Hi guys! I hope you're all having a safe day today with these storms whipping through here. My name is, Brian, and I was hoping to possibly meet someone awesome that I could fish with around my area. Not really feeling the bank fishing now with all the snakes moving around. Spring time is breeding time for those jokers and I'd hate to get bit fishing alone. I keep trying to fish off the banks with minnows, but they tell me the fish are not shallow yet, so it's really a drag. I mean, I'm out there at 5am ready to feel the thump and 5 hours goes by fast and nothing. I went last year and caught 18 in 2 hours same spot. And all these ponds around here that are stocked are bass and cats.

The main bodies of water I normally fish are Lay Lake, Oak Mountain State Park, Logan Martin, Alabama River, Lake Mitchell, Jackson Lake and Cooter's Pond (I grew up on Cooter's and Jackson so I know them well).

I don't mind driving as long as it's not 2-3 hours. I live in Shelby County, Alabama. I work 2 jobs and I get my daughters on the weekends, so I'll have to plan it out. I work for Forestry during the week and have weekends off, and my other job is at night but only a few nights a week. I can throw in on gas, snacks, bait or whatever. I have my own equipment and bait bucket. I'm a cool guy. I am 38. I'm quiet and I don't talk a lot. Lol. I really would like to meet someone cool to fish with this Spring. Haven't been fishing for crappie from a boat really since my grandfather passed away in '96.

Well, have a blessed day guys and I hope to hear back from someone sooner than later. My last post only had 1 reply - thanks, Prater!

Brian
