Good evening everyone,

My name is Gregg and I've been fishing since I could hold a fishing pole. I'm a pond hopper now but I grew up fishing big water in South Georgia. My family and I took occasional trips to the Flint River and Lake Blackshear. Those trips were nowhere near as successful as our outings to Eufaula/Walter F. George. I have a lot of fond memories of Eufaula, particularly late February and early March trips for crappie where we would routinely limit out in 3-4 hours of fishing. My first bass was a 4 pounder caught on a Zoom Ol monster Junebug worm while Carolina rigging a Eufaula ledge at midday. This was over 15 years ago, and I hear Eufaula is full of hydrilla now. I'm curious how much it has changed since I was younger. I just bought a Feelfree Lure 11.5 and can't wait to get it in the water at some of the old spots that my father and I used to hit.

Recently, my personal best fish have came from farm ponds. One pond was managed for trophy fish and I caught an 8 pounder. The other pond I pulled out nothing but dink bass for over a year before catching a surprise 6.5 pounder. I've already soaked up some knowledge from the forums and articles and looking forward to being a member of the bass resource community.

Welcome to Bass Resource! :lol: (A.K.A. my favorite website of all time) Glad to have you here!
