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.

An arsonist slept in my garage for 20 years

Recently I witnessed a fast-moving, fully involved house fire a block away from my home in the Park Place development in Tinton Falls. There was a young man inside the house at the time, and if it weren’t for a passerby running into the house and getting him out just in time, this would be a very different and tragic story. We need to seize this moment to learn from this experience and possibly prevent catastrophe and property loss in the future. In talking with my neighbors, it is obvious that many homeowners remain unaware of a potentially lethal fire hazard that could be lurking inside many of our homes. Regardless of the cause of this latest fire (which started in the garage area, the official cause of origin has not been stated yet), this incident demands attention to the original electrical panels that were used when our homes were first built.   Pretty simple, you need to go out to your garage, or wherever your electrical panel is located and open the small metal d...

Illegal trawlers fishing right off New Jersey coastline

Image
The amount of fishing misinformation out there on social media is enough to make me crazy and inspired this blog post. Take a deeper dive into the world of offshore wind power with me and learn more about what these weird-looking ships are and why they are there. These ships may be big and weird-looking, but I assure you they aren’t “Chinese trawlers” or “Omega Bunker boats” netting up millions of pounds of fish. In fact, there isn’t a single fish hook or net onboard. They are Research vessels hired by offshore wind developers to perform surveys of the ocean floor on the coming windfarms. This is all part of the planning process to explore not only the actual turbine locations but all the cable routes. Those tall structures (A-Frames) that you see on deck tow the sonar arrays behind the vessel and map the seafloor. The other tall towers on some ships are for doing the core sampling. Some of the larger vessels even have a helicopter landing pad on the bow giving the ship an odd prof...

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...
