Thanks for the welcome. I'm new to the forums as well as crappie (sac-a-lait) fishing. I'm looking forward to getting some insite on, well, just about everything. I have 2 kids that are getting old enough to hold a rod, and reel um in. Plus, my wife and I love spending time on the water. Figure there's no better time than now to learn the ways of the sac-a-lait. Besides, we live about 10 minutes from a launch (Tickfaw River) and I want to make time to learn more about the local waterways. Thanks for the great welcome, and I hope to be able to contribute to some pics and post in the near future.
