I live about 50 miles north of G'port.There are a few fishing spots that you might want to investigate.Flynt Creek is about 20 miles north of G'port in a town called Wiggans.Just take Hwy 49 north.It's about 1000 acres.Paul B. Johnson State Park is 48 miles north on 49.It's a 300 acre lake that grows some nice Florida bass.This time of year shad type crankbaits rule.Find the channel that runs the length of the lake.Suspending jerkbaits produce also.It's a clear lake,and swimbaits might be the ticket.Don't forget to try the Pascagoula River.You'll have to run up it a ways to escape the brackish water.There've been several FLW tournaments on it.Good luck!

Although I don't fish tournaments,I think fishing tournaments would have to sharpen fishing skills,not to mention all the things you'd learn from other bassers.

I like Bill Dance.I've heard that he fishes water that is like shooting fish in a barrel,but it's a great escape from the day to day grind.I also like Roland, Scott Martin,and Jimmy.

How sad! That man has my prayers to cope with this tragedy.

Good luck,Ryan!

I think he will.He's well on his way.He should anyway.He's the world's best.

Congrats to KVD! He really is the best.

I don't really know anything about him except(from his avatar) he knows how to catch trophy smallies !

I'm a catch and release kinda guy,but I'll admit if I caught what was surely the next WR I'd have to go with A. and B.

Know what you mean.There's a guy lives in my county who has my exact name.Evidently,he is a scumbag.I've been served papers meant for him 3 times.I don't know how they keep getting it wrong.I'm Scotts-Irish.He's African American.I'm 6'2,242 lbs. with blond hair and green eyes.He's 5'8,165 lbs. with black hair and brown eyes.Our SS numbers are different.I've had to hire a lawyer each time to get the various law institutions to leave me alone.These guys just see a name and assume,I guess.I just hope this idiot doesn't murder somebody one day!

Amen to reading the Louis L'amour books.I read them all at one time or another.They're addictive.

Raise the action on the strings.It really does sound like fret buzz.

I like ALL kinds of rock,but the early ZZ Topp(Rio Grande Mud,Tres Hombres,Fandango,Tejas) really does it for me.Saw 'em 3 times back when they were young.They rock in concert.

We were eating fried pickles when I was a kid(I'm now 50).Man,they are GOOD!!!Fried okra is great too.I like the boiled only in gumbo.

Dean Koontz has a big series of thrillers that I'm sure you'd enjoy.Also the complete Anne Rice series is a fine read.Like you,I've read all of Ludlum's political thrillers myself.They are hard to put down!
