Anyway thanks for joining in and we look forward to following some of your trips.... and getting to meet you on the pond... Each spring we do a flotilla, if you can make that, it's a great time to meet lots of other BFT contributors... Lot of fun to fish with so many great fishermen and women, I've really enjoyed being able to spend time with them and learn from so many great teachers that have helped my fishing game... So join in and have some fun with us... Welcome... Jeff

Thanks WH2…you know we did pretty good. I’m not sure about total numbers, but overall very satisfied.

I grew up along the banks of the Mississippi River in Quincy Illinois. I moved to Utah in 2003 from Louisiana (Retired military). 

I prefer to chase Walleye, Crappie, Bass, bluegill, and Perch. I fished out of my old 1998 16’ Skeeter bass boat for years (lots of wet butt days trolling on Willard). Two years ago I sold about everything I owned, including several family members and purchased my dream boat; 2080 Ranger Angler. 

Anyway, looking forward to meeting more of you…sharing fish stories and tips.

My ride :

If you see it at Willard, stop by and say hello.

Thanks Jeff! Ya, we can call it a ride. I’m definitely looking forward to the Floatilla. 

Thanks again!

Do you troll cranks for them, jig or bottom bounce?

 Welcome to the site, officially! Looking forward to meeting you and reading of your adventures. We too are retired military (USAF) and have been happy with being here in Utah. After all our time spent all over we chose to stay after being assigned to HAFB. Our boat is Hewescraft  180, silver and white. Hope to meet you out on the water.
