Joe, I'd like to echo Bryan on missing you in OTW. Thom's agood friend of mine but I like your writing style better....not that Thom's is bad...just a different style.

Great product,and good timing too.

Thanks - I'm glad you liked my writing.

My not doing the OTW Insiders was almost mutual. They decide who is going to write the columns. But I agreed that it was not a good fit for me.

The readership is looking for first-hand advice on not only surfcasting but on boating and freshwater as well. I only go freshwater fishing with my six-year old and given the choice, I'd rather watch TV than go boating - I really struggled with those components. Sure, he's not as witty as me, but I think Thomcat is better qualified to cover the breadth of topics a Rhode Island Insider should.

I like the people at OTW and the NEF - but writers and magazines are not exactly in vogue lately. But I like writing, and I plan on doing more. These days however, I'm more inclined to just write content for my website.

Eben welcome aboard and best of luck to you. I agree with John D. your timing is perfect for the eel scare/ rubber craze that is developing.
