Thanks for the welcome. Looks like I can pick up some interesting info. Better half and I live in the center of Al. Usually fish for crappie and bass. Lost my fishing partner because she got a little lap dog. She also can't take no sunlight. She hates night fishing. Anyway. I am semi-retired. Work every other weekend. Usually fish Lay, Jordan and the Alabama river. Been looking at Guntersville and Lake Martin. Want to learn about jig fishing. Been using minnows all this time. Anyway, glad to be here, maybe this old man will learn something.
