I went fishing for crawdads once with a crew I was stationed with. Mean little bastards! I will tell you LR, freshwater fishing is immensely more difficult that saltwater. You actually need some skill for freshwater!
I love getting to fish saltwater. Doesn't happen often lately. Had a cousin live down on the gulf in Texas back in the 90's (he now lives 1/4 mi from me) who I used to go visit. We'd fish in the bays and go offshore some. Loved it.
