Wow thanks. Does anyone else have any more suggestions?

I posted earlier that I'm new to the sport and asked what's the best way to get started and a lot of people said to pick a couple lures and learn them first. I've been thinking about what two lures I should learn first. Can anyone help me choose my lures? I'll do most of my fishing on the banks (no boat) of a local lake that is only about 50 acres of water. It's an impoundment for flood control so in the winter level is lower than the summer level (not that I'll do much in the winter). Cover (grass, weeds, pads, etc.) doesn't seem very abundant any time of the year. Also there doesn't seem to be a lot of timber. The dam is made of large basketball size and small softball sized rock and is about 200- 300 yards across. What will help me? I'm thinking about spinnerbaits and jigs. Are these a wise choice? What would you choose?

Ok I've read the above and I agree I do need to get out on the water more. I also agree that I need to scale down and study and use only two techniques. I would like to learn how to use spinnerbaits and jigs. Would they be a good place to start? What do you recommend for me?

I posted this in another forum. Please read anyway. :-? Let me get the point!! I'm new to the sport of Bass Fishing. I have a full arsenal of lures, my tackle bag weighs over 30 lbs. I have read a few books, lots of mags, tons of articles, talked to fisherman, even went to Bassmaster U last year. I have a load of information in my head. I think I took in too much way too fast. I just have a couple questions can anyone please help me figure it all out. What is the best way to learn the sport? What should use and when? In need of your help.
