Noob from central NC

[Basstermind]

Like most here, I loved fishing as a kid, but then college, wife & kids, work, etc...got in the way for many years.  For almost 30 years mountain biking has been my main avocation, but I got (very) bored with the local trails and now basically use my bike to check out remote fishing locales.  I've been fishing pretty regularly for almost a year now, and how done pretty well all things considered (i.e. fishing places that hardly ever get fished makes it A LOT easier).  Learned a lot over the last year or so and have put together a pretty solid backpack kit with a telescopic rod.  Been using cheap Shimano stuff like Sienna 500 reels, but finally acquired a Shimano Vanford for improved bearing life/performance and drag adjustment.  Anyway, look forward to learning more from the resident bass loremasters.

Hello from the Sunshine State of Florida.

I used to live just north of Asheville, near a place called Burnsville.  Did a a lot of smallie fishing there

[Basstermind]

I know the area fairly well GRiver, and while it's a beautiful area, I suspect the fishing might be better in FL!

Howdy from Kentucky. The wife's folks are from over yonder in NC.

 

I started back recently after about a decade off. I lost all my gear in a fire, and that prolonged the restart. Having a son is what really prompted me. I want to boy to have the passion too, so, I figured he was pert near 4 and it was time to get back at it. He's caught a couple nice Largemouth and some  bluegill too now. I'm proud to say he has it as bad as I do, or ever did.

Hey!

 

Fellow NC basser here!  I'm from Greensboro and fish the 3 major lakes here and some public ponds also.  Lots of big bass in NC and lots of knowledgeable folks here that can help you catch em.

 

It's been a wonderful community to be a part of.  My catch rates and size have gone way up since hanging around here!

Hi, Basstermind! I like the way you fish, i.e. mountain biking to remote water and fishing from a backpack. Here's you explaining your roots:
