Joined the site last month and has really enjoyed the wealth of information. I'm from southwest Mississippi. I fish locally Lincoln State Park and a small managed private lake. Like to fish the oxbows from Lake Mary to Eagle on both side of the river and during the winter a trip to Larto. Eight years ago I lost the desire to fish when I lost my 16 year old nephew and fishing partner in car wreck. Time and prayers have eased the loss and the love of pulling a slab over he side of the boat is back. I jumped back in head over heels, bought another boat (Progator 190V), pulled out the jig tying equipment and built the artillery back up along with some new patterns I've seen on this site. I look forward to getting and giving reports. Most of all to enjoy the fellowship that is associated with this hobby and sport. Look forward to meeting new friends and possible fishing partners.
