my bastard of a grandfather left an inheritance of old tackle that no one wanted so i started making an effort last year. im keeping my focus on bass till i get em down. mostly wacky plastics and topwaters but starting to veer into jigs/spinners/crankbaits, etc. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
got a 12ft Vee nose rowboat with a minn kota, and a 17ft grumman that im likely trading for a 12ft old town 1 man canoe so i can get out in the mornings after work (3rd shift) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Im mostly on the Chicopee river, forge or Aldrich.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
got my personal best LMB last summer on a strike king baby bass rigged wacky on a #6 lazer sharp. Scale was busted unfortunately<o:p></o:p>
