    I grew up in Arkansas where there was tons of fishing, now I live right on Mobile Bay (Alabama) and can fish off the pier at my apartment complex (saltwater of course) or go out on a boat. I don't own a boat, just jet skis. It is much easier and cheaper to have friends with boats lol. My dad is the head honcho for a saltwater tackle brand and supplies all needed gear, which is handy because I suck at fishing and mess up a lot of tackle, most due to my lack of patience.

    Still would much rather go racing any day.....

      It's been a few years since I went, but Dale Hollow used to have some great walleye fishing.

      And of course some of the biggest smallmouth bass in the world have been caught there. World record fish. But I couldn't catch a cold if I went bass fishing.

              NormP, You've got it all wrong. You find a nice Yellow tail (Asian) and their you will have the best Tuna you ever ate at home And not only that, theirs a Bonus. They will love you Long Time. LOL JMHO

                  If you folks ever visit Dublin Motor Speedway in Dublin, North Carolina, come a little early and bring your pole. You can fish at the track!

                          I've had 3 of those lousy carp jump in my boat and trust me tuna smells like perfume compared to those flying b*stards! I figured it was a matter of time before I got clobbered in the head so I built a Lexan windshield-bring 'em on!

                              Me and my son have fished that creek that runs behind Tyler County Speedway. Big Musky in there. Small creek too.

                                I've been known to sling a spinnerbait once in a while.
