I've been reading some of forums for several months, but this is my first post. I live in the St. Louis metro area and love to fish when I can. I purchased my first boat in August and have really enjoyed it. Fished Pomme in September but have mainly been fishing some Southern Illinois lakes since they are closer. My favorite lake is Table Rock so I can't wait to get down there. I grew up visiting my grandparents who lived on Beaver Lake in Cedar Creek but haven't been back in 15 years.
I used to fish in club tournaments as a non-boater in Arizona when I lived there, but have only fished one since moving back here in 2006.
Thanks for everyone who is willing to share their knowledge and experiences.
