TRAVELERS' WEBSITES

A couple of websites for sportsmen heading to the Catskills to hunt or fish are www.greatnortherncatskills.com/outdoors/fishing and www.greatnortherncatskills.com/outdoors/hunting. If you're on the way to Florida and in the Miami/South Beach area a really fun thing to do is tour Biscayne Bay with an outfit that knows what it's doing...as well as owned and operated by an old friend, Kim Falconer. Check out the details and pix on her website, oceanfrontadventures.com.

OYSTERS ANYONE?

We mentioned the passing of our longtime colleague Nick Karas in the print column and I was remebering the fun trips we had with the NY Metropolitan Outdoor Press guys out of Atlantic Highlands. It seems we had more seafood back at the shore restaurant after fishing then we hauled aboard. One of Nick's specialties was oysters and his favorite, as recalled by old friend Vin Sparano of Waretown is Nick's Oysters Moscow - that would be raw oysters on the half shell with a dollop of sour cream and a lump of caviar. If he wanted to be fancy he used both red and black caviar. Bon appetit.
