Good to meet ya! Cowan's Gap is actually where I caught the bass...(and a lot of blue gills)

Thanks Everybody! This is all great info. I've started reading as well, but I think experience is gonna be key with all of your tips. I guess I'm just gonna have to spend more time on the lake... I'll tell my wife you guys said it was ok. I am fishing in Meadow Grounds Lake in McConnelsurg PA.

Hi everybody, I hate to be a pest, but can somebody offer this newbie some advise? I've been a trout fisherman my whole life. Just recently I was given a little bass master's 9 foot boat. Well, I'm of course excited, and immediately fixed it up, put on a small trolling motor and sought out my nearest lake. Here's the problem, again, I'm a STREAM trout fisherman, and have no clue where a beginner like me should start. I actually caught a 13" large mouth on a night crawler yesterday, but I'm pretty sure that was dumb luck. I have no idea where to start, what basic lures to buy, etc. I have some old spinners and various lures and jigs from my dad, bought some purple worms, but that's about it. I obviously don't want anything too difficult to start... By the way, I live in South Central Pennsylvania. Thanks everybody! [move][/move]
