2025 Campout #4 - Montauk State Park
It's time for the long-awaited trip of the season! What will be the longest trip for the 2025 camping season and my personal favorite trip of not just this year but any year... It's time for the annual Montauk State Park  trout fishing trip! This year would see the 3 of us in a tent on the first night and a cabin the last two nights in an effort to improve sleep for all. It would also be the first time returning to Montauk since flooding ravaged the park in November 2024, jus

2024 Campout #3 - Montauk State Park
When the leaves on the trees are starting to change, that can only mean one thing... it's time for the annual Montauk State Park  trout fishing trip!

2022 Campout #5 - Echo Bluff State Park
It's December again. The tents and sleeping bags are all packed away. Camping season is done, right? Wrong! Like last year, we would set our sights on an indoor camping trip to the Betty Lea Lodge at Echo Bluff State Park !

2022 Campout #4 - Montauk State Park
The air outside has a chill to it, the leaves are starting to change, and beginning to fall... That can mean quite a few things but to me it means it's time for the annual Montauk State Park trout fishing trip! Looking to continue on the success of previous years, this year I will be hoping to hit the lofty goal of 10 trout in 5 days!

2021 Campout #6 - Echo Bluff State Park
It's November. The tents and sleeping bags are all packed away. Camping season is done, right? Wrong! With a holiday on the calendar and a free day off work following that, it was the perfect opportunity to squeeze in one more trip! November weather, like any weather, can be pretty tricky to predict, especially months in advance. But none of that would matter because we would set our sights on an indoor camping trip to the Betty Lea Lodge at Echo Bluff State Park ! This would

2021 Campout #5 - Montauk State Park
Not nearly a week into October and the time has once again come for the annual Montauk State Park trout fishing trip! Last year ended a multi-year trout drought so this year I would be looking to continue the streak and bring home more fish for the freezer!
