Long Beach Island October 2012: Hi Folks! This weekend was mostly a bust for fishing as Tracy and I stayed on LBI for the annual south Jersey fall festivals. I did however wake up early Saturday and got a line wet for an hour or two. Turned out there was nothing doing but a gorgeous sunrise and some pesky callico crabs. Tried clams, plugs and metals all to no avail.
By 9am we packed up and left for the Cranberry Festival in Chatsworth, NJ. As usual it was a mob scene but they had a lot more vendors and even then more food then the last time we attended. With live music, good food, wine tasting and of course, plenty things cranberry it turned out to be a fun day for my gal and I. Worthy of note was DiMatteo's cranberry and apple wines especially the mulled apple wine. All I can say was YUMMMY! For anyone interested in cranberry or apple wines Im sure if you visit there website by clicking this link: DiMatteo Vineyards website, they could provide you all the information necessary to obtain some!
On Sunday it was off to pick up my little brother Alex and the three of us headed on to Batsto Village for their annual Country Living Fair. That is a really cool fair in that they have a little something for everyone. If you dont like crafts then you can check out the antique farm machines including early gasoline powered pumps and corn huskers or steam powered tractors and the like. If thats not your forte then their is antique cars, trucks and a whole slew of other interesting items to try and figure out.
Anyway it was a great weekend to be away with perfect weather and a great place to stay. (We were less then a 100 yards from the beach) I hope to back into full fishing swing come Friday or Sunday whichever is best to fish.
Till then, Always fun .... Always an adventure.
Tommy
