My Dad did it. We moved from Central Fla, the Bass capitol of USA. Well we moved to South Ga, home of no Bass lakes/resevoirs.
Only a few rivers and ponds. Well my dad said no where to fish I guess, sold his boat, 25ish rods, and all his tackle. After a few years I showed him Bass fishing our local rivers.
Altamaha, Ocmulgee, Ohoopee, Satilla, etc.. Well after that he's bought another boat, new rods, and building new tackle back up.
