Jon in VA

Thanks for the welcome, guys! Unfortunately, there are no clubs near my county. But I hope to change that soon. I'm actually trying to start my own angling club for fishermen around the area. Hopefully I can get that up and going soon.

Hello all! Just found this board last night and registered this morning. Seems like a pretty darn good bass fishing message board. (Something I've been looking for for a long time now.) I live in southern Virginia, near the North Carolina border. (Near Martinsville, for any NASCAR fans that may be here) My name is Jonathan. I am 21 years young; I'm a small town kid, and I love fishing. I have always had a passion for it. Bass fishing especially. I also trout fish, but bass are definitely my favorite. I just bought my first boat this Fall (just a 15' v-hull boat), and I plan on spending this spring/summer on my local lake (Philpott Lake) honing in my bass fishing skills. My lifelong dream has been to become a professional bass angler. What better life could one dream of than being paid to fish. Anyway, I look forward to reading, interacting, and learning a thing or two from this website. Hopefully when all these winter storms stop rolling through, I can get some fish pics up and build a decent reputation on the board. Tight lines! -Jon
