Thread: Curious about names

Mine is simply the boat I fish from a Ranger 375 XT. Have also used the handle "Barney" that my now sister-in-law hung on me when she could not see that my name on my shirt was "Barry". That stuck with me for several years and some still call me Barney.

This came from the rememberance of my grandfather who always took me fishing. He did not believe in fancy store bought rigs. He cut our poles. I do not know where he found them, but I believe along the banks of the South Forked Deer River. I had to use black rayon line and no bobbers. We tight lined minnows. There were no engines, or trolling motors, no sonar. He skulled an old wooden boat up and down the Big Sandy. We caught big fish then, but, I was just a kid. It stirs strong emotions ,and almost tears, as I type this. I loved that old man and miss him dearly.

I didn't want to have to type "Louisiana Bill" every time I logged in, so I shortened it to "labill." Simplicity is beautiful.......

Nothing special here, Retired Broadcast Engineer, just tring to get along until the end.... Started fishing at 7 and almost 68 now. I told the family to scatter the ashes in the swamp where I love to fish..

Mine is pretty simple too. Crappie fishing and Farming are about the only two things I do and since I can be a harvester of crappie I COMBINED the two. CF

One sunday afternoon I walked into the kitchen, kissed my girlfreind on the cheek and told her I would see her later. She asked where I was going and I told her crappie fishing. This was after I had fished till 3am on friday night, 1am on saturday night. She replied "You've just gone crappie crazy haven't you." I just walked out the door grinnin.

I go hiking in the Cohutta Wilderness Area of northern Georgia. There's a nice river there called Jack's River. There's also a big waterfall. So any way I like the place and crappie and then combined the two.....CohuttaCrappie
