I am new to bassresource and I've fished a little throughout my life growing up, but now I am 23 and a father and a husband and have really gotten into fishing this past year....my wife fishes with me everytime and we have struggled in the beginning....we started fishing at a place called cross lake in shreveport on the banks and renting a jon boat and didn't have much luck but recently started fishing lake bistineau and have been doing pretty well even though it is summer....we are still in need of a decent bass fishing body of water closer to home when we can't travel, find a babysitter, and ect...
