Randy, Colgger, everybody.
I am very disapointed to say that it is looking like I may not be able to make it this yr. (would have been my 4th). The rise in fuel costs have driven my towing estimates to about $700 round trip. To top that off the crew that I have had to help split costs with me cant make it this yr, any of them. I am giving myself to the end of the month to find someone, but it is not looking good and I an not sure I can justify the total cost to do it alone even if I can get the last $600 I think I will need for towing lodging fishing costs and food. On a positive note though, since I do have a fair amount already ear marked for fishing, if I dont go this year I can buy the minn kota RT80EM I have been looking at so I can striper fish here more efectively.
As much as I will miss NC this yr (a whole lot) I guess everthing has a silver lining.
