Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge


We made it to Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and we will be here until near the end of October. We will be assisting with a nature program on insects fors econd graders. The schedule has us doing two programs a day, four days a week. That should keep us busy. There is something to be said about being parked in the middle of the refuge. We see deer daily, Canada Geese are abundant and the first of the migratory ducks are arriving.

We did have a great weekend with the grandkids. Mom and Dad took the day off and left Marisa and Sammy with Pop Pop and Nanna. Did we have fun. In addition to coloring and baking cookies, we went to the Broadkill Beach on the Delaware Bay (about three miles away) Those youngsters sure enjoyed the water.

Fishing has been satisfactory. Last night we caught enough bluefish for a couple meals. I've landed a few flounder in the last week but non of them made the Delaware state minimum of 17 1/2". Last night the small stripers were feeding and I managed to catch four between 18 -22" but again I had to release them because they did not meet the state 24" minimum. Give me enough time and a dumb big one will swim into my hook.
