Ill bet you are. Welcome to Iowa... If you find any good ledge fishing let me know please so I can try it close to home.
Hey everyone! I'm Jake. I am 19 and from Council Bluffs. I have been fishing competitively with a club out of Omaha, NE for going on 5 years. I am thinking about fishing some of the Iowa Bass Stalker tournies if I can find a partner with a boat (my boat has no livewell). I wasn't able to fish for the first half of last year because I was in the Air Force for 7 months. Was discharged in July due to an injury sustained in a training exercise. I use to do most of my fishing on the small Omaha metro lakes being a shore angler but now since I have a nice 15' 7" v hull boat that I am converting into a bass boat I am going to be fishing more of the Iowa lakes. My favorite lakes in Iowa to fish are Browns Lake and Blue lake south of Sioux City. I have had my best days of fishing the last 2 years on both of these lakes. My biggest strength I feel is my versatility. I can be catching fish on a shallow squarebill one day and then the following day be throwing a flick shake rig out deep and having equal success.
welcome to the board Jake!
Hello all,
My name is Tom, I am from the Des Moines area. Spent my younger years in Eastern Iowa fishing on Wapsi and some other ponds and sloughs in the area. Graduated from ISU, Go Cyclones! then spent some time in the Army. I have since moved back to Iowa with my wife and kid. Just bought my first boat last year, 2009 Lund 1725 Deep V. Spent some time on Rathbun, Saylorville, and Big Creek. Just starting to learn the sport of bass fishing.
I would like to get into tournament or club fishing someday. Still need a lot of practice though.
Welcome Tom and thank you for your service

hey guys, I just got my first boat earlier this year. Fished with my dad in a small club for a few years, did some shore fishing off and on for several years. I'm from Ankeny and primarily fish Big Creek (no luck catching bass: tips welcome!). I also made the trip down to Roberts Creeks a few weeks ago and caught several bass. let me know if you're in the area and want to go fishing!
Welcome aboard!!!
Welcome.

Hello all, I'm Josh and from the CR area. I spent 4 years active duty in the Army after Sept. 11th, now out & back home in Iowa. I didn't start fishing really until a couple years ago, now I spend most of my free time doing it. I usually fish the rivers here in eastern Iowa, occasionally hit the Mississippi. Learning how to as I go, both with boats and the fishing side.
