Some of my ideas, and methods, hints and a few little tips, from an ol' Outdoorsy guy. I have been into the Art/Sport of Fishing for most of my life. Yup, that's right friend! I've been hooked on <a href="http://larrybass.tripod.com/Fishing.html">Fishing</a> for over 4 decades now and counting and I'm showing NO signs of letting up, anytime soon... ;-)
