ChrisG Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Hello, I have been lurking here for the last week or so trying to get some reviews on different gear and I finally decided to join up. I currently live in Georgia with my wife and 2 children and am looking to get back into fishing. I grew up in Tennessee and my grandfather had a camp on the Tennessee river so I spent a lot of time there with him fishing from an early age. I quit fishing for quite some time after he died, not for any particular reason other than I did not really have anyone to go with on a regular basis. I moved here in 2000 and my aunt and uncle live on a lake so I would go there on occasion but never really got back into it. My daughter is 6 now and I got her a pole a few years ago and she has enjoyed the trips we have taken so far. My son is 2 and I just got him a little pole and he has taken to it pretty well so far, he likes to press the button and reel it in and I am sure casting will come in time. My grandfather never fished for bass so neither did I so I am trying to learn as much as I can and dive right in so to speak. A friend of mine and I are taking a trip down the Flint river next week and I plan to try my hand at catching some shoal bass, hopefully we will have some luck. I just wanted to say hello and I am including a picture of my daughters first fish, her first words were "Can we eat it?" 2 Quote
