Dank, the time has arrived for you to start a library, both paper and computer.

 

Subscribe to Bass Times, Bass Angler's Magazine, join BASS and receive their Bassmasters Magazine, go to the Hampton BPS and start to look at their DVDs and make a list of the ones you want for Christmas and add Woo Daves site to your favorites and check out what Woo has to say about bass fishing.

 

Get folders at Staples and start saving articles from out of these publications for future reference.

 

Subscribe to BassResources's productions on YouTube. Save them in your "fishing information" folder on your computer.

 

Welcome to the Forum. We look forward to your input.

Welcome aboard!  Now that you are a member, use the search feature and become a sponge.  If someone is heading out in your area, then send them a PM and ask if you can ride along, but do yourself a favor and go buy a PFD for yourself.  Never assume there will be an extra one, let alone one that fits you properly.  The first couple times out, keep it simple.  This time of year, the bass will be a little more aggressive as they are feeding up in preparation for the winter.  Read up on fall tactics and the fall transition.  You'll find that there is plenty of info on here on that topic alone.  YouTube will become a great resource for you when you pair it up with items like Sam mentioned.  Read up on the tactics, watch the videos, then start thinking about what gear you may or may not need.  You might have the necessary gear to get started already.  Now all you need to do is look at your tackle and decide what you want to add.

Welcome!
