This GBH was sort of a hapless chap. He tried, really he tried, but he didn’t seem to be much of a fisherman. In the two hours I watched him, he only seemed to manage two very small fish to his credit. Hopefully, more productive days are ahead for him.
I spent the day at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge outside of Absecon, New Jersey which is just north of Atlantic City. This particular refuge features both fresh water and brackish (salt water) marshes and several nice forested trails. I spent the better part of the day on the eight mile long Wildlife Drive which makes its way around and through much of the brackish marsh areas in the southern most reaches of the refuge. The refuge actually extends quite a distance north of where I was.
