Hi Jim, welcome aboard!
Great place to glean knowledge from!
Personally, I'm a "worm" fisherman, too,
as they have been the most productive
bait I've ever used. As I'm all about
fishing for fun (not tournaments), I want
to be productive in the time I have.
But over the years I've learned other
techniques for the sake of expanding
my knowledge. So it's a good thing to do!
