Default Hi Guys

I'm new on the board and just wanted to say hi.

The wife and I moved to Bowling Green, KY from NJ last August. Wife retired, I work part-time.

Sold my boat (saltwater rig) when I moved and am now fishing solely out of my kayak (Tarpon 120... planning an upgrade to a tad bigger in 2014 or 2015). Considered another boat, but now that I am out from under the marina fees, the ramp fees, the smoked bearings, the $20 a gallon oil, the water pumps, the bent props, the batteries, the electrical "bugs", the gel-coat chips, insurance, towing coverage, etc., I can't see myself going back.

Was mostly a saltwater guy for 25 or so years, so have been doing a lot of reading up on freshwater and managed to catch a few bass here and there in the Fall while just starting to learn the local water... and by "learn" it, I mean how to get there from my house . The learning curve is steep and I'm still on the bottom but hope to do some climbin' this spring and summer.

Seems like a good board here. Have enjoyed seeing that some of you are out catching fish despite the weather.

I don't plan to post much but will contribute when/where I can.

Welcome Sir, Kentucky lake is a great fishery. I am not sure where you are compared to it but I would give it a try there.

Always nice to see a fellow yakker...welcome and feel free to ask any questions (even the "dumb" ones) and to share what you can/want. This is a great forum full of people willing to help and learn.

Welcome to the forum.

What all did you target in the salt? Or it may be easier to say what you enjoyed targeting since there are so many fish.

You can learn a lot of good stuff from a lot of good people here.....except from SAMBOLIE.

If he chimes in with advice, just send him a smiley face , pat him on the head and ignore anything he has to say about anything or anybody. Especially if he says anything bad about me. He's just a jealous, broken down shell of a used to be man. He's so envious of my talents and good looks that he breaks down in tears at the mere mention of my name.

OH, and welcome to the board. If you get the urge for some crappie fishing this spring, I'm right on your way down to J Percy Priest lake. You can jump in my boat and we'll punch some holes in the water.

I might even feel sorry for SAMBOLIE and take him too!

Thanks.

Stripers, bluefish, weakfish, fluke (summer flounder) and tautog (blackfish). Occasionally chased false albacore and cod. All inshore stuff... mostly with artificials (except for the tautog... that is a bait only deal). Did a fair amount of surf-fishing to go with the boat and kayak.

Thanks.

If you need ballast on the boat sometime, give me a shout. I'd be happy to go. I know less than nothing about crappie fishing.

Welcome to the forum, and to the south.

As txnative said, "feel free to ask dumb questions" so that agelessone can participate in the conversations.

Welcome to Tuckeessee area!

Barren River lake has a lot of fishing during the warm season but strangely
they lower it to a small river during the winter.

It's an easy run to Old Hickory Lake from BG and takes about an 1 1/2 hour ride.

I am in BG every day selling Truck parts, the people there seem to be
nice enough.

See ya around.

Halli
