Thanks John, Yeah i figured id try to get some experience on them since they are along the way to my new duty station. Id like to be able to fish around the middle potomac to just south of DC, or any of the upper chesapeake. I have looked at elk neck state park, smallwood state park along with a few others and none seem to be pet friendly. If i cant locate lodging, then ill just hang out in South Carolina fishing Lake Murray till its time to move in up there in Jersey. Thanks for checking on some things.
