i fish therefore i am!, ive been fishing since i was 4 and havent stopped. in the mid 90's i started to fish bass tournaments and did well for the 3 yrs i did so. since i have purchased 2 boats a basshunter for small ponds with 2 motors and lcr, and a tracker super guide v 16 tiller for bigger lakes and such. I have been tying my skirts on jigs and spinnerbaits since i bought a cheap vise in 95 to keep them from sliding, and i still use it. i have since been tying crappie style jigs as well, and i think im doing ok without any instruction from any real tyer's.,... I hope my joining here will be fruitful for me and you all as well.
