Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the Forum and new to the Texas Hill Country (from West Texas). I've fished and hunted for all of my life (66 years). I'm a life-long Harley rider, wood-turner, metal detector and Welder/Blacksmith. I've always had boats; freshwater fishing is my love even though I lived ten blocks from the ocean for a very very long time (no longer) and spent one or two days a week 15 to 20 miles off-shore in my Mako. I've basically been a Bass fisherman for the last 50 years (combined with the Saltwater aspect), but I miss Crappie fishing very much. I'll need to get back-into-the-groove again and I'm very excited about it. The lakes, in my area, are LBJ, Inks, Buchanan and Belton. I hope to meet some nice people here and maybe get some fishing friends.
