Hello Everybody From Another Newbie

[24KGold]

I was surfing for fishing sites in the Ozarks and came across this forum. I got real excited after reading a few posts and can't wait to post and chat with fellow fishermen. I mainly fish in local rivers from a canoe and my main taraget is Small mouth Bass. However, I would like to become involved in finding Walleye also. I'm sure I'll be talking to some of you soon.

Thanks for the welcomes guys.

It all began for me back in the late 80's. A friend took me to the Kings River and we floated from Rock House to Trigger Gap. Back then you could float on a weekend there and never see another soul.

Catching Small Mouth got into my blood and I've been chasing them ever since.

I try to do as many over-nighters as I can because camping on the river is a wonderful treat. Mostly now, I go to the lower end of the Buffalo River with a group of others from my Sunday School class and we have great fellowship together. We don't get to go very often because an over-nighter means missing church, so unless everyone can take off a Friday, we only go 3 times or so a year.

The Kings River is my first love, though, and whenever I can, I'll go for a day here and there during the year.

There are several other rivers in the area I haven't fished yet, so they are on my list.

I also plan to try some Walleye fishing in March next year on the Kings. When it comes to fishing, I'm like a dog who likes to hop into the truck and stick his head out the window and just "Go" even if the fishing is slow for the day, because as everyone here knows, "A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work". Bye for now.
