New member here from Massachusetts. I was unable to post my introduction in the "New Member" area, so I'll give it a shot here.
I've just turned 66 last month and have been fishing since I was a boy. I've lived in western MA all my life. Born & raised very near to the CT River, I've fished most of the waters in this state. After serving in the Navy for 4 years, I married my wonderful wife, moved to Easthampton and we raised 4 fine children together, who are raising children of their own now. My, how time flies by when you're having fun! >/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
Right now my primary focus is on smallmouth bass fishing, but I also fish for largemouths, pike, walleye and crappie. Most of my fishing season is focused on the Quabbin Reservoir, in Orange/Belchertown areas. I especially enjoy off-shore, deep water smallie fishing there and have been very successful. Maybe 70% of my fishing is done with the drop shot, blade baits & jigs. However last season I started with swimbaits, which are proving to be quite effective and interesting.
Some of you may recognize my nick from other fishing forums which I am active on as well. Hoping to learn a lot from you folks here and I'm looking forward to sharing a thing or two from my book as well. Pleasure to be here...God Bless all!
