Basstermind Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 Like most here, I loved fishing as a kid, but then college, wife & kids, work, etc...got in the way for many years. For almost 30 years mountain biking has been my main avocation, but I got (very) bored with the local trails and now basically use my bike to check out remote fishing locales. I've been fishing pretty regularly for almost a year now, and how done pretty well all things considered (i.e. fishing places that hardly ever get fished makes it A LOT easier). Learned a lot over the last year or so and have put together a pretty solid backpack kit with a telescopic rod. Been using cheap Shimano stuff like Sienna 500 reels, but finally acquired a Shimano Vanford for improved bearing life/performance and drag adjustment. Anyway, look forward to learning more from the resident bass loremasters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basstermind Posted September 19 Author Share Posted September 19 I know the area fairly well GRiver, and while it's a beautiful area, I suspect the fishing might be better in FL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazoo Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Howdy from Kentucky. The wife's folks are from over yonder in NC. I started back recently after about a decade off. I lost all my gear in a fire, and that prolonged the restart. Having a son is what really prompted me. I want to boy to have the passion too, so, I figured he was pert near 4 and it was time to get back at it. He's caught a couple nice Largemouth and some bluegill too now. I'm proud to say he has it as bad as I do, or ever did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Brown Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Hey! Fellow NC basser here! I'm from Greensboro and fish the 3 major lakes here and some public ponds also. Lots of big bass in NC and lots of knowledgeable folks here that can help you catch em. It's been a wonderful community to be a part of. My catch rates and size have gone way up since hanging around here! -Pat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
