Because of my wedding work schedule (Saturdays), I do most of my fishing on weekdays, but all of my buddies have to work then, so I end up out there by myself way too often. . . Would love to hook up with some of you guys who fish out of the brunswick beaches who may be in need of a weekday fishing partner.

Welcome! My dad plays a little banjo also. We try and play some bluegrass on occasion but I'm not all that great with the "six string woman repellar".
Think I am the reason behind all the banjo jokes I've heard. Perfect Pitch? Tossing the banjo directly into the center of the dumpster! How to get two pickers in tune with each other? Shoot one of them. And on, and on. Anyway, it's fun and it keeps the stray cats out of the yard. Thanks for the welcome.
