Nice to meet you! 

Pretty new to targeting bass. I fished a ton when I was much younger (mostly panfish and some saltwater during vacations), but as I became an adult, I found it increasingly hard to carve out time to throw a line in the water. I imagine this is probably a pretty standard story. This year I started going fishing a couple of times a week at some local municipal lakes (they're closer to ponds) because my computer-based job was driving me crazy, and it greatly improved my quality of life!  

Bass has become my target species, mostly by accident. I hooked one during one of my early fishing "expeditions" and, well, I think it might have hooked me as well. I've become obsessed with them ever since. And luckily, where I live in North Carolina (The Triangle), they seemed to be fairly plentiful.  I recently took a road trip through the upper Midwest and was introduced to smallmouth. Those are awesome as well! 

I'm here to learn from much more experienced anglers and share what little knowledge I might glean in my fishing adventures. I'm tinkerer by nature, and mostly a bank fisherman (though that may change in the middle future), so my current project is building a fishing kit that breaks down for car rides, sets up quickly, and is lightweight so I can walk the bank until I find some fish!
