hey guys,

i appreciate the most excellent help on my "first 100 dollars help me build a newb kit" in the "fishing tackle" section.

yesterday, i went to a pond on a church camp where my friends parent works. when i first got there i caught a tiny tiny bass on a bettle spinner. i didn't have much luck. then, a lady that worked there came up and said "hey, they drained this pretty low not too long ago." She was very helpful and suggested i head down to the small creek below, that there were a few holes deep enough to hold a bass.

so i went down there. i had been creek fishing w/ others before a few times, but nothing this tight. so i got my shimano sedona spinning reel and slapped on a bleeding tube w/ a bullet weight weedless style. i swore i saw one right under a bridge...so i crawled down there and was only able to pitch like 5 feet out....so i slowly dragged...dragged. POP....pull...and yank....my first bass on my own....after going w/ others and seeing them weigh them...i looked to be about 1.25-1.5 lbs....so i went down a bit further and missed like 4 bass....(i wasn't beeing patient enough....) then i ended up catching another that was about 1.25 lbs it seemed...then before i left for the day...i went back to the bridge....by a down log...and plopped one in..i was reeling back and was like..dang ...i am hung....i reeled in a bit...and sure enough i had a bass! it was my first really like "good looking" bass i had of the day..it was a solid 2 lbs...

needless to say i won't forget my trip....there was nothing like doing all my own lures..picking the right lures and having them work..and feel like i new what i was doing slightly.

thanks for all your help guys!

Sounds like a good time.

Sounded like alot of fun! Having a nice rod and reel seems to make fishing alot easier. as far as doing it all on your own...Good Job!

Nice work

Congrats! Hope this is the first of many successful trips for you ;D

Atta boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done!
