where do you come from

[jusjl]

Hello to Backlash... You're the closest to me geographically I have seen in my short time on this site.  Salem Or here.  WA and OR are similar in geography... (  cool and wet on the coast, warmer and dryer on the east side. ).  Salem is in the "valley ",  60 miles from the ocean with the coast range in between, 75-100 miles over " the hill" depending on the hiway you take to get to the east side where the bass tend to be bigger becuase the lakes are shallow and it doesn't rain from October until June.  You are also listed as a "newbie", and so am I.  Maybe we can share semi-local tips, questions, and experiences.

I am from west TN near Ky Lake. Fairly new to bass fishing. love it.

I hail from Nacogdoches, TX.  Fourty minutes from Sam Rayburn Res. and about an hour and a half from Toledo Bend.  Fifteen minutes away is a small (750 - 800 acre) lake called Pinkston Lake that spits out great bass I have heard, and we have a 1200 - 1300 acre (i think) more or less recreational lake here in Nacogdoches.  Two hours away is Lake Fork and Lake Crockett, while an hour truck ride in the other direction is Caddo Lake.  Needless to say, there are a couple of nice fishing holes for us to choose from down here.

I live in Illinois but grew up in Florida. I fish tournaments throughout the year and have fished all over the United States. Bass fishing is my life. I just hope others can learn from some of my post or just get them thinking some in the right direction. :

Down South, way down in Mobile, Alabma. Fishing around this area is the best, and it's year round! No ice in Mobile! We have lots of lakes including our 3600 acre water supply as well as the Mobile River and Pascagoula River Deltas. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Oh, the salt water fishing is the best, too.

[Guest notserp89m]

I'm from Missouri and I have been fishing most of my life. I fish streams for smallmouth from my jet boat, and I fish the Ozarks with my bass boat. I write for the Heartland Pro-Am circuit, and last year fished the FLW's albeit on the non-boater side after fishing the Northern Division Everstarts  as a boater for two years. Retired from teaching, so I get to fish pretty often. If the Ozarks area is of interest, I can probably help.  I love going north in summer to catch smallies.

Originally from Wis. lived in Mich. UP on Superior for awhile as a kid.  Moved to  Mesa, Arizona 30 yr ago.  Just started bass fishing 1 1/2 yr ago...a blast.

We have many resevoeur/canyon lakes in the area with small and largemouth, walleye, trout in the mountains.  For more info on AZ go to azgfd.com for fishing reports, stocking schedules etc.

I think PHISH, From Vegas and I must be the Southwestern members.  I fished four days since being on the forum and heve caught fish in two new ways...already

 Originally from Southern Illinois,Relocated to the Mohave Desert.  Spend my spare time trying to figure the Bass out at Lk Mead, Lk Mohave and going to Lk Havasu the second week of January.Will try the won bass circuit in Arizona this Spring.Seems to be a few Bass nuts from the west on this forum.Has anyone been to Bass Pro Shops in Las Vegas? And my wife asks where does all the Money GO?????

[Chris]

Jackie just do what i did. I took my wife fishing and in two days she lost 7 of my jigs and two crankbaits in the trees and put a nice birds nest in my reel.  I said now dear when i go to the tackle shop and buy stuff to go fishing i don't want to hear one cross word because we know how easy it is to loose stuff don't we. It cured my problem.

I reside in Rock Island, IL (about 2.5 hours straight west of Chicago). The area I live in is called the Quad Cities. Our biggest claim to fame is this is where John Deere tractors are made. My house is about 5-10 blocks from the Mississippi River. We have hosted a Bassmaster event, FLW Tour Championship and this years RCL Tour Championship.

Overall the fishing in this area is pretty tough. If you go a little north or south on the river its better but not right on the pool I live on.

According to my wife in the middle of nowhere. Actually Guilford, Maine. Pine trees, lakes, pretty good fishing and blackflies and mosquitos. The county I live in is about as big as Conn and RI combined and has about 17,000 people. More lakes than a man could ever fish. I don't worry about all of you flooding up here and spoiling my solitude because usually one winter and then one mud season followed by one good blackfly season is enough to keep the population in check.
