Adoa Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Hi everyone, I joined a few weeks ago and have been lurking reading all the old posts, and I just wanted to say hi and thank you all for all the great info here. I recently bought my first baitcasting rod and reel and have been checking all the old posts about how to cast and I must say that thanks to you guys, it has been an enjoyable (and much easier than I thought) experience learning how to cast it. I went fishing this weekend and used the new rod and reel for the first time, and it was great fun and I can see why you guys prefer baitcasting outfits. The control is definitely way better (I stopped the lure short of snags quite a few times). Also after quite a few hours of casting my right shoulder started to ache, which forced me to start casting with my left hand and now I can cast pretty well with both hands, which I never thought possible I also caught a couple of "little'ns" probably about a pound or so. So I learnt to cast, christened my new set-up and caught my first ever LM bass, which was in part thanks to you guys. So thanks again. Jon P.S. Oh by the way I am a Brit. living in Taiwan now, So quite far from you all . Quote

DADto4 Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Welcome .......got any pics to share yet? Quote
Adoa Posted October 29, 2008 Author Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks for the welcomes As far as the size here, I am not sure yet. Most of the places with bass here are pay fisheries. A friend and I are just trying to find places to fish at the moment. But I will let you guys know what I find . As for pics, this is one I caught last weekend...probably about 3/4 - 1 pound (not sure though) Oh seems I haven't posted enough to add pics yet :S Maybe later then Quote
