thanks to all...i lived in jackson miss, for 4 years back in the 80's. taught school and travelled all over the state. loved jackson btw.

likewise will, i started with spinners and fished them to the exclusion of more appropriate lures for a long time. i actually had rat-l-traps that my uncle gave me a long time ago (28 years or so?) that I never fished until just recently...now I fish ratls alot. Buddies turned me on to them, and I feel silly that I didn't use them for so many years when they can be such a dependable lure. (my goal this year is to learn how to fish worms...I've never really known what I was doing, but my buddies are going to show me the light this summer).

thanks folks... Pretty incredible the benefits provided by the internet, to be able to troubleshoot fishing situations, lures, weather, environment, etc with fellow fishermen this easily. My father got me interested in bass fishing and he would have been the number 1 poster on a board like this. He would have loved it.

love to bass fish, and awfully glad to have found this board. I live in Memphis and am lucky enough to have recently gained entrance to a club on some oxbow lakes about 45 minutes outside of Memphis. Looking forward to learning alot from this site and these boards.
