A week or so has passed since our last full blog update. There is so much Fly Fishing, shooting, Hay making and exploration occurring, it is summertime and the living is easy! We have been carefully chronicling all of the adventures for your weekday amusement.
Hunter Safety Course
Mark and I successfully passed the New Jersey Hunter Safety Course on Saturday June 9th at the Clinton Wildlife Management Area. It is an excellent course with very useful infield instruction.
Remember these three rules:
- Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.
- Know your target, in front and beyond.
Sleepy Hollow Lake Bass Tournament
This was a complete bust, we failed to pre-register the boat and it didn’t start in the morning. We are looking forward to finishing Gil’s boat project so we can fish the legendary Sleepy Hollow Lake. The New York State White Crappie record was taken here in 2001 (White Crappie 3 lb. 13 oz. James Weinberg Jig Sleepy Hollow Lake, Greene Co. 6/9/01).
Target Shooting
On Sunday, Mike, Deb and I shot the Remington 12 Guage at clay targets out on the MKFF Proving Grounds. The weather is significantly better than last week for outdoor activity. Check out the pictures of the fun.
Panfish Update
Again, on the MKFF Proving Grounds we have been pounding the water for Bass quite hard lately. At this point in time it appears the Sunfish are building their nests near the shore. The Bass fishing dynamic has been altered. The biggest Bass are circling the pond surface while the smaller guys are hiding in the weeds.
