Ahhh

Another year almost over. What can I say I do have a lot to be thankful for this year but since I went through 3 phones not that many pictures remain.

Year was full of firsts so lets have them listed:
First keeper striped bass of shore.
First bluefish of shore
First keeper summer fluke of shore
First keeper blackfish of shore
First puffer of shore.

Amazing year on saltwater for me. Had a chance to witness and participate in bluefish feeding blitz frenzy. Absolutely unreal.

On another hand sweet water for me was not that kind but still had an amazing time being out and about.

Of course this year wont be complete without my annual list of places that have received donations of rod and reels.

And places are below:
1st donation was received by Budd Lake. Extra brownie points to whose who will manage to hook up with it this winter. Location: Weeds right to the right of castle.
2nd donation was received by Spruce Run. Extra brownie points as well. Location: About 200 yards from the swimming beach.
3rd donation was received by pond in East Brunswick Park. Forgot the name of it but it does hold a state record for white catfish. No ice fishing allowed there though. Location to the left of parking lot by Riva Rd.

Since year is not over yet looking toward adding some more personal best.

See you on ice you maniacs.
