.....which is short for lower alabama round here! I'd like to say I appreciate y'all having me here! I've been lurking for a few days reading post and what not, so I though I'd join in. I probably won't have much to add to discussions because I'm a tad bit green when it comes to fresh water. I've spent most of my years on the "big pond", or most of you guys know better as the Gulf of Mexico.

I moved back to bama several years ago (c'aint choose your family) and let me tell ya, going from 1st mate on a 48' sportfisherman, fishing the big pond every day to....well, alabama, was a shock to my fishing soul to say the least. I refused to wet any line unless it was saltwater. I just couldn't get excited about catching....bait!

Well, roughly a year ago, thanks to some peer pressure from a buddy, the fresh water bug, or better yet, the bass bug bit me.... I mean took a good bite too (and that green frog on the end of my line sittin on top of some lilly pads)! In an instant that 3lb fish changed me. He gave me back that belly tingle I use to feel while my hook was soaking. He gave me the "bait monkey and made me poorer. He gave me back my Fishin! So here I am, eager to learn, willing to share, and looking forward to many more discussions in the future! So good fishin to all y'all and remember....there's alway's room in the boat or in the box for Uno Mas!! 8-)

Welcome aboard. I live in Baldwin county. What about you?

Welcome Uno Mas!  

Welcome!  Fort Rucker here.

After fishing saltwater and other places, I am always amused when a saltwater guy asks why I'd want to waste time fishing for 'bait'.  It's all about the hunt.  And for me, the hunt for a nice bucket mouth is everybit as exciting as any other game fish.

SnowBass, let me first say Thank You for what you do for our country! You guys are the real heros!!

I was a CIV contractor on Mother Rucker for 5 years. I live roughly 11mins 45sec from the D-ville gate...giv or take depending on whos driving. In fact, one of your guys just bought a new home from me I built in D-ville. The only reason I mention that is because he was just transfered in from Ft. Polk, LA. and he has a real nice bass boat. Great guy!  Ive been waiting on his invitation to show him around Eufaula or even Lake Thalokcoaa (I butchered that spelling but I know how to say it right ;D) but I haven't got one yet.

I know what you mean about those saltwater guys.....I use to be one!

Welcome .  Very nice first post, btw.

Hey Uno,

Great story and welcome to the best place for fishing on the web.

As for you fishing for "bait" just remember that us guys from Louisiana eat "bait."

And another great thing about bass fishing, you usually don't get seasick!

Now, the major issue you have to deal with is which school, Alabama or Auburn, you are going to support this football season.  

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome home!

Welcome to the group Uno Mas, sounds like you'll fit in just fine. All of us here at Bass Resource have bad Bass bites all over us and keep on askin' for more.   ;D  You gotta love it!
