Hey all -
I've been on here for several years now - like many will tell you, this forum is fantastic to learn from, meet great folks, and live vicariously through others. I never introduced myself officially, so I'm going to have to use this thread for the opposite purpose.
A few weeks ago, I had someone approach me about buying my house. It wasn't on the market, but we'd been thinking about moving closer to the salt which is more my kind of fishing. Offer was good enough that we decided to take it. In 30 days or so, we'll be moving to Eastern NC. Brian, don't think that your Harker's island videos didn't have SOMETHING to do with that decision! SOoo - to all of you guys that regularly post on here, share your reports, have responded to my inane posts, a big thanks. I'll probably keep lurking out here, might even post a few Striper reports if I'm lucky enough to track 'em down in the Pamlico, Nueuse or surrounding rivers.
Big J - keep carrying the torch on the Fly fishing thread - it's starting to gain traction. Next time I make it up, I fully expect to see all of these baitfish abuser to have amended their ways, sold their nets, converted their super bait tanks into port-a-potties, and exchanged their bib overalls with sack cloth in repentance. Or at least to have THOUGHT about trying to fling a fly.

Greenmonster - hate to see you move down-east, but when opportunity knocks.... where are you headed in Eastern NC? I grew up down that way in Goldsboro, NC (though not really quite close enough to the coast....) - and my folks are still there.

Sad to see you go. If everyone on here caught stripers like you, we would have multiple world record stripers roaming our lake!

Thanks Yam! sad part is that I'll miss the Spring striper fishing here. I hear it's pretty spectacular down there though!

Green, I'm sure we can find you a seat if you're ever back up this way!

I'll take you up on that, but only if I can bring the fly rod!

I'm jealous. I daydream about moving closer to saltwater.. the kind of job I need is hard to find down there though. And if I lived down there I would need a very good job to pay my boat fuel bill
