I suppose that it would behoove me to tell a little about myself, by way of introduction. My name is Charles Edward McClung and I’m older than dirt, but everyone calls me Ned. I’ve lived most of my life in the southeast US, mainly because I’ve never seen a good reason not to. I just attended my 40th High School reunion in Buckingham Va., attended the University of Georgia for many years, and wound up getting my Masters of Science degree in Marine Science from the University of South Florida, St Pete. |

I moved from Florida to Carteret County, to be with Constance Anthony (who consented to be my wife) in 1989. This makes me, what they call in down East Carolina, a dingbat. I think one must be born here to avoid the appellation. At the time of my move to NC, I had, along with my partner Dr. Norman Blake, a small environmental consulting firm in St. Pete., |

which suited me just fine. Just, please don’t put me down as a tree hugger, a dingbat is enough. After my move, it didn’t take me long to realize that the coastal waters here were one of the premiere Big Game fishing spots of the world. I’ve always likened it to living in Kenya in the old days, if you liked Big Game hunting. Well, what man hasn’t thought about getting a boat and becoming a Charter Captain and living out Hemmingwayesque fantasies of a manly life? |
