New Here & Having Fun

[ColoradoNative]

Good Afternoon! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the information that I have found on this site.

Being new to fishing (I didn't catch my first fish until two summers ago) and bass altogether (I caught my one and only SM about six weeks ago), finding a forum that is active is a godsend.

So far this summer I have learned about cranks, spinners and how to texas rig a worm. I bought a new pole and rod (nothing too exciting but better than my dad's old thumb reel & pole he had buried in the garage) and a few books. I also bought, lost and replaced tackle too much to count anymore.

But the best part of all of this is I that have two boys (2 & 7 years old) and the fun that we have had getting out and learning this sport together has been incredible. My husband rolls his eyes everytime I tell him we are headed to BPS (and the reason in which I now have a fishing budget...) and I now have a good motivational tool to keep my second grader in line at school.

I look forward to getting to know other members and learning more about bass fishing!
