Thanks Jed, The National Seashore was my favorite place place in the world to fish until a couple of years ago, between closures and seals. This is the first year since 1988 I haven't gotten an annual permit. I hope to be able to fish the fall run, I'll know more after the MRI and followup w orthopedic spec. Let me know how the trip goes if you have time, I have to enjoy fishing vicariously for awhile... Thanks Again, Jim
