Able Man....thanks for the message. If your ever in the area let me know I'll take you to my favorite spot.

Hey fellow anglers. I'm Bruce from Alliance Ohio. As the my topic says...I'm a student of the sport of fishing. I learn something every cast, watch as many videos as I can and always open to suggestions. I am a bank fisherman using primarily live bait, especially chartreuse worms and crawlers. I have a "Honey Hole" at Walbourn Reservoir that has been very good to me and my two grandsons. Catfish, perch, large mouth and striped bass, and tons of nice bluegill. I look forward to your messages....Bruce

My rule of thumb is what I learned in the military. KISS....keep it simple stupid. Try nightcrawlers and worms. All fish love worms and most have a keen sense of smell and sight. I have found that green worms are amazing. You can buy them at any Walmart or buy a bottle of Worm Glow and follow the simple directions. Good luck and Happy fishing.
