Expertise

I have been bass, crappie, brim and catfishing for over 60 years. Most of my recent experience has been on the Apalachicola R. in Fl. panhandle, Dead Lakes and Lake Seminole. I can answer many questions on places to go and some ideas on tactics especially for largemouth bass in these waters. I can`t tell you what fish will bite but can give some lures and methods that have worked well for me over the last 33 years in this area. I am also well versed on boating safety and small boat handling.

Experience in the area

I am not a guide nor a writer or publisher of any magazine on fishing. All of my ideas would come from my experiences and those of fishing partners in local bass clubs in Panama City, Florida.

Organizations

Basmasters. Past member (25 years) and instructor in boating and navigation classes in the United States Power Squadrons.

Publications

ST. Andrew Bay Power Squadron local publication "Stuffing Box"

Education/Credentials

United States Power Squadrons courses in Piloting and small boat handling, celestial navigation, trouble shooting on outboard engines and other non eletronic equipment in boats.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I guess if I ever stop learning I will be through fishing. Of course I would love to catch a 26pound bass but I doubt I will achieve that. Perhaps a lake record. LOL

Drew, First I must make a couple of assumptions. One is that you are talking about either bass fishing or perhaps some of the pan fish such as crappie and bluegills etc. Making this assumption leads

Gene; Thank you for your comments. I just love fishing and am always glad to be of help to others who also love to fish. With the hot weather we have been having I personally wouldn't go on the water

Chris; I really shouldn't try to answer this question at all because I am not a fish biologist or anything near it. My experience has been in fishing not in maintaining fish habitat. About all I could

That sounds like an ornery critter. If I were going to handle this fish I would wear a good heavy pair of gloves. Also I don't think that burning the hands with either charcoal or a metal plate. I fear
