Hello. I am 51 years young. I am married, have a son in the United States Air Force and he and his beautiful wife blessed us with a grandson a little over 3 months ago...talking about one proud Papaw! I live in Arkabutla, MS. I have been fishing since I was knee high to a grasshopper. I have been Crappie fishing since I was a teenager. I fished Arkabutla Lake hard and heavy until 2005, when I was diagnosed with Cancer...I beat it's butt and in remission now. I got bitten by the turkey hunting bug and swayed away from Crappie fishing. I decided this summer that I would get back into Crappie fishing and the wife and I have been a few times trolling. We haven't really torn them up but we have fun whenever we are on the water and that's really what it's all about. Glad to be aboard and we are always willing to help out when we can.I hope to learn a thing or two from other forum members and make a few friends along the way. Good luck to all and be safe out there!
