New Jersey Kayaking

Minnows & Carp

Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.

And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Golden Shiner

There are many different types of minnows in North America, but the one you are most likely to encounter kayaking is the Golden Shiner, and there is a good reason for this: If you are out after dark and you have a light, they will jump at it and can end up in the boat.

This is the largest minnow in the region, growing up to a foot long, although most are much smaller. Small ones do well in an unheated aquarium, provided you can get them to take fish food.

Goldfish & Koi (Carp)

Goldfish and Koi can be found almost anywhere, and are relatively easy to spot, even from a boat, thanks to their bright colors. These are typically released pets, and can get quite big if they can avoid herons and other predators long enough to get too big to eat.

There is a funny little bit of land in near Salem County that is attached to New Jersey, but belongs to Delaware. All rivers change their courses over time, and the land there built up since the borders were drawn in the 1700s, so technically it belongs to Delaware. A consequence of this is that New Jersey law enforcement has no jurisdiction there, and Delaware doesn't patrol it, so it is basically no-man's land. The sensible thing would be for Delaware to simply cede this useless appendage to New Jersey, but neither side seems interested in doing that. New Jersey has enough swamps already.
