White Bass 08

I have Dick's sporting goods, Gander Mtn., and two local tackle stores within ten minutes of my house. I tend to go with who has the best prices and customer service. I go to the local tackle store because they sponsor our local club. 15% discount on tackle. That is hard to compete with. I think it is better to support the local shops versus the big chains.

I live in Moline Il. Home of the John Deere tractor.

Hello everyone, I have been browsing this website off and on now for about a year. It is a great site for fishing info. I have been bass fishing for ten years. I started off fishing in small lakes and farm ponds in north Florida. I have fished tournaments as a non boater in all the big named lakes throughout Florida. I also fished team tournaments throughout Florida also. I now fish on the Mississippi River most of the time. Talk about a totally different fishery. I like to pitch tubes, beavers, and jigs on the Mississippi River. While I lived in Florida I caught a lot of fish on rattle trap style lures and the trusty plastic worm. I look forward to talking about fishing with everyone.
