Welcome Aboard!!

Glad to have you onboard.  You can learn a lot from the folks here.  They are a bunch of fine ladies and gentlemen.

I would like to make one suggestion, though.  This is not text messaging, so please use punctuation and capitalization in your posts so they are readable.  

How Y'all Are?

Being experienced catfish angler you already have a huge advantage over many bass anglers because you should already understand structure and how fish relate to it.

One trick I use to locate areas to fish is to look for trotline markers  

A hearty WELCOME to the BR Forums - the BEST bass fishing site on the Net, IMO. I love to fish for cats when I want to just relax, throw out some mackeral or stink bait and wait for the line to zing out with a monster on the other end!

Bass fishing is a real challenge. Anyone can catch 'em, even with a bobber and nightcrawler. The addiction kicks in when you're seeking them out with lures and plastics. IMO:o)

A wee bit of warning:  watch out for the "Curse of the Bait Monkey". He will surely get his little paws on your $$$$$s:o)
