Hello everyone,
I used to fish a lot when I was younger, but in my late 20's, life got busy, I moved away, and haven't fished since. I'm now about to turn 60 this summer, and since I took an early retirement due to back and joint issues, decided I'm way to bored, and need a hobby to get me out of the house and into the outdoors that I love. Fishing immediately came to mind, since I used to love it so much. Admittedly, I'm pretty rusty, and having no boat, not really sure where to go around here (upstate NY..more specifically, Rochester area) but I thought I'd start here. Bass was always my favorite fish to go after. but honestly, I'm happy catching pretty much anything. I just like to get out and enjoy the sport. Stumbled upon this forum, and so....here I am. Any tips or ideas would be welcome, but I'm sure as I hunt through the threads, I'll pick up some ideas as to where to start. I'm hoping to find some shore spots to dip my line, but also, places where I can rent a small boat to get away from the shore crowds. If there's anyone around who would like a fishing partner, feel free to hit me up, but alone or with a new friend, I'm bound and determined to get out and drown some baits.
