Hey there everybody. I'm not specifically new into fishing, as I have been fishing with my grandpa since I was in single digits (I'm a young 22 right now).

Although I stated I'm not new - that does not mean I know what I'm doing; by all means I have no idea.

 

I've had the occasional largemouth bass, though the largest I've ever caught was around 4 pounds and it was caught on half of a bluegill with a fellow fish on a seperate hook, same bait. 

 

I've caught my share of bluegill, as I'm sure just about everybody has, and I've caught my share of channel cats (though the largest only being 3 pounds 12 oz)

 

Largest fish I've caught has been a 14.1 pound common carp, measuring in at 30.3 inches, and that's all freshwater. I've taken a mass charter (davey's locker) twice; the first time not ending up very well, the second time catching a 4.5 pound red snapper and a 7.8 pound salmon grouper.

 

I'll probably be asking for plenty of tips, and I just bought my first microspin combo, and have no idea how to fish them.

 

 

Name's chris!

Greetings Chris and Welcome to the forums!

Welcome aboard, Chris!

Thanks everybody for their warm welcomes. As I said I just got a microspin, and I went to walmart today to buy some senko's and some 3/0 hooks so I'll try throwing them wacky or texas rigged next time I have a clear day out here to see how the fish react.

Welcome to the forums!
