Nice fish! I've only fished the Zara Puppy but I've caught quite a few nice sized largemouth on it.

It's all good man. I guess I'm a little jealous. I miss the days of being 16 and not having to worry about bills and whatnot.

I'm gonna guesstimate that I spend maybe a couple hundred bucks a year on lures, line, hooks, and such. I just bought my first baitcasting combo this year. Just got a cheap one to learn on so that was another $80 bucks. Don't have a boat so the only other expense I really have is gas to and from the lake but since there are like 3 or 4 of them within 20 minutes, I really don't use too much gas.

Most of the lakes I fish have a very limited amount of space for shore fishing. So basically if the fish aren't in that particular area at that particular time, I'm S.O.L. If I can get 3 or 4 fish in a couple hours, I consider that a good trip. And like BassinLou said, if they're caught on topwater then so much the better. But in reality, every day spent fishing is a good day even if I don't catch anything.

Well, personally if I'm fishing for bluegill I just use a bobber and 2 small hooks with pieces of worms for bait without a sinker. I just cast this rig out and then slowly reel it back. This lets the worms have a nice slow natural fall. The bobber serves a dual purpose. Not only does it help to indicate strikes and keep the bait suspended in the strike zone, but it also provides a little extra weight to help cast the rig out there. And besides, I think you can buy a 6-pack of them for like 2 bucks so you could always just pick some up and use them when you feel you need them. If you don't care for the live bait under a bobber type of fishing, you could buy a couple of small inline spinners (1/8 oz. or smaller) or some small crankbaits like the Strike King Bitsy Minnow or the Rebel Crickhopper. I've had success catching bluegill with both of these. Another thing to keep in mind is that if your planning to start bass fishing, you'll probably need a heavier setup. Catching a 21 inch bass and catching a 8 inch bluegill are 2 completely different matters. I'm not saying that you can't catch bass on lighter gear but it's not exactly ideal.
