I've been lurking here for a couple years after getting into bass fishing. I've been fishing my whole life but mostly just worm and bobber growing up while camping with family. In 2013 I bought a cheap Jon boat and started learning how to bass fish in Kansas. Now two years later I have a RT188 and live within 10 minutes of a half dozen lakes near Warsaw, IN and try to fish at least one day a week, two if I don't have anything on the weekend. Next year I'm thinking I will try co-angling a couple tournaments to learn more from others in a competitive environment. It's one thing to read about it and another to see and experience it.
