Got to admire anyone who lives in that

Keep warm

LOL Cold Phat... real cold. I'll remember that when you are suffering in 100+ temp with 90% humidity.

South shore of western Long Island. Almost 2 feet. I’m in my house almost 23 years. Every winter I say I’m buying a snow blower. I have 3 to 5 years left in the house. I don’t know if it makes sense at this point. I sure am getting tired of this snow sh!t!!!

Fair deal,D. Everywhere has its trade offs. I went and had the oil changed in my wife s car today, the mechanics lift is outside in his parking lot, hurricane blew the building away. Been like that over 2 years. We were saying he would love to have an hour or two of this 50 degree weather in August.

Ya ll stay safe and warm

Update, got over 30 inches , never loved a snowblower the way that I do now. Had to break down the snow than blow than break down the snow and blow I could repeat that but you know where I'm going . Hey destroyer, montville is not to far from me, where do you launch your boat?

My daughter lives in Mt. Arlington, so I know right where you are. I launch in 3 different places. Mostly in Laurel Park in Secaucus. Then I run down the Hackensack river to the New York bight, then from there to the Hudson river and from there to Sandy hook. It's a 21 mile run, but the launch ramp is really nice with good parking and it's free. So I use a little more gas but I pay no launch fees, and no tolls on the GSP. Plus while everyone else is sitting in traffic on the GSP on a Sunday I'm cruising upriver @ 40mph most of the way. I save time, temper and less distance to travel.

....and who wouldn't rather drive a boat than a vehicle?!

I know laurel hill in secaucus, they built a new school there , how far to get to raritan bay from the There? We used to catch strippers in the winter by the power plant when it was turned on

You have a place you buy bait, if you need it? Since 2017 I really haven’t had much free time to use my boat, but I’m planning on using it this summer. I’ve been toying with launching from secaucus and running down.

There are several places in Carlstadt, Monachie and Newark that have small streams that killies live in. The second river in Newark, just before it joins into the Passaic river is a favorite spot for me. Take Rt21 to the mill Street exit, make your first left turn and there's a little bridge about 200 feet ahead. I just put out killie traps and get several quarts full. Keep them in a 5 gal bucket overnight with an air pump and they'll be fine for the morning trip. I get frozen Squid from ShopRite or pretty much any food supermarket. That's ham and eggs for Fluke. For Blues and the rest I use lures. I have down-riggers and troll Umbrella rigs a lot for Blues and Stripers
