this sport(yes it's a sport)is addictive.i started fishing for crappie 6 yrs.ago,and have never looked back,i love it.i have only went hunting one time in the last 6 yrs.if the weather is good enough to be outside,i'm fishing rather than hunting.this site (cdc)has alot of good folks here,folks i would have never met had it not been for this site.
