Hi, thought I'd post a brief intro. I'm Zillah, I've been fishing since I was old enough to hold a pole, my mother saw to that. I didn't say fishing well, but for a kid I caught my share. I lost a few years when I was a teen and other things became priority (hindsight is 20/20, I should have kept fishing) and got back to it in my 20's when I'd tell the (ex)hubby (who didn't fish) I was going for groceries and sneak off to my fishing spot instead. And some days I'd haul all four kids with me, even the one in the stroller!

The kids are older now, and in the last couple years we've done alot more fishing. I'm really looking forward to this season as I was gifted with a little aluminum boat for christmas from my best fishing buddy. Finally I'm off the shore! Good thing too, cause my tackle box is getting HEAVY!

I'll catch anything, but it's the bucket mouths and smallies that make my heart race. Most days, I'm happy just to enjoy the outside and throw a line, doesn't even matter if I catch anything. Just the action of casting soothes my soul. I am an addict

Well, so much for brief... glad to be here!

Welcome to BR Cheese Head from The Land Of Fruits And Nuts!

Technically I'm a flatlander, born and raised mostly in Northern Illinois, moved up north here a few years back, chasing lower living costs, worked great for a couple years and then gas went up making driving 40 miles to anywhere interesting kind of a hassle.

And the land of fruits and nuts sounds like a great time to me, I'll get there to visit (and fish) someday! Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks!

Welcome!  Where in WI are you at?

I'm just about smack in between Eau Claire and Wausau. Near Abbotsford. Although I've lived in Kenosha as well. Plenty of fishing opportunities in any direction, but very few within a few minutes of home. I shudder to think of the money spent just on gas to go fishing last summer lol!

Where are you in this big cold state where it seems like spring will never come?

Now I'm tweaked. From Stratford, glad to have you on the forum, you'll like it here.

Welcome to BR! It is a great resource. You're gonna like it here.
