Started fishing at 5 yr old for bluegill and bullheads. Then moved on to
"Green Carp" until I couldn't lift all the lures I "had to have" Then started with
ultralight and found my passion! Now fish mostly Crappie and Walleye.
I've fished all over Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ontario, Michigan, Illinois as well as
Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Missouri, Hawaii and England. I've also
built custom rods, repaired reels, ran a tackle shop. I make all my own buzz baits, spinnerbaits, in line spinners, jig heads, sinkers, ice fishing lures.
Recently started to tie jigs seriously although I did some years ago along with
bass bugs and critters. Favorite Lake......any with water over 3 feet deep!!!!
Founded DeKalb County Anglers Assm. Fish some tournaments. Taught both
my kids to fish and they love it. Now it's just wifey and I. Not only is she a
goodfisherwoman but a damn fine wife and mother to boot!!!
I enjoy this forum for all the good info and interesting characters on it.
I also participate in "The Rodbuilders Forum" which is similar but aimed at rod
building. Now that I've bored you with my life, I hope to "see" you all
on the forum and keep up the good work.

Tight lines and give back what you have learned by helping others!!!
