    Default Hello everybody


    Hey everyone, I am brand new to this site and am having the time of my life reading everything everyone has written here so far.

    Here's the deal. I am an "olddude" in W. Arkansas that loves to fish. I have been trying to catch mainly bass but have gotten pretty frustrated at it. I am not going to quit but would like to catch a fish every once in awhile. I have read that crappie are somewhat easy to catch and one can catch alot of them if in the right place at the right time. I have been surfing the net trying to get all of the info I can on catching fish and am really, really anxious to get out on the water and give it a try.

    I have a 14' jonboat with a 5 hp motor that I fish out of. I use cheap rod and reels from Walmart because being retired I don't have any money to spend on higher quality gear. I buy a few lures as I am able to afford to. Now, I have caught a few fish, and I emphasize "few", and enjoy just being on the water. I hope to be able to post some pics of some catches in the future but in the meantime I will be here getting tips from you all. Hope you don't mind. Thanks for the tips I already have and hope everyone will catch a bunch of fish everytime you get the chance.

    Welcome to the sight but you better be careful lots of bass fishermen have fallen prey to the crappie bump and had to trade all those bass baits for jigs this comes from a former bass fisherman.
