Hello!
  Since I'm a newbie to this site, I figured I would give you all a brief history of myself!
My name is Lindsay. I have been fishing since I was a little girl. I remember when I was little I would sit on the living room floor with newspaper down, and play for hours with the worms in the worm box. I would drape them all over my arms and legs and even across my forehead!  I was always excited for it to rain, and early in the morning I would go out with my father and catch the little critters for the day of fishing!  I am 26 years old right now. I have fishing on and off since I was a little girl, but only within the last three yeas has it been somewhat of an obsession.  I think that also has to do with the fact that my boyfriend also LOVES to fish.  I very rarely fish without him!  We mostly fish on our local lake in Lanark County, Mississippi Lake.  First we shore fished. That was fun and all but then we decided we needed to upgrade and bought a canoe. WELL, if you have ever met me you would know that i am not someone who sits still for very long. I'm VERY squirmy, and can never get comfy. BUT we made the tipsy canoe work for as long as we could. Incredibly we never tipped!  I then got myself a kayak. I loved it. It was much sturdier than the canoe BUT that year I didn't have much time to go out fishing and the only days I could the water was so swift and choppy I couldn't get anywhere with the darn thing. Finally, we got the boat we have now. I don't know much about it, but its orange and small but its fast!  We had just enough room for our equiptment and ourselves in this boat, but it worked!  We had so much fun with that boat, until last summer(luckily right at the end of the summer) when the motor went. Currently we are boatless, BUT are looking hard so when summer comes we can get right back out there and catch some fish!  Most of our fish don't open until June anyways so its not a big deal right now, gives us time to find the perfect boat!
