4 Ways to Have Fun on Deal Lake This Fall
Deal Lake is a man-made lake that runs through several New Jersey towns. It is the largest freshwater lake in the coastal area, and it features several shallow ponds and channels that are fun to explore. Many private homes surround the lake, and there are several boat launches and some great fishing spots. Here are some of the ways to have fun on Deal Lake this fall.
Fishing
The shallow waters combined with the many lily pads and fallen trees attract many different species of fish. Since most of the lake is only 3-4 feet deep, the conditions are ideal for bass, carp, and even largemouth bass. Deal Lake is also very close to the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and it has several areas where it drains into the ocean. This allows for many saltwater fish and species to make their way to the lake, so you can find oysters, clams, and blueback herring, along with many others.
5 Reasons You Should Never Eat Behind the Wheel
We have all been there, rushing around throughout the day with no time to sit down and eat. Because we are often on the go, the only time we can find to eat is on the road. However, eating when you are driving is a form of distracted driving, and it can be dangerous. Here are some reasons why you should never eat behind the wheel.
It Slows Our Reaction Times
If your hands are off the wheel to hold onto a drink or a sandwich, then you won’t be able to react as fast if something happens. This is especially true if you are eating something that needs unwrapping or something that is difficult to hold onto. Some people even take both hands off the wheel to eat their food, which is even more dangerous.
In Jeep’s lineup, the Compass sits right above the compact Renegade and offers more space and some impressive off-road capabilities.

Here are some of the reasons the 2018 Jeep Compass is a great bargain buy.
The Options
