northrivergeek Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 Hello all .. as the topic states .. Im from TN .. Chattanooga, TN to be more precise.. after a lul in fishing for several years .. do to lack of a boat .. feb 05 bought a old bass boat that needed lots of work .. pretty much all the wood in the boat was gone.. but motor was good and good trolling motor and working electronics.. so I pressed on determined to fig out how to get back on the water in this boat .. searched the net for info on rebuilding the wood.. found it ! After many late nights and weekends July 4th had the boat in the water for the first time .. been fishing 1-3 days week since .. wife not so hapy bout it .. she calls my boat my mistress .. heck .. she keeps B* and moanin bout my fishin she's gonna be wining to some other guy bout his hobbies and Ill be out fishing every day ... Anyway .. On to my story of finding TU .. Im on limited budget (wife again B and Moan) as are alot of guys and gals here .. not to mention tired of paying so much for plugs just ta loose em to the TN river. So I got on the net .. started doing some research after much much looking finnaly found this site .. Ive hit the mother load .. frikin Gold Mine of info .. And as luck would have it a couple days after finding it TU servers went down.. I was about to have a stroke .. find this info and POOF! it went away .. But finnally after a week it came back on line I was like a junky needing a fix ! I started saving evey forum page that was of intrest to me and kept puring over every spec of info .. today I cut out my first bait and cut the lip and tested in pool .. it cranks straight and good wobble .. thanx to the info on here .. as soon as I get it painted I'll post it .. My wife aint so estatic as I am .. her comment great more fishing junk for him to spend his time and our money on. Thanx to All TU members .. Im sure I'll have questions for ya I havent yet found answers to .. but for now going back to my newest addiction custom fishing lures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
