I’ve been fishing for almost all of my life…I grew up in Louisiana and remember fishing with my father, both my grandfathers and several uncles and cousins. As I grew up I continued to fish for bass and panfish, pike and walleye in Canada, White bass runs on the Wolf river in Wisconsin, Salmon, Trout and Perch in Lake MIchigan, trolling for big Walleyes in Lake Erie….you get the picture.  In 1992 we found ourselves living Thibodaux LA and I bought a 19 foot fiberglass center console with a 150 hp Evenrude…and for the next eight years fished the coastal waters south of Lafourche and Terrebonne parishes for Speckled trout, Redfish and Flounder. It came to pass that in 2005 I was the pastor of a church near Canal and Harrison in New Orleans.  I really had been too busy to fish, and all of my lifelong accumulation of gear and tackle was in the garage of our house when Katrina came. We’ve only been back a few times to recover a few items on the second floor….but have made our home here in Monroe LA.  I’m trying hard to get back to fishing but am reluctant to get back involved with a boat at this point in my life. I understand the pros and cons, and am trying to learn to be a happy bank fisherman, and hope to make new friends with boats. 😎 I am looking forward to participating in the forum. Other important facts: married for 64 years come November, three daughters and nine grandchildren….a great grand on the way.
