My wife's aunt has a house on LBI and is really interested in the history of the bay. My wife wants to make a photo collage on the different things about the bay and the island for a Christmas present. Knowing the waterfowl hunting is a big part of the history of the bay, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to let a guy tag a long on a hunt to snap some pictures? __________________ It isn't the catch or the kill that makes for a great outdoor experience but enjoying all that God has created for us.

Go the Beach Haven historical sociaty to the Museum or over to the baymans museum in Tuckerton. You'll get alot of info and maybe take pictures of their pictures if they let you. Gunned North bay and South bay all my young life. You used to be able to gun the Dike and that was when you could drive out there. 50 to 75 % of the spots are gone now adays Mike due to either being washed out through storms or expansion of the rape of the island from the New Yorkers. When you used to come over the causway bridge cedar bonnett and all those sedges around that weren't occupied and baited by a certain family were open to gunning and many a fine moments were spent in sneak boxs or pound boxs on the salt ponds. There were big time clubs and guides and what ever you wanted who used to gun the territory. Then further to the south at Holgate the preserve oh man it was run and gun. Those were the days that were famous when the Black ducks were there. North bay greenheads and broadbills with the geese and brant and South bay with the Black ducks and brant. The pounds held teal early on and sholvers and gadwalls and on a freeze up woodies came out the the midbay from the mainland. The Fish factory the menhaden plant know as the stick house the norwegen capts. duck hunted as well and put sink boxs at the points of most of the islands. We had to pump them out to use them and grass them in. Blow out tides and hard northwests spent a few nights on the medow till the tide rose again. Had to be really carefull. I had 2 Sammy Hunt boats with cork and cedar stools and golden retreivers and my buddys had Chesepeak and labs. What days and the memorys. We had the best times on the bay and spending nights at some of the duck shacks with the old old baymen. Thats what life was about back when I was a kid and young man. This world is ruinned now and what its like today you barely see remainants. Go to the musseums and you will get a little glimmer of the past. The last time I was to the baymans musseum I had tears in my eyes when I looked around and remembered what it once was with the men I was blessed to had traveled with and know who have mostly all passed on. A lot of pictures you'll see from North Bay are of Sandy Island that was very famoues for the massive flights of broadbills that traded by the deepwater point. When the conditions were right it was a massicure. Your gettin into a big task to get that type of a thing together by Christmas but good luck the musseums will give you a good start.

| I think if you head down the road off of Hilliard Drive at the Manahawkin WMA it ends up at the bridge to nowwhere where I believe a lot of duck hunters go.Either way that roads leads to the back of Barnegat Bay and you can get some nice pictures from there of wildlife. If you drive to the end maybe someone would let you tag along. | ||

| Cat I wish I grew up on the the bay back then I was born 30 years to late. But I still cherish growing up in the pines and having the bay and ocean so close I grew up in Stafford Twp. And watched it turn from pine barrens to suburbs. What the hell happened to the pine barrens preserve they did'ent preserve shit! But I make the best of it I still love the few spots I have left | ||
