My name is Tony and I live on the banks of the Conecuh River just outside of the metroplex of Gantt, Alabama. The part of the river in which I live is situated between two dams, so it is actually a lake, which is named Point 'A'. I catch pan fish next to the bank, every once in a while a bass or crappie, then casting out into the channel there are channel cat and blue cat, around the 5 to 8 lb range. The largest I caught was a blue cat that weighed 18 lb. I have been fishing this same spot from my yard for over 20 years so I can pretty much walk out and look at the water and tell you whether or not a fish is going to bite. My old dog is a great help as he watches the pole and starts barking when a fish is on the line. He love fried catfish and learned this on his own over the years.
Nice introduction. Welcome to our little family.

Wow, wish they had that out here.
You can order on line. If youβre brave you should try the hot stuff.β€οΈβπ₯
Your life sounds very peaceful. You are a lucky man. Who needs bells when your dog lets you know when a fish bites. Now if you can teach him to fetch a beer you're in heaven.
