Hello guys!!

New to the forum, been fishing since I was a little one, got bit with the bass bug about two years ago (grew up a crappie fiend). Fishing on a budget (broke college kid) 14ft john boat, some baitcasters and a constantly growing tackle bag (bait monkey gets me every time ) Im looking forward to learning from you guys lol

I really like cedar, have you gotten on fish there lately? Ive been fishing little grassy and crab orchard and have had trouble keying in on fish

It's tough out there, that's for sure. If you're beating the banks, I've had my best luck in the evenings. During the day I've had some success fishing deep weedlines. Also caught a couple dragging Carolina rigs over points in water up to 20 feet deep. Not much quantity, but the quality is ok.

I'm probably done lake fishing for a while. The smallmouth bite is much better on the little rivers in SE Missouri right now.

Hello and welcome to the board and fish Rend and Shelbyville for tourneys down that way.

Welcome..................

Thanks to everybody for the welcomes. I've been thinking about joining a club in the area and have been having a hard time finding one, does anyone have any suggestions?
