Friends,
Over the weekend my wife and I moved out of our rowhouse in Baltimore as we finalize our purchase of a home in Connecticut (the move was planned prior to the virus, and is unrelated). It's been 14 years since I lived anywhere other than Maryland, from college at St. Mary's with yakscientist all the way up through adulthood and into my 30's. As I shift life back to my New England stomping grounds I wanted to write a quick note of thanks to all of you on SnaggedLine. I've been a SnaggedLine member for only a few years, but in that time I've learned a lifetime's worth of lessons from you guys. I've made new friends, fished new waters, talked fishing, talked yaks, and shared stories with so many of you, all because of SnaggedLine. There are few places left in the world where a group's love of something outweighs all of the other individual differences that members of that group may possess...this is one of those places, due to our shared passion for kayak fishing. I am so grateful for everything this board has given me, and I hope that it continues to be an active place for stories, questions, and knowledge. Whether we've met in person or not, I consider you all my friends, and I'll miss you all terribly. I'll also miss our cherished Bay and the rivers, lakes, and streams that've given me so many good memories.
The good news is that if you ever wanted an excuse to come fish the lower CT River or Long Island Sound, you now have it! I'll be working summers for Black Hall Outfitters, an Old Town dealer and general kayak fishing + tackle shop with locations in Old Lyme and Westbrook, which I'm hoping will help me learn the new waters! Stripers, blues, flounder, tog, northern pike, largemouth, pickerel, smallmouth, yellow perch, and white perch are all available, so if you stop into the shop come and say hi!
I'll definitely be back here every now and then to catch up on stories, but in the meantime feel free to follow me on Instagram at @sunrisekayakfishing and you can watch me get skunked repeatedly as I try to learn a whole new fishery haha!
Thanks again everyone. You all rock.
Matt
