ORIGINAL: Missouri_Rebel lol jchastain. Really. I must be nuts. Sure thing AU. What type? Well we mostly bass fish and some crappie. When the sun goes down and the moon comes out is when the catfishing begins. That is if the hooch dont get you first.The lakes are fairly small (from around 7 acres to 60) but some decent sized fish. My one buddy managed to pull out a 10.4 lb bigmouth last year. I usually find the 1.5 to 3.5 lbs myself.The fish are smaller up here a little but a decent sized bass on an ultra-lite feels like Moby Dick. I like a spinner with a medium rod. Cotton candy lizards do the best for me, especially earlier. There are nicer places to go but here you can ride the 4-wheelers and bark at the moon if you like. The bigger weekends have honky-tonk bands in the community barn and plenty of horseshoes. Better bring your game though. The missus is a little thing but can smoke ALL my friends at shoes. Fine lady-sore winner. mo reb edit...yeah bring the the Enfield and whatever you want to shoot. If we run out of ammo, there is always more to buy. That sounds like what it was when I was a kid down in swamps of central Florida. Sounds like a good time I'll tell you. For the past twenty years or so I have been cityfied. Damn, I miss those days. Instead of Super-Buggy's or whatever you call that vehicle, we used to jump into canoes with our .22's and .410's, shoot turkeys, squirrels, crows, buzzards, and yes, (GASP!) gators. The Water Moccasins were the fun ones though. We would glide up on them while they were sunning on a Cypress Knee, and try to bash them with a paddle. I remember one time a friend tumped us over in the process. We and the Moccasin were all in the water together. I did my "Jesus" imitation that day. I don't think I even got wet! You don't know what you have up there friend, but don't let go. AU
