normanaj Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Been surf fishing the salt for 50+ years but as of late I've had to make some lifestyle adjustments and have been doing a lot of walking/light hiking that has brought me by many ponds and creeks which has rekindled my interest in freshwater fishing which I haven't done since my early 20s. Just made the investment in a St.Croix Triumph 6'6" ML spinning rod and hung a Shimano Sedona 2500 on it.Much like many things in life no one tool can do everything but this will be a good start for the types/areas I'll be fishing. Patiently waiting for Spring. 1 Quote

Patiently waiting for Spring. I had to do the same thing. Except instead of going from the surf I went from cold water fly fishing for trout back to bass fishing with gear. I grew up bass fishing obsessively so getting back to it makes me feel like a kid again and I think I am better angler for it too. I always kept a bait caster around as sort of a side gig that I would mess around with once or twice a year. But honestly even if I was transplanted back to a cold water plentiful place again I would stick with bass fishing for the foreseeable future. Quote
