Hey just joined yesterday figured I'd jot something down here. Ive been fishing for most of my life as far as I can remember, Dad always took me everywhere. I currently live in Indiana. Main places I usually fish are lakes, ponds, strip pits, anywhere there are bass. I wont fish the Wabash river just because the water is just plain gross and I always get a burn feeling from the water maybe just me but hey to each their own. I used to fish to eat fish, usually not bass when I fish to eat. I just started bass fishing early this season and been very lucky and found of it. I fish with two pole's they are both berkely e-motion poles and both have h20 mettle casters on them. Casters were cheap as a starting setup, poles are a 7' medium heavy / fast tip and a 6'10 / extra fast tip (frog pole). What I use mainly for catching bass are hollow bodied frogs, and senkos. Thanks guys looking forward to learning about bass.
