Good morning and welcome to Bass Resource. Thank you for your service.

Being a beginner to bass fishing, I haven't had much luck yet. The two times I have caught a bass was one on a Carolina rig with a 1/4oz egg slip sinker, 3/O offset round hook with a Zoom U Tail Tequila Sunrise colored worm and one on a weightless Texas rig with a Zoom U Tail Junebug Red colored worm. I don't get to fish anywhere near as much as I would like to so perfecting any of it has been challenging to say the least.

Thank you. ☺

I'm in central Louisiana and most of the water I get to fish is murky to muddy or at best stained. I have a 6' medium Matzuo rod (need a new spinning reel for it), a 7' medium Shakespeare combo and a 6'6" medium fast Lew's combo. All spinning reels. My favorite is the Lew's. I have 50lb Power Pro Spectra braid moss green color on all of them. I sometimes put some Trilene XL 14-20lb leaders on, but not much seems to work for me right now. I am new to bass fishing and guess I just gotta learn the ropes a bit more. I like your setups using all braid. I think I'm gonna stay with just braid too, unless I come across some clearer water.

Thank you.

Thank you. ☺ Thank you.

Hello everyone. I'm new here from Pineville, Louisiana. I'm originally from Shreveport. Moved here 3 years ago to kinda get away from it all. I grew up fishing alot on Mill Creek Reservoir in Saline, Louisiana where my grandparents and some aunts and uncles had a campsite on an acre or so of land right on the lake. As I got into my teen's I lost touch with fishing and here about 3 months ago my girlfriend talked me into going fishing with her finally. I forgot how much I loved it. Since then I'm really into bass fishing, unfortunately I don't have much skill at it. I subscribed to the BR YouTube page and have learned some things and ended up joining the newsletter also. A couple days ago I joined this site and I really enjoy all the articles. I have plenty of questions but I will see if past posts have already asked them and answered them for what I'm looking for. I gotta get back to work now, lunch break is over. I'll be back after 4:30pm CT. Have a great day everyone!

Great bios everyone. Thank you Glenn and all who make this site possible. I've only been bass fishing since late March early April 2017. I've only caught 2 largemouths, each weighed between 1-2lbs. Nothing special, but it's a start. So thanks again for having a place I can come to to learn how to get better at my new favorite hobby.

All done except for Google +, I'm not into that one. Love this site! Lots of great info

Thanks. That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Yum dingers would be the same thing, right?

What is considered at stickbait?

I'm new here. Also recently got back into fishing and I love it. Too much my girlfriend says...lol. Being summertime and all she can't take the heat much anymore, so I'm looking for a friend in the Rapides Parish, Louisiana area to go fishing with as often as possible. I work M-F from 8am til 4:30pm and I can go pretty much any time after that and on weekends as well. Anybody interested please give me a shout and hopefully we can get together. I'm new to bass fishing and nowhere near a pro. Can't get good at it if I don't get to practice. Also would like to know where some good bank fishing is around here? No boat access.

I would like to find a fishing buddy too. Unfortunately I live a bit far from Oklahoma. I'm in the Pineville area of Louisiana.

I'm in Pineville too.
