This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

thanks guys...there's something about that first hook set of the year.

We went 1 for 5 but just getting out again was the best....

This one pounded a bulldog and tore it to shreds...I'll be able to fix it though.

It hit just befpore the rain started at about 2 pm;
