Thanks for the welcome Eddie. I do look forward to heading to the coast and do some fishing. Alfred

Thanks flip, only time will tell. Alfred

Thanks guys, I look forward to fishing each and every hole I can find and will make it my mission to do so. ;D ;D ;D Later, Alfred

Well, I was laid off from my job this week in nothern VA but the good Lord helped me out with another one in Wilson, NC. We will be in Wilson for about 6 months and then on to the Raleigh area. I look forward to hooking up with some of the guys down there for some fishing this summer. Tight Lines, Alfred Huff

"Here fishy, fishy, fishy!" "Here fishy, fishy, fishy!" "Come on boy, bite the hook, there ya go!" "Good boy." : ;D Sorry I had to. How you all doing? Alfred

I on... and the same. Alfred

cajun1977, congrats.......i'm with ya there i signed up last month to start in Jan. i have 2 years before my GI Bill runs out so i need to use it. again, congrats and have fun, Alfred

I started growing a full beard (minus the neck) about a month ago, it has grown in very nice so far. I'll keep it as long as the little woman doesn't shave it off while I sleep. She hates it!!!!!! Alfred

i'm not sure of the range but they have the wireless foot control T/Ms now. i could see putting the T/M on the back and having the foot control (wireless) in the front with you. then,no matter where in the boat you are, you will always have the foot control with you. just a thought, Alfred

My dad got all of his kids, including me, hooked on fishing from the time we could hold a fishing pole. most of us still love to fish to this day, there were 6 of us. growing up you worked and fished, not always in that order. i enjoyed reading all the stories you all have posted, now we all have to insure that we pass the same love for fishing and the great outdoors on to our kids and grandkids. thanks for the topic LBH, Alfred

i would have to agree with you all, i have caught some large fish in small ponds/lakes. fish size has alot to do with how healthy the lake/pond is and how much food is present for the game fish. i have caught 5 - 8lb bass out of small ponds, less than an acre in size. its about how well the pond or lake is managed. Alfred

as long as you have a bait fish in the pond, ie. bluegill, you will be fine. Alfred

to the winners, Congrats!!! to Kevin and Mrs. Lovins, thanks. Alfred

fishinaz, way to stick with it on the jig. i find myself using one everytime i go fishing. keep it up, Alfred

thanks for the tip fishinaz, ive used Google maps but never thought about printing out the map and using it that way. Thanks again, Alfred

if you got this months (June) Bassmaster take a look at the article that James Hall wrote on page 6. the article is titled, Remembering Sinaloa. its a good one, Alfred

Dude, that is great. Keep up the great work and remember the little people when you hit the big times. Tight lines, Alfred

my family comes from KY so they all fished, but i would guess more for food than pleasure. my dad always took us fishing, either saltwater or fresh..... we all could crab and fish by the time we could walk or shortly there after.... at 5 years old i was helping him on a shrimp boat, culling out what needed to be kept and throwing back what was too small.... even now when we get together fishing is involved some how, father's day weekend was a weekend of fishing. i have three kids and they all were fishing as soon as they could hold a ploe and all have fishing ploes.... some of the best memories i have are of fishing with my family, Jerkbate, thanks for such a great post....... Alfred

i tend to think of myself as a laid back fisherman and don't let too many things get to me. with the said it does get old fast when someone talks non-stop the whole time you are on the lake. sometimes you just need to be quiet and listen to nature. Alfred

i've had the pleasure of fishing with drums and flippin4it and look forward to many more trips. they both are great fisherman and i've learened a few new things from them. they got me hooked on senkos, can you believe that? i look forward to meeting even more fishing buddies from this board, the best place on the net. thanks Glenn, Alfred

LBH, i think we can get a few of the Notheren Va BR guys or gals to join you on this guest for MOJO. Let us know the schedule and such. Alfred

bassnut, from the map that is one nice looking lake to fish. the contour lines with the numbers tell you the depth changes, on this map they used 20' intervals for most of the map, a good map uses 5' intervals. the Legend they used here is telling you what cover or structure the lake has and where it is found, very nice feature and the old road bed. not sure if this is what you were looking for. hope it helps, Alfred

you must be one with the bass, daniel son. the key, as RW has stated, is to fish cover, bass like cover cause their food likes cover. Alfred

Tucson, i've had days like that, it is very frustrating. maybe a fluke or a worm worked slowly would have gotten them to open up. Alfred

fulltilt, welcome to the board, you will find you get alot of info, the hard part is finding the time to use that info.... ;D i too would use just about anything weightless...i've recently starting useing Horny Toads and love them. let us know how you do, Alfred
