I believe I should have posted here first and properly introduced myself, I'm one of those that have been looking around recently for a bass fish site. saved this one in my favorites when I seen Low-Budget-Hookers boat project(i think it said post 2005?) starten one myself-and kinda alreay been posting about it. :

Kept coming back and reading the forums,sounds like many of ya are buddies.

Well here goes, My names actually Tony, fishin Buds short for Fishing Buddies that me and my son dreamed up when we dreamed about having a little Bass store next to Barkely Lake. I gotta darlin wife that spoils me-a son thats 9(my buddy), a 7yr daughter that will put me in a early grave, and two dogs that I named after my two bosses-jeff and jack which after a long day it feels good to holler at them when needed. ;D I love to laugh=sometimes that gets me in trouble.

Sorry everyone didn't mean to jump forum and lead you to think I was going to try and get some tips and then leave.

So anyone close by Southern Indiana? or am I that alone?

Welcome. . . . . and no apology necessary.  Some people are more comfortable introducing themselves and some just want to jump right in.  Good luck with the boat.
