Admin says, "Say hello"

[BradMyers]

So I am. Here is a little brief on me, in the late 60’s I grew up fishing the grass waters of Louisiana around Grand Isle back in the day when redfish were considered trash fish and cooked separate from the speck’s. I moved to Georgia in the late 70’s and had to settle for freshwater fishing, however my first passion is saltwater. Thanks God for big Lake Lanier stripers. I have done some commercial bottom fishing & trolling and really have a big respect for anyone that does any kind of commercial fishing for a living.

After 5 years working as a structural steel ironworker and 2 close calls with death I started a new career in the commercial radio industry 20 years ago. I sell radio advertising, do commercial production and host a weekly outdoor radio show. I also do some reporting on drag boat racing, my favorite motorsport. I have been lucky to witness many records in that sport, including the first sub 5 side by side pass on the liquid quarter mile and many 250+ mph passes. I have also been fortunate to have the privilege of going 350 + mph in a ’57 Chevy, Super Shockwave with Les Shockley. I like fast things.

Most of my fishing now day’s is spent pursuing tasty treats for the dinner table, I love to cook and am always looking for the best tasting fish in fresh & saltwater. My last trip was 2 weeks ago to the SC coast of Pawley’s Island, the fishing was not that hot but the crabbing was and for flavor, Blue’s are hard to beat. My next adventure will be featured on my outdoor radio program, as I will be going after what some people consider the best tasting freshwater fish, the little known Red Finned Pike. A whopper would be around 2 lbs. However it has a tall order to beat my favorite freshwater table fare the yellow perch.

I look forward to being a member on this site, learning a lot and making some new friends. Maybe I’ll even get some topic ideas for Georgia Outdoors Radio. Thanks for reading.

How’d I do Admin?

Welcome aboard. They have quite a few guys from La. on this site, including myself. I bet you miss fishing Lousiana don't you?

[Proheat]

Welcome Aboard Brad!! This site is the best around!
Does your radio show have a webcast so that we can listen?

[GALAZIO]

Welcome to the site!

Lake Lanier... brings back memories. I too see you're from Newnan. I was involved with White Oak when it was being developed and was a golf pro there before hitting the road to tee it up for a living. Left in the late '80's, but still get back to ATL to see family from time to time.

[BradMyers]

Thanks for the welcome. Tenacious, I do miss fishing in La, esp. crawfishing, crabbing & gator speck's. Hopefully I'll get back to try my hands at the oil rigs since I never got offshore.

Proheat, I do have a website I use for airing my show live as well as archiving. I had a bumpy start in getting use to how the site works but seem to have a better grasp on things now. Here is a link to what webcast we have while the shows website is being rebuilt.

Galazio, I know White Oak very well and promoted many charity golf events at the course. I even golfed there once, I'm no golfer but I have played just a little since I have this problem. Every time I get near a water hazard I forget about the clubs and start hunting my fishing rod. lol I doubt I'll ever break this addiction.

Welcome aboard.
And yes, Yellow perch is awesome.
Caught a few a while back. forgot how good they are.
Related to Waleye (spelling may be wrong) arent they ?

Hey there Brad Myer I live in Peachtree City and must travel in the same circles as I fish out of Murrels Inlet several times a year. I fish West Point quite a bit too. Maybe we can get together for our addiction to fishing.

[BradMyers]

ejstenger, Murrells Inlet is my favorite place to be when I'm in SC. It seems they catch a lot of my favorite eating grouper out there the Kitty Mitchell. I see you have a background in avaition, do you go to the Great GA Airshow? I've been working with them for years helping promote that awesome event.

Since you're in PTC maybe we can get together and hit Lake PT for some gizzard shad before the next big die-off. I have a buddy that is a guide and baitman on Lanier, he gets $1.25 per live shad wholesale, what we don't sell we can use on some big lineside's. Bobby Wilson West Point guide is a regular on my radio show with weekly reports. Tune us in Saturday on AM 720 The Voice from 8-10 am.

Joeksr, thanks for the welcome. You're right yellow perch is a cousin of the walleye and some would say better eating, however I beg to differ.
