Hello everyone, got 3 to 5 years to retirement and am looking to be a crappie fisherman aswell as other panfish. Cant seem to have enough experiance around chicago, so am looking to head south on my time off fromm here on. I have been a career Chicago Firefighter for the past 16 years,of which 10 were on engine 58 the chicago fire boat hence the name. Have read many fourms here since 1-4-14 when I found this site thru Donnie of Crappielogic. Thanks Donnie. Am hopping to meet new friends and hopefully fishing partners. Looking for a boat for my persutes in this new endevor. thanks Dave
