Hey guys its Adam here from the good ole empire State, and I've been reluctant to catch a few bass as a young kid but always ended up catching more bluegill then anything (very rare that I ever caught bass). Now that I'm a little older I've realized I have a passion for this sport and hope to become a really good angler. I've been bass fishing now for a few months (since spring) and I've really taken to many baits especially the senko and other stick baits, favorite rig has to be the mojo rig. I'm looking to gain insights on many other techniques as I'm still learning. Hope you guys here will teach me a thing or two that I might not already know. As of now I use a baitcaster (Abu Garcia Vengeance rod,Abu Garcia Ultra Max reel) and have fallen in love with it not as hard as they say to use them. As for now I have had the opportunity to fish any lakes but i do enjoy the river from time to time whether it be catfishing or getting some smallies, but ponds seem to have my heart as it's not a snag fest. But that's about it, but remember guys never stop fishing because you never truly do once you're in it for life.
