Little Luey Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Hello everybody, I am a new member and also a new bass fisherman, my previous fishing experience has been catfishing but I feel it is time I try catching bass. Got a baitcasting rod and reel and a Texas rig setup from one of the local guys here and I am ready to hit the water this weekend. Any advice for this newbee? I have been reading some of the articles in this site. I will be seeing you around. Luey Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Welcome to the forums! This is a great place. The best advice i can give you fishing a T-rig this time of year is to fish it SLOWLY. So slow that you will wish you brought a novel to read. The slower, the better. (And if you live north of texas it is even more inportant.) see you on the forums Matt Quote
paparock Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 Welcome to the forum Little Luey. Reading the articles on the site is a good place to start. Also, you can do searches of the forum on about anything for more info. In addition, post a question when you feel the need there are a lot knowledgeable fishermen and ladies here. Quote
Guest avid Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Howdy dude, All I know about Arizona bassin' is that it is very different from Florida. Check out the "fishing locations" forum and click on your area. Good luck and have fun. avid Quote
Cigarlover 1 Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Welcome LL! This is an excellent place to learn about Bass fishing. I'm a newbie to Bass fishing also. There's also a ton of good info and articles on the BassResource website. Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Welcome to a truly fun and learning experience.As Bucketmouth said,fish slowly this time of year.Also,be patient.Don't judge your fishing trip on how many you catch(and release,I hope).Think of it as a learning experience,and any bass you catch is just gravy!

New 2 Bass Posted December 7, 2006 Posted December 7, 2006 Welcome Just go fishing alot. Any chance you get, and keep reminding yourself to slow down the presentation. That alone has helped me out bigtime. later Quote

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted December 7, 2006 Super User Posted December 7, 2006 Cant wait to see your results, welcome aboard. Here is a little advice from you that you will eventually hear on here anyway (just to help you along a little bit): Buy a scale. Get a camera to take pics of fish. Buy Gary Yamamoto Senkos. That should start you on you BassResource.com way.... Quote
