Hello from Austin, Texas.  I Googled "bass fishing" and found this site a couple of days ago.  I could NOT have asked for a better resource than this site.  The Articles for beginners are exactly what I need.  I'll be 48 next month and I know almost nothing about fishing.  I fished a few times as a kid and a couple as an adult, but that's it.  I've never personally known anyone who really knew anything about fishing either so I'm REALLY starting from scratch.  My family has bought kayaks within the last few months and we're going to emphasize fishing and recreational paddling.  My very limited experience has been fishing crank baits but I really want to learn how to fish soft baits, jigs and spinner baits.  All of my equipment (except one rod) is at least 25 years old but still works well. I am in the process of getting new gear.  There is so much equipment and so many techniques that I've never heard of that it is a bit overwhelming, but I'll figure it out.  The people on this website will definitely shorten the learning curve.  God Bless the Internet!!!

Take Care and have a Merry Christmas everyone,

Davo
