The minimum summer flounder size is up to 18 inches this year, from 17.5 inches in 2007. The daily maximum catch per angler stays the same at eight fish, and that combination should yield a season that runs from May 24 to Sept. 7, a week shorter than last year.

While saltwater fly fishing is all about getting good casts and the excitement of the fight, one of your most important purchases behind the rod, is the reel used in this exciting sport. Most reels used in this "extreme" fishing are single action reels and for good reason as their counterparts (Multiplier reels) aren't quite up to par. Multiplier reels are quite a bit more expensive and has many more moving parts.

Of the seven species of sea turtles worldwide, all but one call American waters home. But all six species found in U.S. waters are listed as either threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act. Human factors such as destructive fishing gear, decimation of turtle nesting sites and pollution all contribute to the aquatic reptile's rapidly dwindling numbers. > Read More

This stretch of the Delaware encompasses over thirty miles of prime smallmouth habitat and is part of the nearly seventy-five mile long Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River.
The sky was just overcast enough to give the feeling the fishing was going to be exceptional, but not enough clouds to cause any immediate concern for rain gear. > Read More

Tying your own flies can be very rewarding and relaxing. It also has another benefit in giving you something to do if you are unfortunate to live where the rivers are frozen in winter, or fly fishing is closed for some months each year. The tools are simple. You could make most of them yourself, however it would be best for beginners to buy at least a fly tying vice. There have been over the years quite a number of different vice types manufacturered. In my opinion, the cam type of vice is the easiest to use. > Read More

Turtle power boosted by second head

What the shell? They say two heads are better than one, but this rare turtle doesn't seem to know whether it's coming or going - slowly, either way.
The two-headed red slider turtle has turned up at a reptile centre in Pennsylvania, where owners are amazed by its freak appearance.
The unnamed curiosity has two heads on opposite sides of a single shell, as well as six legs and a combined tail.
A collector in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, passed the freak of nature to Big Al's Aquarium Supercenter in East Norriton.

I love this. I can't keep my son's goldfish alive, yet these guys managed to keep stripers alive in milk cans all the way to California. Go figure!
Yes you read it right, in 1879 and again in 1881, 135 & approx. 500 striped bass the second trip (1½ -3 inches long) were seined from the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers near Red Bank, New Jersey by Dr.Livingston Stone, at the urging of S.R. Throckmorton of the California State Board of Fish Commissioners, and transported by train in wooden barrels and milk cans across the continent to the San Francisco Bay.
