HI, I am new to the forum. I am predominately a pond fisherman, although I try to get away for some fishing a couple times a year, once to Florida, and once to western Ontario for great smallie fishing. I like fishing worms and spinner baits, but have never been too successful with crankbaits probably because I don't give them enough chance. This year I am promising myself to fish them harder. I have a great opportunity this weekend to fish a pond that gets almost no fishing pressure in Middle Georgia where the 4th largest LMB ever caught in the state was caught. Apparently a lot of big fish there that aren't hook shy. Any way, enough rambling. Thanks for letting me join jim
