Hello everyone, new to fishing and new to the forum.  I used to fish with my dad about 15 years ago, and liked it a lot.  I really enjoy fishing shows on tv too.

I've never caught anything but bluegil in Illinois.  I lived in Tampa, FL for 2 years, and fished off of the skyway pier a lot, but only caught 3 fish, none over 1 lb to be honest.  I just like being outdoors and love the feeling of being around water.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys, and start landing some fish!  I probably will be much more of a researcher than a poster, but I'll let you all know when I land my first bass!

And to any fellow musicians out there, I also post under Bochafish on talkbass.com, a bass guitar forum lol.
