[/b NEW JERSEY YOUTH DAY SPECIAL DEER HUNT

By Leonard A.Cagno

It was saturday Nov. 22nd , 2008 and time for my grandson's Eric's second deer hunt, not getting a shot On his first hunt. Twelve years of age now he was eagerly awaiting this day for some time now,not to say that I was not.

Five A.M. came early that day,and even grandma got up to make us a great breakfast it was unusually cold for this time of year at grandpa's farm in Wantage, N.J.being only 16 degrees , so we put on all the cloths we owned ,if we were to survive in our two man tree stand for any length of time. Back packs and fanny packs filled up with thermos of hot coffee and hot chocolate we headed up the hill to our tree stand, Located at the edge of the woods, some 350 yards from our farm house and over looking a small two acre field,surounded by stone wall hedge rows and more woods on the far side . I had planted a clover food plot here about three years ago. Day light broke about six A.M. with clear skys and no wind, lighting up the white birches scatered in front of our stand. What a beautiful day . I thanked god for that, and allowing me to be here with one of my five grandsons,and hopefully being able to do the same with my other four grandsons when they are ready, some day.

Must of been about 7][/url]

I think this is the same Bear caught on my cam, at feeder , last Oct. The leg on the bottom of the feeder is 7 ' off the ground . Never thought a Bear could of stood up like that , so straigt. He is a Boar .

Len

Thanks for jumpping in Flashpoint . I agree with your view points . Nice to know we are on the right track .

Roughrider : sounded like they did a number on them on Wed. at Cold Springs. For some reason I just did not get down that far. I am sure they were drifting worms .

We caught that Mako in the Chicken Canyon, 52 miles off shore , out of Manasquan Inlet , in 240' of water. It took all 6 crew members to land it , one guy on the rod. 80 Penn international reel ,130 lb. briaded line , Diawa 80 lb. rod , 15 ' of 600 lb. stainles steel cable leader , two 12/0 hooks , and a 12 lb. Blue fish for bait . It took an hour and 15 min . to land it . Never was able to get it in the boat , just tied it to transom as far up as we could get it out of the water and headed for the scales.

What a day that was . It now hangs on the wall in my Trophy Room . Made lots of steaks out of it .

LOOKING BACK In 2002 my wife and I tried trolling for KING'S in Lake Ontario ,after getting some fine advise from Capt. Jim Dence at ALL SEASON SPORTS , PULASKI, N.Y. He could not have been any nicer. Well call it beginners luck. We did exactly what he sugested. Troll in 140' of water with down riggers at 120' draging Herring Strips , and it paid off with two nice KING SALMON. First King we ever caught was 24 lbs. out from Mexico Pt. it was Aug. 21, 2002 . Our second KING was 34 lbs. taken off STONEY PT. five days later . Thank again Jim

We fished last Thurs. and had a good day , we took a rest on Fri. and fished Sat. also had a good day in the afternoon. I recieved a report that on Fri. they turned on at Noon time. Sat. turned on at 1;30 PM. on the outgoing tide . I am trying to find out which is the best time to fish . Is it with the tides 2 hours before high and 2 hours after , or at Dawn and Dusk . Seems to me we had better luck on the outgoing tide . All comments are welcome , shed some light if you can .

HI Ray

Sounds like you winter at the other end of the Bridge from us. My wife and I stay at Knights Key . We fish when ever the wind slows down. I keep a 25' Sea Pro WA there. We have lots of friends at Sunshine Key . The fishing was good in Jan. , Slowed down in Feb. and picked up pretty good in Mar. Caught some nice Sea Trout and Mangrove Snappers. out back. The Reef was kinda slow for us this year.
