Thanks, Andy. We've never met but I certainly appreciate your devotion and passion to and for the environment and health of our rivers especially the underappreciated and overlooked Raritan.

As for freshwater fishing in the Tar Heel State........my brother was transplanted there quite a few years ago and enjoys the trout fishing in western N.C. on the Cherokee Indian Reservation. They raise their own trout and stock the many streams very liberally throughout the year. He lives near Charlotte/Concord and takes the three hour drive out there just for the trout fishing. A night's stay at the Harrah's Casino Hotel on the Reservation is just a bonus.

Just a heads up.........If you live near Durham, you will have to make up your mind if you'll follow Duke or U.N.C. during the basketball season. If you don't follow basketball, you'll have to go fishing.........or learn how to "do some N.C. shag dancing." (Google it)

Hey my friend. I know we will keep in touch...and my guess is you will be posting on here just as much from SC anyway HA!...but wanted to say thanks for good times and all the advice over these years. Lord knows you are a crazy grumpy old bastard but one would be hard pressed to find a better person to have as a friend. All the best for sure...and don't be surprised if there is an NJ Meet and Greet that pops up in your back yard one day! These guys are just as crazy as you!

As you know...if you need anything just ask... and as Mikey said I got a place for your canoe if you need it as well. NB/SB and Confluence right around the corner! HA!

Talk soon buddy...enjoy your new adventure.

P.S. I'm pretty sure they intentionally put tires in the rivers down there for cat fish habitat...this is going to be fun to watch!!!
