Hey guys,

New to the board and new to North Carolina. I was one of the original members of the AmericanRiverFishing.com network (GeorgiaRiverFishing.com actually) where I spent 12 years fishing in rivers and streams in North Georgia, really going after shoal bass. Then I spent four years in the Florida panhandle (FloridaRiverFishing.net) and am now here in the RDU area.

I really enjoy wade fishing in rocks especially for smallmouth but I'm not a smallie snob. A good piedmont float for some largies is just fine by me.

My fleet consists of an Old Towne 158 and 119. (Sorry, they aren't kayaks so I hope I'm allowed here).

With a wife I enjoy spending time with and two babies under two, a full time job, and part-time seminary student, it is much harder to get on the water but I still manage to go a few times a month. Please let me know if you are interested.

I look forward to meeting you guys.

Tight Lines,
The General

As long as you paddle or pedal your are welcome. welcome to the site you will have alot of people in your area to fish with. Im in western NC but i like river fishing myself so if you are ever over this way i can take you down the upper yadkin, just finished reading an article on red eye bass fishing on the lower chattooga river in SC/GA in eastern fly fishing. The pictures made me want to take a trip. good luck to you maybe enjoy NC there is no other place like it.

The General is always welcome in any site that I am in!!!

Used to see him in the GeorgiaRiverFishing website and his posts and reports were helpful and contained very good content.

Welcome and hopefully we can fish together up here in NC....where are you located in NC??

Thanks guys for the warm welcome. Yes, JYJ, I was at the Pallooza last year and I thought we met. That has been a great time for me over the years but I'm looking forward to new memories here in NC.
