Thread: New Member Introductions

Name is Mike, I retired from the USAF in 1988 and from ADT October 2010. Used to fish regular but due to work, health and Katrina, I haven't fished for several years. I'm now retired and getting back into in heavy. Naturally, when I wasn't fishing I gave all my equipment to my nephew and now I'm having to buy everything new. I love the shopping though, and thank heavens I have an understanding wife.

welcome to the board Mike!

Welcome form the NW side of the state.

Hi,
My wife and I fish Arkabutla, Sardis, and Enid. Arkabutla is our main lake. Lakeview was on the list until they closed it.
I use to read the MDWFP forum before they closed it down. From what I've read so far this seems to be a very informative site. Thanks to everyone for good information, and I'll try to add some if I can.

Thanks

Welcome to the site, you can learn a lot here from most all of the guys. Dont pay any attention to one in particular and that would be Wannabe since he is full of it. You know what --IT is! lol.

Thank You!

Lived in Memphis most of my life. Fished a lot of local lakes close to home with my dad. Island 40, Dacus,Wapanocca,Sardis,Enid,Lakeview,Tunica. My grandfather, Stanley Moore was a commercial fisherman on Sardis, so as a young boy, I spent my entire summers down there with my grandmaw and grandpaw.My grandmaw, Helen Moore was a better crappie fisherman than my grandad.They lived off the river chute coming out of the lower lake.We bank fished a lot with some poles she cut that had to be 20ft. long.She knew that spillway like the back of her hand! She would put me in a spot between 2 other people and I would be catchin the daylights out of fish while people on either side was doing hardly nothing! FISHING IS IN MY BLOOD!!! I moved to Southaven 12 years ago and I fish The Butla more than any of the big 3 because it is so close.Once I feel I can go there and catch fish anytime, then I'll move down to Sardis and work on it a while! I really love the knowledge of fishing I have found on this web-site and I hope I can get to know everyone here a lot better.I have a dumb question to ask and that's how do you add a picture to your username on the threads and a quote to live by. Any help will be greatly appreciated.Well my 1 finger is about tired from all this pecking so I'm going to give it a rest. OLD FISHERMAN NEVER DIE, THEY JUST SMELL THAT WAY!!!!!
