Hey all; I'm not only new to this site but also fishing in general. I started fishing as an adult about a month ago and I can't stop reading, practicing, and thinking about it. I live in Mid-Western Florida, Tampa Bay area, and have plenty of spots to fish like ponds, lakes, creeks for freshwater. Large-mouth bass are native here and it shows. Lurking hogs are all over but I'm just now able to get out on the water via a fishing kayak. Lake Manatee is my home lake and only 10 miles from my house but I do fish ponds within biking distance. I use two bait-casting setups with one for bottom fishing and the other for anything else. -Sam
