Hey guys.

Just thought I'd give a little introduction

 

I wet my first line way back in 1996.  I was born and raised in northern Virginia, and was a die-hard angler for all freshwater lake/pond species up until 2008 when I moved to WV. 

I'm a mere 3 miles from the Shenandoah river, but illness and other things got in the way so I haven't been fishing in over 7 years.  I just kind of drifted away from the hobby.

 

I'll be moving to Colorado next November, so I absolutely must get back into the sport that brought me so much joy over the years. 

Tonight I'm heading over to Walmart to get my license and new spinning rod (budget is limited, so maybe a Berkley Cherrywood or Lightning until I can afford to upgrade). 

Over the years I've lost my good rods, but I still have my boxes and boxes of reels, lures and tackle. 

 

Anyway I've been enjoying catching up on what's new in the angling world.  Look forward to participating in the forums.

 

Thanks for reading my intro

Welcome Chris!

Hi Chris, welcome aboard!

Thanks guys

I'm so excited to be back in the fishing game.  I've missed it soo much.

Welcome to BR CeeJay from a fellow West Virginian.  I'm in Falling Waters and you mentioned you are near the Shenandoah so we must be fairly close to each other.  I get over and fish the Doah near the Millville dam a couple times a year, though I'm primarily fishing the Potomac around Williamsport.

 

I took a 13-year hiatus from fishing and just started again 5 years.  I kick myself every day for missing so much fishing but I'm back now and physically addicted.

Hello Chris and Welcome to Bass Resource ~

Greetings Chris and Welcome to the forums

Welcome!

Welcome to BR.  Enjoy the forums.  Plenty of great information & great folks, too.

Thanks for the warm welcome

Looks like some great folks here.

 

I'm having lots of fun reading the posts, and hopefully maybe I'll have a tip or two to share as well.

It's interesting, the angling world hasn't changed all that much since I cast my last line several years ago.  And it's cool how quickly I remember all the things I learned when I was fishing about 30 hours per week.

 

Thanks again everyone.
