desmobob Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Hello everyone, I'm 53 years old and a lifetime fisherman. I grew up spending summers on Lake George, NY and continued spending lots of time fishing there throughout my lifetime. I fished for smallmouths, lake trout and landlocked salmon. For a long time, most of my fishing was fly fishing for trout and panfish in other local lakes and streams, and fishing flies in saltwater for striped bass, bluefish, dorado, etc. This summer, I bought a bass boat (Tracker Pro 170) and trailer it to the southern end of Lake Champlain (South Bay boat launch) near my home. Largemouth bass fishing in southern Lake Champlain is a whole lot different than fishing for smallmouths in Lake George! I've been having a lot of fun learning to fish this new environment and have also had a lot of fun buying new equipment and tackle. :-) I've been doing a lot of reading and research on largemouth fishing and a lot of web searches have brought me to posts here on Bass Resource. I figured I had better register for an account. I enjoy Internet forums with people sharing their experience and knowledge and I look forward to being a productive member here. Take it easy, Bob Quote

EmersonFish Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Welcome to the forum, and LMB fishing. I need to get into the stuff you were doing before. I have only dabbled in fly-fishing, and really enjoyed it, but am terrified of developing another expensive addiction. Quote
