Hello everyone. I've been reading everything I can find on this site for the last 2 weeks and figured that as good of a resource as it is, I had better join and try to start giving back. I'm 30 and have been fishing for the last 2 years (the last 6 weeks very avidly). About two years ago I purchased a 17' nitro some various rods and lures and start fishing 5 nights a week and usually twice on the weekends. It went on like this for about 6 months. As life does to us the fishing time became less due to work or other nuances. Then the boat sat till 3 weeks ago when I traded up. All that being said i have landed a total of 5 fish (i remember every one by the lure and conditions) in the boat and still look forward to every time I can get on the water regardless. I have been consumed by the information on this site and probably spend about 6 hours or so throughout the day on here reading. I look forward to getting to know everyone on the site and building some good friendships. Thanks in advanced for answering my trivial questions and allowing me to participate in what seems to be a very good community of avid and resourceful fishermen/women.

Welcome aboard! Vacationed at SML this summer, state park. Nice bass fishing in that area!

Hello and welcome!

BASSHUNTING, welcome to the Forum. We have a lot of great Virginia guys and I know you will learn a lot about fishing both SML and other Virginia venues.

 

I fish SML once a year in a two-day club tournament out of Halesford Harbor in November. Always enjoyed fishing SML even if it is larger than Delaware!!!

 

We look forward to your posts and our posts back to you about fishing SML.

 

And what boat did you trade up to?

Thank you very much.  I traded up to a Nitro Z8 with a 200.  It already had the blacklight Kit in the rubrail as well , so it's not hard to pick me out on the lake at night!

Welcome Home!

I like that response.  I've been getting familiar with this site for a while now, and want to say that "Home" is definately a well fitted phrase.  It's very encouraging to come to such a site that feels like a membership into something productive rather than a site solely developed for a product sponsor outlet.  I am already gearing up toward taking the next road trip.  Thanks again.
