    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    An older gentleman was driving down the highway on his way to Home Depot when his cell phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "George, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on I-90. Please be careful!" "Hell," said George, "It's not just...

    MV Stripah Hunt

    Nice going! Here in NJ, those hickory shad are called "Jersey tarpon" (though there've been reports of real tarpon being caught occasionally, including one up on Cape Cod recently). Lots of fun to catch, although I haven't found them yet this season.

    The news today about Pee Wee Herman's death made me think of this. Catchy song, funny video:

    OPEN SEAT (Jorma Kaukonen at Triple Door)

    Heard about the so-called "Typewriter Tape" a couple of years ago. It got released last year. Here's one of the cuts (recorded in 1964):

    What Are You Eating?

    A little snack, direct from the wilds of NJ. Mix of blueberries, black raspberries, blackberries and red raspberries, all ripe for the picking right now:

    What are you listening to?

    I thought the polar opposite of Cattle Decapitation (musically and thematically at least) might be this, by another group with sort of a bovine name. Just to lighten things up for those like me who found the preceding just a little too heavy :):

    WTF? (Deschutes March Brown hatch)

    In my experience, porpoising risers are usually (but not always) taking spent spinners. That may be why they're ignoring the duns (the duns are a tougher target because they will be lifting off soon). It also fits with your observation that the porpoising fish were seen a couple of days after...

    NFR What I’m Drinking. What I’m Thinking.

    First cup of my morning coffee. Thinking OMJ would have secretly loved to see what everyone has written about him in the other thread, but in typical OMJ fashion would have posted a comment scolding @Jojo for not tagging that thread "NFR"...... :)

    NFR Has anyone heard from Old Man Jim? Update: RIP OMJ. Give ‘em hell wherever you are!

    I only had a couple of interactions with OMJ, but he reminded me of one of my uncles – gruff at times but funny, and a generous person at heart. He shared his humor and his knowledge with us (from a general standpoint in public, and it seems that in private he was quite open with sharing...

    What are you listening to?

    RIP, Gary Rossington.... I've heard this song a hundred times, and it just struck me today how this song sounds less like Southern rock and more like grunge (10-15 years before that was a genre), especially the tempo. I could easily imagine a Pearl Jam version.....

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    And now, back to our regular programming..... Two friends are walking their dogs together. One has a big black lab, while the other has a minuscule chihuahua. They pass a bar and the lab owner says, "Let's get a beer." The chihuahua walker complains, "That would be great, but we can't take our...

    What are you listening to?

    Ok, guess I'll reveal my child (literally) of the 60s background. I was just a kid during the 60s, so the music I heard was mostly what was either on the car radio or what I saw on TV. I didn't have a teenage older sibling who would have been buying all the great albums that came out back...

    NFR Humor (No political jokes)

    I live about 45 minutes from there. Went with a buddy as an adult (I didn't grow up in NJ, so missed out on its early days) and had a blast. Thinking back on what was allowed back then, is mind-boggling. I don't remember some of the attractions featured in the trailer (they were probably shut...

    Fishing in Kentucky, end of February

    If you end up going to Philly, and you're driving, you may want to plan to hit up some of the renowned limestoners in south-central PA (e.g., the Letort), which will be basically en route. I've never fished there, but it's worth looking into, and should be fishable irrespective of the air temps.

    Fly Rods On Commercial Flights?

    I've flown United many times (last in 2021) with either 3 or 4 piece rods in aluminum or cordura tubes and never had an issue carrying them on (in addition to a carry-on bag). I'm originating in Newark and other points of departure (for the return trip) have been Seattle, Portland and a number...

    NFR Rock and Roll

    Sorry to hear this news, he was one of the greats. Here's a more recent example, showing he still had that magic tone (and Johnny Depp surprised me with how well he sings here):
