Hello everybody, I am a new member and also a new bass fisherman, my previous fishing experience has been catfishing but I feel it is time I try catching bass. Got a baitcasting rod and reel and a Texas rig setup from one of the local guys here and I am ready to hit the water this weekend.

Any advice for this newbee?

I have been reading some of the articles in this site. I will be seeing you around.

Welcome to the forums! This is a great place.

The best advice i can give you fishing a T-rig this time of year is to fish it SLOWLY. So slow that you will wish you brought a novel to read. The slower, the better. (And if you live north of texas it is even more inportant.)

see you on the forums

Welcome to the forum Little Luey. Reading the articles on the site is a good place to start. Also, you can do searches of the forum on about anything for more info. In addition, post a question when you feel the need there are a lot knowledgeable fishermen and ladies here.

Howdy dude,

All I know about Arizona bassin' is that it is very different from Florida.

Check out the "fishing locations" forum and click on your area.

Good luck and have fun.

Welcome LL! This is an excellent place to learn about Bass fishing. I'm a newbie to Bass fishing also. There's also a ton of good info and articles on the BassResource website.

Welcome to a truly fun and learning experience.As Bucketmouth said,fish slowly this time of year.Also,be patient.Don't judge your fishing trip on how many you catch(and release,I hope).Think of it as a learning experience,and any bass you catch is just gravy!

Welcome  

Just go fishing alot.   Any chance you get, and keep reminding yourself to slow down the presentation.  That alone has helped me out bigtime.
