Hello all!

 

I fished a bunch up until about 25 years ago, then got caught up in other things and lost the time to get out and fish.  Recently, I've decided to get back into it.  Man, have things changed in 25 years!  Shimano is now good.  Ugly Stiks are bad.  Uncle Josh is gone.  Fluorocarbon is a thing.  Bass are under pressure.  Ned's got his very own rig.  and Alabama is illegal in some states.  I've got a lot to learn, for sure!  

 

Now I'm living in OKC and rarely have the time to make a long trip, so I usually just fish the lakes closest by whenever I get a spare few hours.  I enjoy it, but these metro area lakes are highly pressured, muddy, and often hard to reach the banks (our forests are dense and not properly managed with controlled burns in this area).  I got a kayak to get off the banks, but even then, fishing is tough out here.  The only time I ever see anyone catch anything is on live bait.  And even then, it's usually just a single dink.  Yet I know they're in there, because the lakes are stocked, and I've seen quite a few large ones swimming around and splashing about.  I just need to crack their code...

 

Anyway, happy to be here!
