Members flounder pounder Posted March 3, 2011 Members Posted March 3, 2011 Well I just moved here from the Gulf Coast. Hardest thing about the move was parting with all my salt water gear and tackle. I have made several trips to BPS and slowly I am building up my arsenal. I have been doing a lot of research online (that's how I found you guys) looks like Stockton is getting a pretty good rap. I think I will make my maiden voyage to Stockton. I plan on pursuing Crappie, Whites, and Walleye. I have not fresh water fished in over 25 years. On days I leave my boat behind, I will try bank fishing at the "pothole" in Forsyth. I have also purchased a few fly rods and reels after spending Thanksgiving Day near the hatchery on Taney Como, I think I may enjoy fly fishing. Well hope to see ya guys on the water tight lines to all!!! Jeff "I feel sorry for people who dont drink! When they wake up, thats the best they are going to feel all day!"

Trout Commander Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Hey Jeff welcome aboard! I can't believe you are just now buying fly gear coming from down in the gulf I can't wait till I get back down there so I can get after some redfish on the fly! Sadly, the last few years when we had been down there I hadn't gotten into fly fishing yet. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted.

Sadly, the last few years when we had been down there I hadn't gotten into fly fishing yet. Jason, I never thought of chasing redfish with a fly rod. Fly fishing for redfish just began getting popular within last 2 years back home. Who knows if I master it here, i may give it a try when I visit family. "I feel sorry for people who dont drink!

So far I must agree with you, there is plenty of good info here. I have learned quite a bit about the local bodies of water in the short time I have been here.
