This Mornings wind and rain proved to be a blessing in disguise

Had great topwater popper action with Bass to 26" and Blues to 9 lbs. Really lovin the fact that our rivers are paying off. We would be toast without so many options and one thing is for sure, if boat wasn't trailered we couldn't take advantage of this.
Sorry no pix, way to wet to breakout the gear. Oh and later on we switched over to fluke and only got one, but is was a 22" on a bucktail and gulp combo.

Empire Wind 1- A Fish Factory in the Making

Image
Local boat-based fishermen from Northern New Jersey (Think Raritan Bay) and Western New York (Think Jamaica Bay) will soon have 54 new fishing hotspots to explore. Empire Wind 1 and Empire Wind 2 is a “pizza slice” shaped offshore wind lease area,   located 13 miles south of Jones Beach, New York, and 19 miles east of Long Branch New Jersey. It is wedged between the shipping channels, with the tip  near  the infamous offshore hotspot known as the “Cholera Bank”. This project has been in the works for a while, since 2017, when the lease was awarded, and continues to move forward.    Empire Wind 1 (EW1) was one of the first wind energy areas to enter the multi-year process in the Bight.  It will be supported locally at the first New York-based “wind port” in South Brooklyn, transforming the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (SBMT) into an offshore wind hub. The most recent news about Empire  Wind 2 (EW2)  is the cancellation of the Offshore Wind R...

Why fisherman should unite to stop the burning of fossil fuels for electricity

Image
Recreational anglers are seeing firsthand that warming waters mean that species are moving farther north than ever before – disrupting fisheries management and throwing off fish migration patterns. Combined with the fact that offshore wind turbines act as artificial reefs that attract fish, many anglers support responsibly developed offshore wind power. However, conventional electricity generation is also harming fishing in other, less noticeable ways, such as acidification, mortality in power plant cooling intakes, and mercury pollution. All of these are reasons recreational anglers should welcome more clean energy such as offshore wind power in our state. The burning of fossil fuels for electricity generation creates excess carbon dioxide that, in addition to adding to the greenhouse gas effect, is also deposited in our oceans, making them more acidic. Increased acidity is altering our marine ecosystems and creatures in ways that we cannot readily see, but years of scientific researc...

Paddle trip spotlight: Lawrence Brook

Image
Reel Therapy Kayak Adventures - Local NJ Paddle Destination Spotlight Kayaking the Lawrence Brook, East Brunswick NJ East Brunswick is not the shore, but it is a great place to run to when you need to escape the summer crazyness of the Jersey shore! Only a half an hour inland, this body of water is actually an integral part of the raritan watershed which flows directly into the raritan river and then into raritan bay. Let's just say that any pollution that would occur here would directly affect you at the shore. This part of Farrington Lake in East Brunswick has always excited me. The perfect spot for the recreational paddler and nature lover, the Lawrence brook offers you the unique opportunity to grab some “wild” serenity right in the middle of densely populated Middlesex county. There aren’t a lot of homes that border the water like so many other Jersey spots so you get the feeling that you are tucked away in the wilderness. The dense woodland and steep and or marshy shoreline t...
