Hello, so finally have the time to fish more. After 12 years in the service, battling my own brain for the past few years, I am now starting hobbies to help me get better, motorcycles have done that and now I am starting to fish again. Still looking for a small boat to get off the shoreline, if you know of a fishing spot near Kansas City, Mo I would love to hear about it. Smithville Lake is only 5 mins from the house so I normally go there. Anyway, hope to get some great information and maybe a friend or two who knows. have a great day.
