with all that has went on with me this year..fishing has not been on my mind...still palying golf about once a week..I keep up with the outer backs via the Internet...DOW and Audoban have made it tough on the surf casters on the OBX...lots of beaches lost altogether or seasonally closed due to birds(piping plover)...so driving on the beach is restricted at times...and you can't walk to the beach and fish over there very easily.....I am thinking of breaking the kayak out for some fall smallmouth fishing on the local river..other than that I don't know..
