Hi everybody!

I have been reading through the resources and forum posts for the past few days and now I got the itch. I can't wait to get out and get started bassin' with all the new knowledge that I have gained. Hopefully I'll get to show up my friends when I reel in bass after bass.

I am currently using a hand-me-down rod (w/ spinner reel) and a tackle box of mixed lures from my father. I mainly do fishing off the bank or docks at ponds.

Once I find some more change in my pocket I hope to stock my box with the proper lures. Currently I have a bunch of small hooks, plastic worms, grubs, and bobbers (no wonder I only catch crappie and blue gills).

I know I'll be back with some questions once they come to mind. Anyway glad to meet you all.

    Welcome!  Nothing wrong with Crappie and Bluegill.  Bluegills are scrappy fighters and fun to fish.

    I was born at Ft. Monroe.  Lived in Yorktown until the family moved back "home" - mountains here in NC.
