I know how you feel. I just purchased my first bait caster as well. Lew's speed caster rod/reel combo w/ Trilene XT 14lb line.. And this thing can launch! I have the week off from work next week and hoping to pull in my first catch on it.

Yes, Rented. I do not recall the rates off-hand but it's not something I would pay regularly as its high. But for a one off, it's something different. You can probably call and ask.

I have gone there a few times for other activities.. I've only fished there once bc I wanted to fish off of a boat. It was fun but very expensive.

Most recently, Chambers Lake in Hibernia Park. Since it's only about 10-15min from me, it makes it easy to pick up and go last minute.

Thanks eveyone!

Hello Everyone, I'm a new Bass fisherman as of last year and have been enjoying it ever since I caught one by accident. Mostly fish a lake near my house and looking forward to the nicer weather.. Other than that, I go flounder fishing with my Dad and cousin twice a year in NJ. Looking to learn a lot from the forums here and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions being new to this.
