Aside from fishing as a kid 45 years ago, I just bought my first rod and reel a few weeks ago.  I bought it because the kiddo wanted to go, and now I've got the bug.

 

We've mostly caught Sunfish, with a few catfish and a large mouth bass thrown in.

Welcome!! Great that you will be able to share the fishing journey with your kiddo!

Welcome to BR! Where at in Texas? 
 

Like you, I was out of fishing for years (about 25). Grew up in Maryland and moved to Texas (Conroe-N of Houston) in 2019. Went fishing a few times in my local pond with gear that was 30-50 years old. Caught my PB that was more than twice as big as any bass I ever caught in MD. I now have 8 new rigs, a small boat and tons of tackle lol. 
 

Read and learn here. You will learn so much as changed and mostly for the better. You WILL catch bass!

Nice ! Welcome to the forum oldnewguy. 

Yeah, we've had some nice daddy-daughter time. 

 

I only remember a couple of knots, and we've only fished with with bobbers and worms, but we've had a blast.

Oh, I'm just north of Ft Worth

Hi from the Sunshine State of Fl.

I sorta did the same thing….fished a lot when I was younger, got out of it during the military and a few years after that. When I did pick it back up, thanks to this site, made it so I able to learn a lot.
