Some of ys'a may not know him by name....
but if you have fished the surf in NJ from the Amboys down to Island Beach, and fish regularly, then you most certainly have run into Jim Balicki.......:fishing:
A retired, veteran angler who goes all over in search of bass, blues, and fluke,,,and has the energy to pound the sand and look for fish...while guys half his age sit in their trucks with binoculars.......
I met Jim a few seasons ago for the first time, but had known of him through his reports for years....
Well, on May 15 Jim took a serious fall, and will be out of the game for awhile...
Here is his latest report from anglerworld.com.......]
"This report is probably my last in quite a while. I took a bad fall at home, and was transported to an ER in an ambulance. My knee is severely injured and will probably require surgery. I should know more after my 4PM visit with an orthopeadic surgeon today."
