jdw174 Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Thought I'd pop in here and say hello, along with some information about myself. I moved to west Tennessee about 10 years ago after a career with the Pennsylvania State Police. I currently reside in Paris, some 14 miles from Kentucky/Barkley lakes. I'm a past member of the Pa. Outdoor Writers Assoc., and for several years was an outdoor columnist for the Erie Morning News in Erie, Pa. I also did some work with PRADCO on their "Best New Lures of the 90's series of tapes. I primarily fish for bass, although I will go after crappie/shellcrackers on occasion. Unfortunately, I don't get on the water nearly as often as I might due to working full time in golf course maintenance at Paris Landing State Park. However, the boat's paid for and all my gear works I no longer fish tournaments, although for a time I did and was president of a bass club for several years while in Pa. I hope to be able to pass on some tips/knowledge from time to time here, and I'm always looking to add to my knowledge as well. Feel free to contact me any time. Quote

Super User senile1 Posted November 20, 2006 Super User Posted November 20, 2006 Welcome, jdw174. It looks like Kentucky Lake isn't far from you. Have you ever fished Reelfoot Lake in the Northwest corner of Tennessee? Quote
jdw174 Posted November 20, 2006 Author Posted November 20, 2006 Welcome, jdw174. It looks like Kentucky Lake isn't far from you. Have you ever fished Reelfoot Lake in the Northwest corner of Tennessee? I am exactly 14 miles from the ramp at Ky Lake, and 28 miles from the Dyer's Creek ramp on Barkley. Haven't ever been to Reelfoot. I have a hard enough time finding the time to get on the other two. :-? Quote
