Hello Everyone!

[TidewaterAngler]

Hi everyone. I live in Norfolk, VA and go to school at Old Dominion University with the intent of earning a degree in Information Technology. I grew up in Hertford, NC and ever since I can remember I have been addicted to fishing. I remember mom carrying me down to the canal at the end of my road with cane poles and worms trying to catch anything that would bite. What an experience, especially the time I caught a HUGE catfish that mom refused to let me touch because she was afraid I would get stung. Summer after summer the family would trek down to the Outer Banks to vacation and fish from the shore. And recently I was exposed to the awesome striper fishing off the coast of Virginia, I was hooked from the moment we left Rudee Inlet. Needless to say I've been hooked on fishing most of my life.

Once again HELLO!

Joey
