Garden State Outdoor Sports Show

garden state outdoor sports show

Hi there!

I just received an e-mail that I wanted to share with you about the upcoming Garden State Outdoor Sports Show.

Here are the contents:

The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife’s Garden State Deer Classic is slated for January 10 – 13, 2013 as part of the Garden State Outdoor Sports Show taking place at the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison, NJ. 

This year’s display and show promises to be the best ever. Continuing on the success of last year’s program, the newly refurbished Deer Classic and Division of Fish and Wildlife display will be a focal point for the show. To complement the already high quality vendor and educational seminar line-up, the Show has added several new attractions like the 3D Archery Tournament and Kids Zone, which are sure to excite the outdoor enthusiast.

Again this year, the show is pleased to provide two very good reasons to purchase admission tickets online:

-For every ticket sold online, the show is donating $1.00 to New Jersey’s Hunters Helping the Hungry (HHH). HHH is a non-profit organization working with regional food banks that enables hunters to donate venison to the needy while addressing the overpopulation of deer in New Jersey. Purchasing an online ticket is a great way to support Hunters Helping the Hungry so it can continue to provide hunter donated venison to people in need.

-Along with the show ticket, online ticket purchasers are being offered a 1 year subscription to a choice of Field & Stream, Caribbean Travel & Life, Outdoor Life or Popular Science magazine.

To take advantage of this great offer purchase tickets online at http://osg.ticketleap.com/garden-state/t/HHH13/

Did you catch that?!? You can get a free subscription to Field and Stream or Outdoor Life just by purchasing your tickets online!  Not a bad deal!

If you’ve never been to one of these shows, take the family and make a day of it, you’ll have a great time. They are informative and lots of fun!

Take care and I’ll catch you later!

Trout Fishing Season In NJ

Hello Fellow Fisher-folk, how are you all doing?

I just finished the God-awful income taxes for another year! Yay!!!! It’s such a horrible thing and it usually takes over 2 weeks for me to complete everything.

And of course you know I missed Trout Opening Season here in NJ because of the income taxes this year! You know, I’ve never been able to go to opening day for Trout fishing here in NJ … something ALWAYS comes up! So I hope you had better luck than I did and that you were able to go and catch a few trout.

I received an e-mail from the NJ Fish and Wildlife Department that I thought I’d share with you, in case you aren’t privy to that info. There are lots of nice links in the mail.

Check it out:

The most anticipated day on the New Jersey fishing calendar is the opening day of trout season, which falls on April 7 this year. More than 180,000 trout have been stocked for opening day anglers, including thousands of breeders that measure 17 to 24 inches and weigh 3 to 8 pounds.

During April and May, nearly 600,000 trout, including more than 5,000 breeders, will be stocked in nearly 200 streams, ponds and lakes throughout New Jersey. Nine ponds and small lakes will each get a special allocation of 30 to 50 breeder trout providing great opportunities for many anglers to catch that trout of a lifetime. This year’s Bonus Broodstock Ponds and Lakes are listed at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/bonus_brdstk12.htm.

The entire spring trout season stocking schedule can be viewed at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/trtinfo_spring.htm. Weekly in-season stocking information is also available by calling the Trout Stocking Hotline, (609) 633-6765.

There’s a reason the number of New Jersey trout anglers has increased more than 20 percent during the past six years. It’s because trout fishing has never been better in the Garden State, and we’re working to keep it that way in 2012. Don’t miss out this year; join the growing group of anglers who know the value and quality of New Jersey trout fishing.

In just minutes, you can be on your way to enjoying some time in the outdoors while experiencing the thrill of trout fishing in New Jersey. Simply visit http://www.njfishandwildlife.com to buy and print your fishing license and trout stamp online. Licenses and trout stamps can also be purchased at nearly 200 license agent locations throughout the state listed at http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/agentlst.htm. License buyers have the satisfaction of knowing 100 percent of their money goes toward improving fishing in New Jersey and protecting the quality of the state’s waters both for fish and people.

This message was sent by the NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife to individuals who provided an e-mail address via the DFW license sales website. You can remove or change the address at any time by editing your profile at http://www.nj.wildlifelicense.com/ or by replying to this message with “Unsubscribe” as the Subject.

 
So here’s to another succesful fishing season for us all!

Cheers and I’ll catch you later!

Fresh Water Bass Fishing In New Jersey!

Hi folks,

Just received an e-mail from the NJ Dept of Fish and Wildlife and thought you all might like to read it. So here it is:

When it comes to bass fishing, the Garden State may very well have the nation’s greatest diversity of bass waters and bass fishing opportunities. Mike Iaconelli, a Jersey boy who made it big on the B.A.S.S. pro circuit, credits much of his success to the many different types of New Jersey bass waters he fished as a kid.

Backwoods Angler TV came to New Jersey last summer for bass fishing on two very different bass waters, the Salem Canal in south Jersey and north Jersey’s Lake Hopatcong. The show’s host, Blaine Mengel, fished with NJDEP Division of Fish and Wildlife fisheries biologist, and B.A.S.S. tournament angler, Chris Smith. Chris knows where the bass are in New Jersey and knows how to catch them. The New Jersey Bassin’ show is a must see for serious bass anglers to hear and learn what our state bass fishing expert knows.

Backwoods Angler TV’s “New Jersey Bassin” show can be viewed on their Web site at http://www.backwoodsanglertv.com/Web_Broadcast.htm.

There’s no better way to spend time in the outdoors than enjoying the fabulous fishing New Jersey has to offer. Don’t miss out this year! Visit http://www.njfishandwildlife.com/fishing_fresh.htm  for freshwater fishing information and to buy and print your fishing license online.

So what are you waiting for?  🙂  Go check out that bass fishing show now!

Catch you later!

What To Wear When Freshwater Fishing?

Have you given much thought as to what you should wear when you go freshwater fishing?

OK – so I got an e-mail from Joseph at Ap3xpr3dator.com asking me to review his line of products for him. Joseph seems like a nice guy and has made a few comments at the blog so I agree to a review (plus I get to keep the “product” – good deal, huh?)

So what does Ap3xPr3dator have to offer – why fishing shirts and other fishing related clothing of course. Hence the topic for this post.

I don’t know about you, but when I go freshwater fishing I like to wear darker colored clothing so that when fishing from the shoreline, my clothing won’t scare any potential catches from taking my offering. Of course if you’re fishing in a very deep lake, the color won’t matter much, but instead you’ll want something to protect you from the sun.

I told Joseph that I preferred darker colors when fishing and he sent me 2 very nice shirts to try out. My favorite and my wife’s favorite also, was a black short sleeved shirt with a cool big mouth bass on the back. You can see the design here: Cool Bass Design

I also received a dark maroon shirt with a trout slayer design on the back – very unique! And since I like wearing shirts with unique designs, I even wore it to a band practice that night! Lots of nice comments on the shirt from the guys!

I waited until I washed the shirts before doing a review, because so many shirt’s designs crack and peel after going through the washer and dryer, but not these. These are nice high quality shirts – no problems with cracking, fading or peeling.

So I’m very impressed with the overall quality and wearability of the Ap3xPr3dator line of shirts. I also noticed as I browsing Joseph’s site that he has lighter weight long sleeve shirts available to help give maximum uv protection while we’re out having fun catching fish.

So if you’re looking for some nice quality shirts for fishing, go check out the shirts at Ap3xPr3dator.com – I’m sure you’ll find something that you’ll like as well.

PS – the prices are good too! $12 – $19 with free shipping if you buy 2 or more!

Catch you later!

New Fishing Hooks

All I can say is … Wow! I met Ron Baskett on Twitter and he told me he had some new hooks to try out.

So I gave him my e-mail and home address and Ron, being the generous guy he is, sent me some free hook samples as well as a free T-shirt and some free bait holder straps! What a nice guy! (Thank you Ron!)

What is so special about Ron’s new hook? Well it’s not really the hook so much as it’s how you “tie” your line to the hook. You actually don’t tie the hook onto your line – you kind of wrap the hook on. It’s fast and easy and the best part … you retain 98% of your line’s strength by “tying” it this way. Very nice!

The hooks are well made and have very sharp points, but the ease and simplicity of getting the hook on your line are almost unbelievable! He has a video on his site that shows you the hook and how easy it is to use. OK – So do yourself a favor and go check these out now!

Tell him Mark at the FreshwaterFishingBlog.com sent you!

Catch you later!
