not having a boat I think is my downfall for lake fishing....I am thrilled for everyone who has one and can get on the water...trying to take all the tips from everyone and apply to my bank fishing....at least I have caught a few small bass (one hawg at prague lake) some bluegill at prague...but to catch a mess of crappie, hybrids, or sandbass would be awesome---twin lakes at Shawnee has given me tiny bass and one drum ugh...I love being outside especially on or near water so I will keep going keep trying and thank the Lord for the blessings He gives me (which are limitless on a daily basis)
