I just took up fishing and I really dont know what to do. I have tried looking for tips to get me started, but dont really know where to look. My problem is, with all the baits and lures available I do not know what is the best for me. I know alot is personl preference, but suggestions would be greatly appreaciated. Here is some basic info to point me in the right direction.
1. I fish mostly in ponds ranging from less than 1 acre to over 40.
2. The water is about 45 degrees right now, and mostly cloudy.
3. I do not have a boat, so I fish from shore. One lake does have a dock that extends about 50 feet from shore.
Any help is better than what i know now. Thanks.
