If they are chasing minnows or other baitfish Walmart has some power bait shad and minnows that are prehooked for about $3. Bass around here love them!

Thank you for your concern! I too am a protective Father! We had the boat pulled up onto the shore where he was standing and he just had to jump in to see the fish!

The week before Father's Day, my wife and I drove up to Tennessee and stayed the week with her parents. My father in law took me out fishing and I caught my first bass. I never liked fishing when I was younger but something about actually catching a bass got me hooked. I've been fishing every other day since then and when I got back in town I went to my dad's and started telling him about my fish and such and me and him sat for a good two hours just talking fishing, something I never had with my dad. He showed me different casting techniques, taught me about different lures and just had a gleam in his eye that I had never seen before when it comes to me and him. Over the past month we have talked more and been closer than ever before.

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the hospitality!

I've been using powerbait shad and have been hitting more times than not. I made sure I stocked up on those for $3 at Walmart.

Thanks a lot guys! It sure felt heavier than 3 but you guys know more than me! Maybe they always weigh more in your head? Haha

I'm new to fishing but I fell in love about a month ago and I've been going every evening after work with my son. I'm not too good with weights and I haven't got myself a scale yet. Anyone know round about how big this one is? Biggest one I've caught so far!

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and also new to fishing in general. When I was younger I never really wanted to fish and about a month ago I went and caught my first bass and I've been hooked ever since! Figured joining a site like this might give me some tips and tricks! I want to learn everything I can!
