halfpint33 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 New here and thought I would introduce myself.My name is Gary westerevelt,live in Columbus,Ks,married,have 3 daughters and my first grandchild(a grandson) will be here in 3 short weeks.Been working in the business form business for 22 yrs now.Grew up on a farm and fished alot.Several years back all my fishing stuff was stolen.Never replaced it until a few years back when my youngest daughter wanted to start fishing.Been fishing off and on for the 5 years.Really started getting the fever last year and go as often as I can.I like to hit farm ponds and strip pits.My dad and I are making our 2nd trip to Lake Texoma to do some striper fishing next weekend.Went last summer and my biggest went 8 1/2 lbs. Looking forward to learning new techniques here.Mainly fishing plastic baits.I almost always use crank baits and live bait. Quote

Super User Sam Posted April 14, 2013 Super User Posted April 14, 2013 Gary, isn't Southeastern Kansas where Alice went to Wonderland? If so, you are in a great place!!!!!! Welcome to the forum. Great having you with us. And it was nice to read that your youngest daughter wants to go fishing. That is a salute to you and your wife to teach her to love the great outdoors. Just ask your questions and we will give you our input. We also have fun kidding around on the site so beware of some screwy answers. Now get ready to learn shaky head, drop shot, Niko rig, Carolina rig, tubes, craws, creature baits, flipping, pitching and on and on and on. Ask away! Quote
