Hello, Just joined the forums, they are great. I live on 52 acres in rural NW Arkansas 35 minutes from Beaver lake, 18 miles south of Eureka Springs. Have fished since 1965 when my grandfather took his first grandson (toddler) fishing and ruined me. Since then have been fishing for largemouth, smallmouth, kentuckies, white bass, hybrids, walleye, Stripers, and the last 3 years getting into Crappie! My Ranger Fisherman 680T tiller boat can be setup for any kind of fishing, trolling, casting, livebait, drifting, downrigger trolling, you name it. Looking forward to good stories and info on these forums. Maybe I can contribute some useful info too. At the time, recovering from retina detachment surgery in main eye, and can`t drive, work, fish or anything for a few more weeks. Really getting the fishing fever bad, especially after reading this excellent website! Robert Walden 46 Huntsville, AR
