New Moderators Here

[Gerry Zagorski]

Really sorry to see that Andy S is moving to North Carolina and wanted to thank him for making the Fresh Water Section what it is today. It's arguably one of the the most friendly and most visited freshwater information resources in the state, due in large part to Andy's efforts, his leadership and him coaxing me to create this section in the first place..

Thank you Andy and best of luck with the move... Leaving you on here as a Moderator since I know it's going to take some time to get you weened off of NJ and this site ;)

It also gives me great pleasure to announce that Mikey Topaz and FASTEDDIE have agreed to pick up where Andy left off... Tough shoes to fill for sure but both of you have been big time contributors here, great guys and I obviously respect and trust your judgement. Thanks for agreeing to do this, know how the magical power!!

[thmyorke1]

Congrats! We are in good hands :)

[Skunk City]

Two stand-up dudes that happen to be excellent fishermen. Nice choices to replace the legend that is Andy Still.

[dakota560]

Two excellent choices who have the upmost respect of the board and will continue the legacy Andy created on the fresh water site. Best of luck to both and well deserved.

[Hookmanski]

[Chrisper4694]

You are in great hands with those 2 !

There’s nobody in NJ that can replace Andy and all the hard work he put in over the years. He’s a legend in the fishing community like it or not. I will do my best to be a fair moderator as always. We all know Gerry doesn’t allow any B.S here. NJFishing.com is the best fishing site around without a doubt. From opening day of Trout season Meet-N-Greets, Ice fishing get togethers, Blackfish trips and S.S.F.F fund raising for research trips. We have the most fun out of all those sloppy FB pages and Mickey Mouse fishing groups. This is where you need to be when you want the best info from the best anglers in N.J. Nobody else comes close. Thanks for welcoming myself and my hillbilly brother Mikey Topaz as moderators of the sweetwater side of things. It’s going to be a good time!

Thank you AndyS for everything you have done to make N.J a cleaner and better fishery all around. You are the man! You have my respect always! Now go catch some fish for Christ’s sake.

Fearless leader, Gerry Z! Thank you for the opportunity man! Without you and this site I wouldn’t be fishing with the awesome people I am today. I’ve made a lot of friends and acquaintances here. We have some crazy awesome times on the water and will continue to make more memories year after year. Thank you again for everything you do! You da man! This is the biggest and best fishing brotherhood, period!

TIGHT LINEZ FELLAS! :D

[icebadger]

thanks to capt topaz of the black mamba and fast eddie for stepping up and helping out. these guys know how to git-er-done two great anglers on a great site god bless guys.:cool:

[Esox Luciano]

☝️ Well said brother. Congrats guys!! And if you guys wanna get crazy, I know where there's a nice stash of tires that Andy doesn't know about! 😂😂
Good luck guys and SALUTE!!!

[NickM221]

Great choices! Enjoy your new found power :D

[Dave B.]

Sorry to see you moving on Andy but I wish you nothing but the absolute best going forward!

As for the 2 new mods, IMHO you couldn't have made better choices Gerry! Both great guys and definitely VERY knowledgeable anglers! Congrats to you both!!

[kcritch]

Boy, talk about having the inmates running the asylum... :D


Exactly what I was thinking...This is going to be fun! Hahaha!

Congrats on the retirement Andy...and Nicely Done stepping up FE and MT! No one more passionate about our sport and NJ fishing that these guys. Best of luck with it...know you'll be great.

Hope to see you out there soon.

[Pondhopper8]

"Excellent choices...Congrats guys!"

Ditto, and best wishes Andy S. for a happy healthy retirement.
This surely is the best fishing site in NJ and thanks all for the info you've shared.
