    Welcome aboard, Jim! Discovering Bass Resource by accident is the best accident you'll have fishing
  2. I won't throw temps at ya. One of my sons and I were all set to put in. In fact we did put in, salt water, today, but didn't get past the dock as the wind picked up like nobody's biz. Ended up putting the yaks back on the truck and going mountain biking!!!
  3. I run mine off the back. Used to run side mount on my canoe, never had any tracking issues. Curious case, this.
  4. Six and one half dozen the other. Old posts, new posts, it's all good. Some people make light of resurrecting old posts (I've done it ) while others are like, dude, do a search first. In an ideal world, we'd all do the hard searching first, right? Maybe... Search, ask. Ask, search.
  5. Welcome aboard, Josh! Enjoy the ride You're at the best place to learn the sport.
  6. Hoo boy. That was tough.
  7. I'd go Medium and light line, 4-8lbs leader or mainline, and make sure the drag is not set too strong. IMO this would be ideal since it provides the backbone an ultralight won't have. Not that you couldn't use a UL, just my .02.

    No can help, but welcome to the forums!
  9. Welcome aboard!
  10. For me, the real test is spinning reels, and for those I prefer Shimano. I've owned both brands in casting and spinning. But I do more spinning than casting. I can say on the casting side the I prefer the Shimano Chronarch over the Daiwas I've used.
  11. I agree with the others, go with a good quality inflatable. And kudos to the Mrs.

    Welcome aboard!
  14. A great time to be a dad!! Enjoy every minute she bugs you to take her to the dock, or out on a boat! Kids grow up all too fast. My youngest son is now 13, and I miss those days. Too many teenage ... things get in the way when they get older.
  15. Welcome aboard! 1. Yes 2. Perhaps 3. $3/day, $45/yr 4. I'd be open to pay, if $ reasonable, reputation good
  16. Unfortunately I cannot help as I've got not experience with either. But I can welcome you to the forums!
  17. Welcome aboard! Richmond guys to the rescue! I can tell you every reservoir on the Peninsula has plenty of pickerel! Caught some mighty nice ones in my time on the water.
  18. Welcome aboard! A little more info needed. What is your price range? We can go all over the price map here. I can recommend MHF give your range, and the size differences between bass, snook, and tarpon. Most will suggest something in the 7' range. You could probably go with a Med XF St. Croix which will be somewhere between a M and MH.
  19. Welcome aboard! Beast of a bass in your pix!

  21. Great balls o' brownies! Those are nice chunks. So wish they populated waters I fish....
