Well well...... look who the wind blew into the swamps of South Jersey late last Sunday night. Yep....... yours truly. The plan was to go get into a little fly-fishin` with my good buddy Andrew Dopkin,..... but well,....that didn`t pan out too well as we caught zilch. So at 6;30pm he says, "Hey the hell with this, I feel bad ya drove 2.5 hours.....what do ya say we try to nail some SnakeHeads in the dark?" ---Now I`m always game to have a go at something new & goin` after these ferocious, toothy-critters in the darkness would be just that, I thought. So we headed down to Crown Point.......to see if we could pull this off in the cool, night-time Spring air on foot. Turned out to be a helluva good time as we caught 14 "Snakes" that night! And I took five home to meet my knife, then to meet my fryin` pan & the grill! Ended up rollin` in back home at around 1:30am. A fine night in the swamps indeed.

Hope this finds all of ya doin` well.........

Hiya Andy - to be honest..... don`t know. Never took a crack at `em at night..... worked out pretty good. Well.....as long as ya don`t mind trampin` through a murky swamp in the dark that is.......
