It's a bad drought. Gov. Christie has declared a state of emergency for some counties due to drought conditions. Luckily, we got some rain in mid-summer or this would be a whole lot worse.
It always breaks my heart to see bass going home in a bucket. I feel bass, especially the big females, have a lot more value swimming free in the water making anglers happy than it does on a stringer feeding some selfish jack-off and poisoning his ugly family with the mercury all NJ bass are contaminated with.
