Ok... nothing better? It's especially awesome in the winter under a foot of snow then ends up as frozen mache in the snow blower. But hey! Nothing better!

And I never said NJF was the only source of info. That'd be absurd...much like your assumption.

World's not only changing, it's changing at a faster pace than what got us here. I love the term social media, the only thing social about it is it connects the world for all the good and bad that brings with it. It also isolates the world in the sense it's replaced local communities and small businesses as we've known them for years with on line commerce. And it's taken the "personal" out of personal experiences. Social interaction, the character it builds, the experiences it causes and the relationships it fosters is now mostly done remotely or online. The word social is disappearing from society and being replaced by technology.

Al and others mentioned, thanks for many years of writing and the good you did for the sport and fishery and the memories created along the way.

At the Saltwater Show, Al announced that he no longer wants to own two houses -- one in Florida & the other in Manasquan Park, NJ.
So the house in NJ will be up for sale, and there will be a fishing-tackle garage sale on April 14 & 15.

I think this is a blessing in disguise for Al, I'm a big fan of relocating to Florida, he's going to have a blast....too bad I'm going to miss the garage sale...that should be interesting !

I am also sorry to read this news. I always read the ledger and park press for the fishing columns.The mention of Howard Brant brings some great memories back.It was his articles that got me into freshwater fishing and hunting. I remember meeting both of them at the outdoor show.It was a pleasure to shake both guys hands.like the song says "mercy mercy me things ain't what they used to be. " thanks for everything Al and I hope you don't go far.

I must be getting very old as I recall Nelson Benedict's column in the then Newark Star-Ledger.

Let's see...we fish year round....more species to fish for....less closed seasons.....Yes this is heaven. Now I'm LMAO !

It is great . Alas some still have to work.

Although fishing all year round (to me) kind of takes the special out of fishing. That and all the ridiculously old people. LOL
