My name is Shawn, I'm 29, and a disabled, retired USMC combat veteran. I have 2 wonderful kids and an amazing and supportive wife. Since taking my retirement, I decided to take up bass fishing. I'm hoping to buy a Jon boat when I save up enough and modify it a little to make bass fishing more enjoyable. Where I live, there aren't any public ponds that I'm aware of, and the lakes are all developed except for maybe a small dock or boat ramp. I've made due with what I have, but success has been limited.
