I am a new member. I used to fish quite often, then life got in the way. I was active duty military for over 20 years. Retired from military almost 10 years ago. With job, family, and building a house, and then a divorce after over 20 years of marriage.... the fishing hobby went to the bottom of the priority list.
Now, kids are grown. Discovered the love of a women who believes in only being with one man and the importance of shared activities as well as solo actvities.
I am getting back into fishing. I have recently completely refurbished a 16' aluminum bass boat (Fisher Marine) that belonged to my grandfather.
I have been out of it for so many years. I am trying to gain knowledge of equipment, lines, lures, and techniques used. I have forgotten so much. I used to fish Truman Lake in central MO. I am located about 90 minutes north of Table Rock Lake, and 60 minutes south of Pomme de Terre Lake.
I loved flipping/pitching (pig and jigs) at Truman as well as topwater buzz baits in the early morning or later evening...lots of action.
Now I have the time and some money.... I am wanting to get back into the fold.
