...g'evening y'all..!! ..just wanted to say hello, and express my happiness at finding a site full of so many diverse & knowledgeable anglers...!! I'm retired Navy, and just moved back home(Alabama) after a 25yr hiatus in Va, with a brief stint in NH..trying to reconnect with my old roots here, find new fishing spots, adjust to Southern bassin' and learn a new career is trying on these old bones, but luckily, after stumbling on your site a few weeks back and tweaking a few techniques, I'm amazed at how my hook-up ratio has steadily risen...slowly, to be sure, but UP no doubt..!! ..I hope to learn a lot from the members and VAST amount of experience, tips, techniques, and knowledge represented here, and hopefully, donate a bit of my own - once again, here's to new & future friendships, and thanks again for having me..!! - Woody
