Welcome again Carrrie - glad to have you here - so where did the name duckdummy come from? I'm sure there is a good story behind that one.

Lipripper · July 16, 2006, 09:12:34 PM

Welcome again Carrrie and glad to have you here with us and just how did he get that name

My name is Trevally. My colleagues usually call me Ally. I am a fishing maniac. I have several places to stay before I am settled in small island in South China Sea. I have spent two years in Boston where my fishing hobby started. Then, I move to England for 3 years. While in England, I fished at the peer in Folkstone, Yarmouth, Land End, Ramsgate and John Groath in the north of :)Bristish Island. I found this site when I looking an advise about the best transducer for my new furuno FCV620 via Yahoo search engine. The I look around some posting. It seem to me this site is very interesting. Then, I decide to join as a member. I hope I can make a positive contribution in this forum. Sorry for my long introduction. Thank you for your kind attention.

Ally.

Hello everyone, my name is Rusty Jeardoe. I work at Barksdale AFB as a Instructor. I haven't worked there very long but it looks to be a great job. I have fished most of my life, but I didn't get real heavy into bass fishing until just a few years ago. I fished my first tourny in 1999 but had to move and didn't get to fish for a couple of years. I got to Louisiana and bought a boat and decided right then that I was going to finally do something that I always wanted to do and that is to become a better fisherman. I like fishing in tourny's, so I started my own little tourny out of Barksdale and several members from here have been returning. Mike and Mike have won the last two. It's a great time and great people. I've literally been around the world but I haven't found any place better than here in the midwest. If I see you on the lake, good luck and as aways "GIVE A HAWG A SORE LIP".

How's it going? My name is David Heath and I now live in O'Fallon, MO. My wife and I just moved here from the Chicago burbs a couple of months ago. We moved to Chicago from LA, but I originally grew up in Southeast MO (Sikeston), so I've gone full circle.

I've been fishing since I was a kid, but mostly fished for Catfish then, or whatever landed on my hook. Any bass I ever caught was pure luck. I turned to bass fishing pretty exclusively back in 1993. There were a few years since that I never did much fishing if any at all, especially the last few years. After moving back to the Show Me state, I promised myself I would get back out to fishing. I got my buddy interested in it and we have gone nearly every weekend.

So, anyway, long story short, I love to fish and am looking forward to learning a lot from you guys and sharing my fish stories.

Thanks,
Dave

Hello everyone, my name is Nathan Gravert. I am 18 and just graduated from high school. I bought my very first shortly after. 93 champion 18'w/ 175 Johnson fast strike. Not bad for an 18 year old huh! Anyway won my first taste of tournament cash in the last tournament winning the second biggest bass and 80 dollars. It was only the second tournament I have fished and I had a broken trolling motor.

Hello Hunter... Baton Rouge is only a few hours away from us up here in Shreveport. I think we all wish that the temps weren't so hot! Catchin' bass would be a whole lot easier in the cooler weather

Originally from Labadieville, Louisiana, but have been in the USAF since 1988, and am now stationed (for 2nd time) at NAS Pensaocla, FL, doing a flight instructor tour with the US Navy. I am an emigrant from the BassBoatCentral.com site. SCWildBill and triton1a told me about this awesome place. I signed up some time ago but never posted on here.

andy k · July 27, 2006, 05:25:25 PM

Hi everyone my name is Andy.

I live in Southwest, MI and Bass fishing is my favorite thing to do with my spare time.

I have recently fished in a couple small tourneys. AS a result of the tournaments i see i have alot to learn.

I found this site a few weeks ago and have been visiting quite a bit so i figured i would sign up.

Lipripper · July 28, 2006, 07:29:23 AM

Welcome again andy and you came to the right place to learn about Bass Fishing

kiksati · July 29, 2006, 02:15:36 AM

Hello everyone my name is Al.
I love in Southern California and blessed with the weather to fish year round and the opportunity to hook a quality fish at every outing. I call Castaic my home lake but fish from local mountain streams to the Pacific Ocean. I have my father to thank for the appreciation and respect I have for not only the act of catching, but for what the whole fishing experience has to offer. From the preparation before a trip, the first cast and the anticipation you feel with that first crank of the handle, working a lure and bringing it to life in hopes of feeling that tug on the end of your line, the bow of the rod after a hookset, the spray of water as she breaks the surface, the smile across you face as you lift her out of the water, the satisfaction you get as she slowly swims off, to the memories and conversations shared with friends and family while being outdoors. I am a Respiratory Care Supervisor at a small community hospital and fish as often as my wife and job will allow. I fish 2 -3 times per week and prefer night fishing to avoid the crowds, but mostly because I feel my Hawg catching chances are increased after dark. I take an annual trip to Alaska to fish and visit with family. (No Largemouth up there)
When not fishing, I can be found playing pool in a league, golfing, camping, mountain biking, or tinkering with my fishing gear or researching and expanding my knowledge base on the Ultimate Bass Fishing website.

lov2fish · July 29, 2006, 03:25:45 AM

Hello to everyone, My name is Marshall (ROCKY) Deakin I'm 51 yrs old and have been fishing for about 44 yrs now. Single dad with a lovely 12 yr old daughter. I am the head mechanic at Redz Marine in Racine WI. So if you have questions about your boats, Motors, or repairs or modifications to your boat send me an email and I will be glad to help you if I can.I moved back to WI from Las Vegas NV

because of the lack of water, And the fact that I grew up here. I have acquired three boats since I have been back and I am building a bass conversion from a 14' shallow V aluminum boat right now. I will post a picture when it is done. I hope to be able to help others and maybe learn a few tips and tricks for that lunker bass. So far my biggest was 24" caught on a frog colored Jitterbug about twelve yrs ago in lake Kessus near Merton WI.
