Welcome to fishing...as a side note, all the guys on here who have kids should take note--how you act when you take your children fishing could have a lasting impact on how they view the sport. I know a lot of people (myself included) take this sport very seriously. However, if the sport is to continue growing, a new generation must be introduced. Think about how your kids view your actions; you probably wouldn't want Iaconelli teaching your kids about life and fishing, so try to act less like him.

Ok, enough of that....WHO WANTS TO FISH?

Hey Bronco,

I just read your thread for the first time. Welcome to the site and welcome to the great world of fishing! I saw that you live in Lillington, NC. That's about two hours away from where I live, close to Williamston. I go to Church with a guy who has an awesome pond, several acres and full of nice bass that are pretty easy to catch. I've caught my PB three times this year (7-5; 7-15; 8-9). It's not unusual to go out there and catch 25 bass just messing around. It's a great place to go and try out new lures and tactics. If you ever feel like driving a couple of hours just PM me and I'll give you directions and we'll go catch a few. Bring your wife too as long as she promises not to embarrase us too much!

Hey, thanks for the offer!  We may just have to take you up on it some time.
