Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Steve and I live in the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. My passion or addiction is fishing like most of us I can't enough. My best friend and his dad introduced me to this great sport at an early age. Since then I have bought my first boat, a 1775 Lund ProV with a 135 Opt and an 8hp kicker. Fishing for bass is my life for many years and now it has come to a slower point in my life with my new addition to the family. My six-month old daughter has become a huge part of my life now but still get out on weekends from time to time. But when I do go I fish the waters of Southern Wisconsin and the Door County area. My passion is for smallmouths. But mostly fish for Largemouths because they are more abundant were I live. I do fish for other species like Northern Pike, Walleye and Musky but very little time is spent doing that. I catch enough of them bass fishing. Thank you for your time. I am really looking forward to talking and sharing info on this site.
