New Guy from Central Il

Good morning all. New member here from Central Ill. My Name Doug, I have been in this area for about 2 years, prior to that spent 5 years in Tampa Fl, 1 Year in Atlanta Ga and 21 years throughout the pacific (Navy) Was born in Iowa and raised in Prairie du Chien WI. I am obsessed with Fishing. Specifically smallmouths. I primarily fish spinning gear but intend to work on baitcasters this year, and will focus on jig fishing. Unfortunately I am shore bound but not letting that keep me from the water.
I see some folks here from another site I frequent. Found my way here via Gotstafish's website links.
