Grew up fishing as a kid. Watched Bill Dance & Roland Martin relgiously on Saturday afternoons. Would pour through catalogs, dreaming about having a tackle box full of lures, owning my own baitcast reel, a bass boat, et. al. Then puberty set in: started playing the bass guitar (that's bass with a LONG "a!"), went to college, traipsed through life, got married, got divorced, and have landed in my early 40's. After drifting about the last few months without a hobby, had a dream where I was fishing and it was a great dream. I got out an old Ugly Stick combo I bought at Wally world a few years back, bought my new girlfriend a simple Zebco starter setup, picked up some crickets and hit the ponds. We had a GREAT time, which was the most important thing.

 

Now I'm at a point in life when I can actually afford all those things I dreamt about as a kid. Not going to buy everything (like a bass boat) but plan to buy a couple of better rods & reels, as well as a decently stacked tackle box.

 

I do have a canoe, but adding a trolling motor to it creates a giant headache in N.C. (have to get it titled if it has a motor?) so I'm keeping it simple for now.

 

Will have lots of questions of getting a real "big boy" rod & reel setup, but will put those in the right forums.

 

Looking forward to hearing some helpful answers, meeting some new folks, and making some new friends.

 

Thanks all,
