nicksmurf111 Posted May 26, 2015 Posted May 26, 2015 My name is Nick and I've been fishing since I was 8 or so. My maternal grandfather and uncle were moderately interested in fishing. So my brother and I told our father that we wanted to go fishing. Even though he grew up with a small boat, he had no interest in fishing. He got us some Zebco 202 combos and bobbers and random stuff. He actually had a customer who was a fishing tackle middle-man, so I think he got us stuff twice from them. We only went fishing during summer RV trips. My first fish I caught at the RV pond was a bluegill that I caught, completely bored and ready to leave, on a black plastic spider jig. After a couple years, he got us some Shimano spinning combos and I got better and catching bluegill and small catfish... After a lot of reading as a child (and not understanding much of it), and not much use of a boat, I went to college in a town with a large river and learned the techniques for catching bass, walleye, catfish, carp, excreta. I've been out of school for 9 years now, I purchased a small rowboat and just got a trailer last year which helped tremendously. I've been ice fishing the last 2 years, and my 5 year old son and I have been on the boat a lot this spring. I can't say that I've ever been much into smallmouth and largemouth bass much, but the boat (in addition to being able to take my 5 year old) has totally changed my attitude about that. Quote
