hello When i was younger I use to fish all the time either bank or in a canoe. I know times have changed over the years. I restarted fishing a few years ago taking my kids mostly with live bait. Last year I started using artificial lures again. I know my tackle is old and outdated. I Had a friend that was helping me and got me using baitcasters. I am also teaching my son how to fish artificial with baitcaster and my daughter to use a spinning reel with artificials. I would accept any pointers or advice. we are mostly going to bank fish.
