Instructions from the Expert:

It will help a great deal if you let me know a little about where you are fishing and something about yourself. Also make your questions as specific as possible. In my experience in answering questions on this site the most difficult thing is not knowing where the questioner fishes and other information on the water being fished.  I then must generalize rather than being more specific in answering the questions.

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ASKING QUESTION.  I HAVE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF QUESTIONS CONCERNING ANTIQUE RODS AND REELS.  I AM NOT EXPERT IN THIS AREA.  IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT FISHING I WILL BE GLAD TO ANSWER TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY.

PLEASE, PLEASE, READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE ASKING YOUR QUESTION. THANK YOU. PLEASE, I HAVE BEEN GETTING MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANTIQUE RODS, REELS ETC. I hate to refuse questions but I really can not be of help in this. If you have an old rod, reel, lure etc. try contacting the maker if still existing or try antique fishing tackle on the web. I am genuinely sorry that I CAN NOT ANSWER SUCH QUESTIONS. I have been bass, crappie, brim and catfishing for over 70 years. Most of my recent experience has been on the Apalachicola R. in Fl. panhandle, 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

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 or from reading many books and magazine articles over the years.
