Straight up!! Nice post Eddie, I probably wouldn't have heard about this otherwise.

Soo, having not been able to meet the infamous Andy Still yet, he's already made quite an honorable impression on me. Any person who can have such a positive impact on life; be it human, animal, fish, etc., and it's environs, as Andy has, definitely deserves the recognition earned!! If you're an avid reader of these threads you'll already know the piles, on piles, on piles of trash...and the stacks, on stacks, on stacks of tires...and all other miscellaneous debris that he's saved our wetlands, creeks, brooks, streams, rivers, bays, and ultimately the ocean from having to pay the price for. Speaking of price...I don't think he gets paid for this folks.
Not that I would dirty my own fishing spots prior to joining NJFishing, nor do I like sitting around/wading in garbage and pollution...but I definitely wasn't going to be cleaning up after other slobs I don't know! Andy specifically, (and crews he would roll with from time to time again), changed my outlook and motivated me to at least straighten my local spots up. I could only hope he's done the same for more of you anglers.

That being said, LETS GET THESE REPLIES GOING ANGLERS!!!

Again I tip my Steelers hat to you Andy and know that you have my vote. As far as your contact information for them, can you post it or just Pm me and anyone else who would like to place a ballot?

Not a problem. I think the 3 years on the North Branch for me was the best. Looks sweet now, hope to hit the Lamington as well this year.
