Hello everyone, I'll start off by saying thanks to everyone here.. I've been lurking around for the last month and I've learned so much in that little time.
About a month ago I picked up fishing again after about 15 years. I did a good bit of fishing in high school with a few friends. One rod/reel, a pack of red shad worms and maybe a rat-l-trap in my pocket.
Well a month ago my Girlfriend won a ultra lite spinning combo at work and I went out a few times and re-caught the fishing bug.
I'm just shore fishing, but, luckily where i live I have a ton of places to go. My best day since i started back up was out a Tenoroc. In the morning I caught a little 1lb bass on my first cast of the day and about an hour later pulled a 5lbr out from under a pier. I went back in the after noon and caught 3 more 1lb and 2 2.5-3lbrs.
In a short time me and the monkey have done some damage to my savings account. I have a respectable tackle box and waist pack. 2 casting setups and a spinning. I do have a spinnerbait all star rod on the way from *** and the Quantum Catalyst that is on sale at Cabelas. Along with a few more lures that i need to learn how to fish.
Thanks for having me and the info that is freely passed around.
