Hey guys and gals, my name is Brian and im kinda new to fishing. Just these past couple of weeks ive been getting really into it and would love to soak up any tips and techniques. I fish mostly small ponds, the missisippi river and couple bigger lakes. Im willing for a little drive for a good fishing hole too! I use alot of plastic worms (Gulp is my favorite!) some top-water and im tryin to get the hang of jiggin. Anyone know any good places in the southeast Missouri area off the beaten path for good fishin?
