I know you folks don't know me but I'm still surprised at the lack of invitations to fish. It's ok though, it's your right to say no, but I find it hard to believe things have changed to this degree since I left home in 1985. I really wasn't expecting a ton of invites but I thought someone out there might invite me to tag along. Some of my best friends have been those that I had first invited to go fishing as a stranger. As a matter of fact when I leave NC I'm heading to VA to visit & fish with a guy that I met here in Arkansas. He was new to Arkansas & requested someone to go fishing with on a bass fishing site. I didn't know him but that didn't stop me from inviting him to go fishing. The end result was a life long friend.

I know times have changed. Caution around strangers is needed. It might also be a fear that I might steal your fishing spots. It could be something else. Whatever the reason may be it's ok. I hope you all catch plenty of fish & no hard feelings.
