I have fished as a small hobby in between hunting for years. Being that I am older now with a family and I was spending a ton of money I decided a couple years ago to stop hunting. After a few years of doing no outdoors sports at all I decided last year to get into fishing a little heavier. I have a buddy that fishes and he owned a boat so I tagged along with him. After a couple times I was hooked and decided to buy my own boat. Now I am able to go out anytime I please and love it.

I have not really decided what my strengths are because to be honest I’m just learning it all. I feel like I’ve come a long way in the short time I’ve been into it though. I know I still have a lot to learn and am very glad I found this sight. It’s loaded with great info and good people from what I can tell.
