I think some women might fear that men wouldn't welcome them. They'd be wrong. 

Agreed, one of my favorite anglers to follow is a woman, Kristine Fischer. Has zero to do with her appearance, she just explains things well and entertaining to read/watch.

 

Since joining this forum I've lost weight (in the wallet) and I now catch less bass than I did HOWEVER, large majority of the bass I catch are quality fish and in less than a year broke my PB 3 times. There are about a dozen techniques I still havent even touched yet. 

 

What I enjoy most is how active this forum is and the fact that its a forum. I dont do FB or their groups and most other forums dont have an active membership. You could go weeks before getting to an answer about something. Here has the knowledge and activity. Always something to read and learn.

I watch  Kristine Fischer too. She has the knowledge and the passion. I vacillate between catching a lot of bass and aiming for bigger bass. This morning was a bigger bass morning and I landed two over 21", about six pounds each (I didn't weigh them, but this is what the length to weight chart says and they were both fat, so I'm pretty confident that they were six-pounders.). 

 

You are right about the amount of help available here. Ask and question and the answer(s) is coming shortly. Like you, I've yet to try some lures and techniques and also like you, I already bought those lures!

This is a great site with many different personalities who offer up some good intentions along with some good, practical advise. Coming from a very popular saltwater site, it’s a refreshing experience to go into the freshwater world. It’s amazing how similar we all are as it relates to fishing in general. Even still, I find this site more relaxing and less intense. One can open up so much more on this site and say what they feel. That in itself is remarkable and is probably the main thing that I like about this site.

Those saltwater fishers are a little salty, eh?
