Howdy from Central Kentucky

[Bazoo]

Howdy, I just got back into fishing after about a 10 year break. First, I lost the 2 good spots I had, and then life got in the way. Having a 4 year old son has really spurred me to get back into it, and he now loves it as much as I do.

 

I'm into firearms, mostly lever actions and single actions. Casting and reloading are as big of passions as the guns themselves though.

 

I just bought a Buster Boat made by Splash Marine. Its one of them plastic bass boats. Im sure yall will see me posting about it some and asking questions as they arise. I have a 16' aluminum Rich Line v bottom I'm working on too.

 

I am mostly a bass fisherman, but I will occasionally target other species.

 

I enjoy trying new to me lures and techniques, as well as trying out vintage and new gear. From Zebco 33's to baitcasters and spinning reels, I use it all.

 

I also like tinkering, both on reels and lures. I'm not into making my own lures yet... but that's coming I think.

 

Favorite lure I think is the Heddon Spit'n image with Bill Dance signature in Tennessee shad color.

 

Second favorite is a soft body topwater frog. I've been using the lunkerhunt pocket frog and the cheap Ozark trails popper frog a lot, and tearing them up and my lily pad covered hot spot. Not to mention lots of use of a weedless rigged lizard there.

 

I look forward to learning new stuff and hopefully finding some new fishing spots in my area.

Hi from the Sunshine State of Florida. I too started dabbling with pouring plastic. Right now I just save all my used plastic and I’ve got a couple molds I pour from scraps. 
Have you visited the gun section in this forum?

Thanks for the welcome all. 

 

I've been checking out the forum here and it seems pretty nice. Lots of information. I'm a member of several gun forums, but no other fishing forums currently.

Hey, Bazoo! What does your screen name mean? You sound like an inquisitive guy, which is great.

It is what my Dad called me. He passed away when I was 5 years old. One of my only memories of him is when he took me fishing, afterwards he cut some donuts in a field by the pond, and said "hold on Bazoo!" I can still hear his voice 35 years later.

 

I like to learn, there ain't nothing I can't fix. Ought to work out pretty good with a couple broke down boats.

Welcome aboard from SoCal.

Johnson Silver Minnow ( sharpen the hook) is another good pad lure.

Thanks WRB, I actually have one of those in my box and have used it on the spot that is covered with pads/moss. It does pretty good going through it, but I haven't had any success with it yet.
