New Here...and pretty much new to bass fishing

[OHBassFishinRedneck]

Hey all,
I am new to the forum....Kinda new to bass fishing too...My name is Ted and im from Northeast Ohio.I used to go fishing all the time when i was little... Then it just turned into twice or three times a summer.

Well this summer i really got into fishing. My sister and her boyfriend bought me a rod and reel combo and some tackle to get me started... (Ugly Stick with a Shakespere spinning reel and a spinner bait and jigheads and twirly tails,renegade worms and a few frogs.)

One of my best friends is a member on here (NJBassDevil) and he has been teaching me all sorts of things, and has been helping me out alot over the internet... Teaching me about rods,reels,baits,hooks, and many other things. I have had alot of fun learning from him and cant wait to fish with him someday. He is also the one that really started getting me interested in bass fishing. Then i tried just fishing for bass on my second fishing trip of the summer... and i caught 2 of them that night and after that i was hooked...

Now i am really into bass fishing...Priced a 361 Soft Plastic Bass Bait kit the other night on Bass Pro Shops website and i think i am going to get it and start fishing with soft plastics...

I am also planning on getting some more setups for bass fishing... Certain Rods and Reels for certain kinds of baits...

Just figured id introduce myself and give alittle background on myself and fishing...If anyone has any advice or tips or anything... Id greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
-Ted
