Small Bass, No Gills

Small Bass, No Gills


All bass and not a single gill on the night.




The dinks were on fire last night.  Small bass were the rule....beating the gills to everything.   Not a gill hooked or landed. An odd night for certain. 




Last light gave up  bit more size.


The fish were hitting with a lot more aggression than normally for this water.  It seemed as if that aggression had the rest of the pond sitting the evening out.

All Things August

August Brown



The month of August, with only 3 weeks of the month gone by so far.  


 

Grand-Daughter Macy Jo arrived as blessing to the family. 




Our 2018 Family Beach Vacation is in the books with 50 years of tradition intact.




My youngest is about to open in "Newsies!", making us all proud.




"Pop-Pop" attained the status of 55 years old. Making me eligible for all the "Over 55" communities that are up-and-down the NJ coast.  



The Fig Tree is in peak fruit right now




And the icing on the cake....four fat little "post flood" browns came to hand.  Ensuring me that all is well on my favorite water. 

Nature has a way of showing us that water is unstoppable, and then in a mere instant, heals itself as if nothing ever happened. 

My best to the folks back home recovering. 

Its been busy!....But we are still here.  :)
