Thanks, John. I PM'd you.

I'm a 64 year old guy who has been away from fishing for many years, but now I'm getting back in, for real... Despite all of the reading I've been doing on the web, I need to ask some basic questions (as basic as hook sizes) of a mentor. My basic issue is that all of my prior fishing has been in small streams where the big fish were rather small stocked trout. The places I intend to fish this year have fish that would have seemed like monsters where I fished as a youth! I just bought a Daiwa Revro 2500h reel and Ugly Stick Pro spinning rod 6'6" medium. I have some Berkley Vanish 10# fluorocarbon line that I'm on the fence about loading. I'm looking forward to fishing at a cottage I just reserved on China Lake in Maine at the end of July. The date was determined by a family reunion being held up there. I live in southeastern Pennsylvania near Philadelphia and will probably be fishing around there and possibly in southern NJ prior to the trip to Maine. Any volunteers? ;-)
