BH--

Ya gonna put the slay on some bluefish while yer in NJ? :) I would be sorely tempted, for certain. Have a good trip.

I would if I could. Been busy up here lately but my cousins been telling me about it. Next summer I will be here longer in the Jersey and New York area and will get involved then and try it out. Have to get ready for leaving back to Georgia home in a few days and will be busy there to doing things around the house property related and visiting folks. Will wet a line in a few weeks back in Cali. Thanks for the well wishes.
