes. Anyone else go out this Morning?
  5. Every few weeks I get a pic of one or two of these birds. I used to get as many as deer up until a few years ago. Seemed to coincide with the increase in Bobcat sightings.
  6. Today
  7. Yikes simply impressive ! Prehistoric !
  8. Great striper nothing like hangin' in the surf !
  9. There are times when to use indicator and times when not to use. rough water or rapids pretty much useless. Low water again useless.. The older I get and my eyesight failing the more I use indicator. Also, sensitivity of rod. You can feel everything with a good fly rod. If you can see good watch your leader or fly line you can do without indy. Line stops or feel a bump set the hook. I think what Brian is saying novices are always setting the hook or do not watch the sighter. If you make your own leader or Monorig you build the sighter in . I use the Dorsey yarn (hate bobbers) to keep nymph just off bottom. I also use a little bigger dry fly to do the same with small nymph as second fly .. Again in very fast water it is useless. I do understand what nmco is saying I do catch more when I can see my line or indy. This is why mono rig works well no slack in line. You feel everything and see with sighter line. But it has its disadvantages too. I do still like traditional with fly line and leader. Especially for dry flys. With fly fishing you have to set up or ready for a lot of different situations. Which is what is so cool about it. Like traditional archery really.
  10. On Friday, May 3rd, the Hawaii legislature adjourned sine die from their 2024 session. While Senate Bill 2845 passed in the final days of the legislative session and will restrict ammunition possession by individuals under 21, several anti-gun bills failed to advance this year. Thank you to NRA members and Second Amendment supporters for your active involvement during this year’s session.View the full article
  11. A novice fly fisherman will miss EVERY strike if all they do is watch the bobber bounce up and down without setting the hook. I agree that using a bobber for newbies is the way to go, but once past that newbie stage, try to do without.
  12. That fresh haddock is one of my top three fin fish to eat but it has to be fresh. I try not to over spice it I’m looking for the fresh taste of the ocean my other to favorites are tile fish and halibut
  13. A liberal on a motorcycle and a vacuum cleaner? the vacuum cleaner has the dirt bag on the inside
  14. Nice! Use #157 for the Jetsled!
  15. Looks fantastic,,,,,,,,gonna give this a try with striped bass
  16. I hear the clam bite is pretty good right now. Congrats
  17. I hope KC takes a dump under your seat. Lol
  18. On Saturday, May 4th, the Senate Finance Committee passed HB 24-1349, the guns & ammo excise tax, out of committee with an amendment. The amendment reduces the tax from 9% down to 6.5%.View the full article
  19. They are mean, also recall a post somewhere of one trying to eat a trout from a stringer.
  20. We will disagree on this forever..........a novice fly fisher (anyone you are guiding) will miss twice as many strikes without an indicator. There are few fly fisherman that can see or feel a bite EVERY time without an indicator.
