Hello to the members from far western Massachusetts! I'm an old retired guy (I hold the patent for dust!) who has gotten back into bass fishing after a thirty-year hiatus and wow! Have things changed ... except for those sneaky bass!

 

Retired and have the time to really enjoy fishing so am slowly getting back into it.  Acquired a kayak and have spent many relaxing hours modding it to meet my specific requirements. Then I started to acquire my tackle. Man! Has the bass-fishing world changed! Back when I was fishing, if information wasn't passed on, there was no Internet or Bass Resource. The info floodgates have opened. And all these new (to me anyway) techniques, not to mention equipment, boggle my mind. Sheesh! Talk about feeling like a complete beginner! And when I saw the prices of my beloved Shimano reels, they made my hair stand on end! But now I've started over and frankly, thanks primarily to the Internet; Bass Resource; and, to be fair, the Informative Fisherman I am off and running, er ... paddling.

 

Glad to be a member!

Jbw252, A-jay, and Bluebasser86: Thanks for the welcomes! Surprised you made it through my avalanche of words. I should have read more intros myself - wouldn't have gotten so carried away. Hey! I'll learn.  It took me awhile to get paper-trained, too!

Welcome home! We're glad you're here.

Welcome to the best fishing forum on the interweb.  Since there are bass in western MA, I know where the eastern MA bass I'm not catching went ....

Glenn: Thank you! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when the Grand Poobah says,"Welcome!"  I've read the articles and learned so much from your vids.  Getting a chance next week to put into practice all the knowledge you've imparted since I got back into the sport.

 

DogBone_384:  Mebbe, but ya kept all the big ones out there in the high-rent district!  Anyway, thanks for the welcome.
