Real nice forum that you all have here. I am 28 years old and live in the Springfield area. I am looking for new fishing spots, and fishing buddies. My wife works a lot and I am self-employed so I set my own schedules, but fishing by myself isn't as much fun as it used to be! Anyhow, I am familiar with a few of the access points off the James River, Finley River, and that's about it. I am interested in Lake Springfield, Sac River, and Fellows Lake, but I don't know much about them. I will fish for anything but I don't know much about artificial lures and how they work. I've mostly done live bait or home made bait fishing all my life. I would say that my favorite fish to catch is definitely catfish though! It would be nice to meet some new people on here and get some tips and such.
