I've seen quite a few post from novice bass fisherman here on BR about learning all the new techniques. We have so many now, it gets confusing at times. Many members here( like myself) started bass fishing before everything became so technique specific. Is casting a spinnerbait into a stump field a technique? Or is casting a lipless bait around a choppy water cove a technique also? How about slowly reeling a big, 10" weightless worm over some pads or moss patches? Is this a technique too? Do any of the more experienced fisherman here think that a beginner would do better by taking a simpler approach, and not try to absorb so much technique specific info? I think they would do better this way. What are your thoughts here?
